Charge Charge Charge.png Charge.pngCharge is a Status Effect that is gained through various skills and is spent to improve skill effects. Charge Count decreases by 1 at the end of each turn. Most Charge.pngCharge users only use Charge Count, while some also gain Charge Potency by spending Charge Count and use it for additional skill effects. Charge normally has a maximum Count of 20, although this can be increased through Passives or E.G.O Gifts.

Charge.pngCharge is linked to the LcbSinEnvy.pngEnvy Sin Affinity.

Contents Strengths & Weaknesses Charge.pngCharge is an easy Status Effect to use, as it only decreases from spending Charge or at Turn End. Charge-based Identities also usually deal high damage with high rolls on Skills that spend Charge Count, which makes them versatile. Another notable benefit of Charge is that Charge.pngCharge Identities do not need a "Charge team" to function at full capacity. A high level Charge Identity can be placed on any team.

Charge.pngCharge does not have particular strengths or weaknesses, with the exception that Charge Identities need a couple of turns to raise their SP and Charge Count in an Encounter before they can fight at full capacity. Several Charge Identities have significant punishments for using their Skill 3's without enough Charge, while others simply result in low rolls. Identities that rely on spending charge count to generate potency may instead have a Skill 3 that gains charge and have a Skill 2 that spends a large amount of charge.

Charge.pngCharge is the most effective against enemies weak to LcbSinEnvy.pngEnvy and LcbSinGloom.pngGloom due to the skill distributions of Charge Identities. Because they usually have extremely powerful Skill 3's, a Charge team can deal tremendous damage in a single turn if an opportunity arises (such as a Staggered enemy).

Charge.pngCharge Identities usually have powerful Uptie IV's that increase the rate at which they gain Charge, reducing the importance of having teammates or E.G.O to support Charge Count generation.

Charge Potency While most Charge.pngCharge Identities utilize only the Count, some can raise their Charge Potency by accumulating spent Charge Count throughout the Encounter.

Charge.pngCharge Potency is not spent, they instead serve as a long-lasting benefit that requires a considerably longer time to acculumulate than Charge Count.

All Identities start with 1 Charge.pngCharge Potency, and Identities with 2+ Charge Potency will never lose Charge, even if the Count reaches 0. (Except for Identities with Potency-fixed Unique Charge.)
