Overdrive

Overdrive (オーバーライズ) is a combat mechanic in . 
== Description ==
Overdrive is introduced at the entrance of Lunaria Nature Park during . From then on, the Overdrive Gauge will be enabled, allowing two linked party members to activate Overdrive when full. At the start of , a second gauge becomes available, enabling two Overdrive activations at a time. The Overdrive Gauge fills when successfully attacking enemies and winning battles.
== Overdrive Gauge ==
The Overdrive Gauges fill by attacking and defeating enemies, healing allies, and obtaining tactical bonuses after a victory.
*Each enemy attacked fills the gauge by 1%, while each enemy defeated fills 2%.
*Entering a battle with Triple Advantage fills the gauge by 1% for each enemy damaged.
*Healing an ally (must be a different character than the healer) fills the gauge by 2%.
*Damaging an enemy through basic link attacks and using link abilities does not increase the gauge except for the 2% for defeating an enemy.
*Rush and Burst fill the gauge by 1% for each enemy attacked by each character.
*After a victory, the gauge fills by the tactical bonus multiplier ×5% (including the base 1.0).
== Overdrive ==
When the Overdrive Gauge is full, Overdrive can be activated on a party member's turn if they're linked with another member who they can Overdrive with. Activating Overdrive grants the following effects:
*All negative effects are removed from the characters and they recover 30% of HP and EP and 30 CP.
*The linked members will have 3 turns in which their delay will be reduced to 0, starting with the activating member.
*All attacks they make unbalance enemies if they can.
*Arts are instantly used without spending a turn to cast.
Using crafts that have 0 delay will not take up an action, but switching party members will instantly end Overdrive.
== Requirements ==
Only Rean Schwarzer can Overdrive by default with any other party member, with the exception of Toval and Sara, Claire and Millium, Sharon and Alisa, and Lloyd and Rixia. Any other pairing requires defeating a specific Trial Chest found in various locations. Additionally, inside the Reverie Corridor there are no pairing restrictions.

== Trivia ==
* Overdrive is a similar mechanic to Burst from .
* All victories with Overdrive in effect count as though a link attack is used for victory dialogue, even if the final attack was an orbal art or no link attack.
