Notes

  • Utilize Regroup especially when you are dealt with a high damaging area attack and put into danger state.
  • Starshell is mainly used against daemons as it weakens them temporarily.
  • Royal Guard temporarily puts Noctis in Serene status which increases his HP and MP recovery rate. This also negates all damage and is required for Gladiolus to have a shield equipped. Attacking immediately ends this technique's effect.
  • Use Overwhelm when fighting against a boss or any strong enemy. It deals tons of damage but to only one target.
  • Impulse, Sagefire, and Trigger-Happy are techs that can deal massive area damage.
  • Tech Damage and Quick Tech speeds up the tech bar regeneration which lets you use more techniques for damage and survivability.
  • Unlock the Limit Break abilities when you can already reach the damage limit with your techniques.
