Brave Order

Brave Order is a combat mechanic in and that allows a character to give the party a lasting bonus at the cost of Brave Points.
== Description ==
Brave Orders are abilities unique to each playable character in the series. On any party member's turn a Brave Order of any living party member can be activated, even if they are in backup or unable to act due to status effects. Activating a Brave Order does not cost a turn. 
Most playable characters have only one Brave Order. Rean Schwarzer is the only exception from this rule in with 2 to 4 Brave Orders available. In Lloyd Bannings and C have two Orders as well. Certain nonplayable characters, such as Patrick T. Hyarms have a Brave Order available when travelling with the party despite not participating in combat directly.
Each Order has a lasting effect with duration that decreases by 1 at the end of every party member's turn, excluding turns used to start casting an art, and some have an immediate effect that applies to all active party members, such as giving them a buff or recovering HP. No more than one Order can be activated per turn, and activating an Order while another one is active will cancel the old Order. It is also possible to cancel Brave Orders directly at no cost.
