Heroism Gauge

The Heroism Gauge is the bar that appears on an area when selected on the campaign map. It increases over time as battles take place in that location. It appears to affect the frequency of battles in those locations, as well as the special abilities of freelancers when they appear in those locations- for example, Areuhat's chance to transform into a wyrm is apparently affected by this. "Heroism Gauge" is also found in as a term in the Auto-Translator. Also the NPC Maruna-Kurina's Notes about Areuhat make mention of the Heroism Gauge, although it is not very clear from the conversation how the gauge works.
See the Discussion page for more about the Gauge's possible effects.
