Special Moves

Special moves draw from one shared FP pool. Check the whole party’s recovery needs before spending the last points on damage. “Starting move” means the character already knows it when recruited; it does not mean every character joins at level one.

Use the move’s own timing

Jump chains require repeated timed contacts, while fire attacks use repeated presses. Geno Beam charges before release. Practice the input shown for each move instead of applying the normal weapon timing to every spell.

Geno Boost always helps offense; a successful Action Command adds defense. Group Hug heals the active group and removes statuses, but it does not revive fallen allies. Come Back is the two-FP revival move, with full restored HP when timed correctly. Reserve at least the FP needed for your next recovery before choosing another expensive group attack.
