Highlight Explained

Can Be Activated to Interrupt Turn Order

Highlight Can Be Used Regardless of Order
You can use Highlight any time as soon as it is at 100%. It can be used to interrupt the turn order and turn the tide of battle to your favor.

How to Change Turn Order

Shared With the Party

Wonder Highlight

Highlight is shared among the party members, meaning only one character can use it once it is ready. Make sure to use the right character for the Highlight as it can flip the situation around, especially against bosses.

Has a Cooldown of Four Turns

Wait Four Turns

The same character won't be able to use Highlight for the next four turns after using it. Use Highlight wisely to ensure your advantage in battle.

Highlight Cannot Exceed 100%

Once Highlight is at 100%, you won't be able to gain more until you use it. It's best to use it immediately if you're only fighting weaker enemies to maximize your damage in battle.

Can Be Carried Over to the Next Battle

Highligh Can Carry Over to the Next Battle

Highlight can carry over to the next battle. It means if you have 50% Highlight build up from the previous battle, you will start the next one with the same percentage.

You can use this to build up Highlight before battling a powerful enemy in the area.
