Karma (ability)

Karma, also known as Everyone's Grudge , Ultimate Grudge, or simply Grudge, is a recurring enemy ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is the Tonberry's special attack, which usually deals fixed damage directly proportional to the number of enemies the targeted character has defeated. It is often used as a counter-attack when the Tonberry is too far away from the player to attack physically.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy VII===
Everyone's Grudge is used by the Master Tonberry if it is attacked twice before it takes a step. It deals unavoidable non-elemental damage to the second character that attacked it, equal to the number of enemies they have killed x10.
The regular Tonberry, found only in the Battle Square of the Gold Saucer, uses a similar attack, called Time Damage, as its counterattack against three consecutive attacks since its last turn, which deals damage equal to (hours played)x100 + minutes played. The attack is rarely seen due to the enemy's low HP and the speed advantage necessary to land the attacks in the available time with a single character.

Should the player encounter many Tonberries at once, it is likely they will successively cast Karma, which will be fatal since it can deal thousands of damage at once.
===Final Fantasy VIII===
Everyone's Grudge is used by the Tonberry as a random counterattack to any attack, and it deals damage to the target equal to the number of monsters the target has killed x20. It is used as a counter to the second attack on it before it takes its first step of that battle. If a character hit by this attack has killed 500+ monsters, Everyone's Grudge is an instant KO. The player can use Rinoa's limit break Invincible Moon or be amid summoning a Guardian Force to avoid dying to the attack.

====Tonberry ability====
Everyone's Grudge is an ability used by most of the members of the Tonberry family. A stronger version, called Everyone's Rancor, is used by Tonberry Notorious Monsters.
Both attacks are considered magical damage and are influenced by an invisible modifier known as "The Tonberries' Rancor". Everyone's Grudge is 5x the total value of a player's accumulated Tonberry Rancor, with Everyone's Rancor raising the modifier to 50x. Tonberry Rancor is accumulative and can reach a point where it becomes impossible to survive getting hit by one of these attacks.
====Blue Magic spell====

After a certain point it will use Deep-Seated Grudge, resetting its chain gauge and fully healing itself while dealing heavy area damage to the party. It is often considered incredibly difficult to defeat a Tonberry after this due to it continuously growing in strength as the level of its Grudge increases from Deep-Seated Grudge into Serious Grudge, Vehement Grudge, Unfathomable Grudge, until the final Grudge move, Ultimate Grudge.
====Final Fantasy XIII-2====
When Tonberry is recruited into the party, its Feral Link is Ultimate Grudge.
===Final Fantasy XIV===
Everyone's Grudge is an attack used by the Tonberry King, the last boss in the . It deals heavy damage to the character with the highest enmity.

The Tonberry King receives a Rancor stack whenever a regular Tonberry is killed during the boss fight, and Rancor is reset after every use of Everyone's Grudge.
===Final Fantasy XVI===
Everyone's Grudge is an enemy ability used by the Tonberry King. When used, the King disappears and summons a horde of Tonberry Shadowers who will slowly approach Clive. Once they get close, they will speed up and deal massive damage if they catch him. The Shadowers are very frail and should be picked off from a distance, as there is no other threat during this phase. The Shadowers will otherwise despawn upon successfully hitting Clive. Once all Shadowers are defeated, the ability ends with the King emerging from hiding to ambush Clive from above.
