ACT

**ACT** is Frisk's Standard special move in ACT Mode.

## Description

When Frisk chooses to ACT, they must be facing a foe in a select radius. A text box will appear with two lines, one being the action Frisk does, and the other being the reaction from the opponent. Frisk is immobile during the first action, but after the startup they will release their Soul and trigger the reaction, then being able to move.

After the opponent's reaction, they'll deal less damage to Frisk for 20 seconds. Just be cautious not to get hit during the action phase, else the move gets cancelled-out. The opponent doesn't have to stand still to get the debuff, just to be in radius at all when Frisk activates it. In team battles, an ACT can increase an ally's attack as well, for the same 20 second duration.

### Move Origins

This attack is based on the ACT command during battles in Undertale, primarily used in the Pacifist run but also can be used in Neutral runs as well and heavily restricted use in the Genocide run. The ACT command allows the player to interact with the enemies in many different non-violent ways and is one of two methods to spare enemies and the one most likely to work, the other being weakening them until they have low HP. The debuff is a reference to how acting may result in enemies adjusting their attack strength up or down depending on the specific ACT. The patch changing the color of name of the opponent when hit by the move refers to the state enemies in Undertale reach when they are ready to be spared.
