Co-abilities Guide

Co-abilities are special abilities that apply over all adventurers in a team.

Changelog

This is a list of all notable updates made to this guide. Note that these updates don't always line up with game updates.

If multiple updates happen within the same day, they're batched together into that day's entry in this log. For a full archive of edits, you can view the History button at the top of the article.
Sometimes a couple days of analysis time are needed to judge where new co-abilities can be used. Some new co-abilites may end up not being useful enough, in which case a particular game update might not justify a guide update.
Build updates happen as the meta develops, which also can be off-schedule from actual game updates.
Formatting changes occur based on user feedback and discussion over time.

Co-abilities

Co-ability Basics

Each adventurer has access to a Co-ability (often abbreviated to "coab", or primary co-ability) as well as a Chain Co-ability (often abbreviated to "CCA", or secondary co-ability). We will cover Chain Co-abilities later.

Co-abilities will often depend on the adventurer's weapon type, as follows:

Co-ability	Weapon Type
Dragon Haste	Sword
Strength	Blade
Critical Rate	Dagger
Defense	Axe
HP	Lance
Skill Haste	Bow
Skill Damage	Wand
Recovery Potency	Staff

Rare Co-abilities

Some adventurers will have a different co-ability than what would be normal for their weapon type. We will call these "Rare Co-abilities":

Co-ability Mechanics

When using Co-abilities, their mechanics must be kept in mind:

Effect Intensity - The initial intensity of a Co-ability will start at different amounts depending on the adventurer's base rarity.
- For instance, a 3
  Error: Table Adventurers not found.
  will start with a 1% strength co-ability, while a 5
  Error: Table Adventurers not found.
  will start with a 5% strength co-ability.
- Co-abilities can be upgraded in the 5th floor of the Mana Circle, and once fully upgraded, all co-abilities will have the same intensity. For example, a fully-upgraded
  Error: Table Adventurers not found.
  and a fully-upgraded
  Error: Table Adventurers not found.
  will both have a 10% strength co-ability.
Backline - Co-abilities will affect your own team in solo play, but will only affect yourself in co-op play. This means that the 3 units in the "back" who don't enter combat, called your "backline", can still support your main adventurer with their co-abilities. However, the other human players will not be affected by your co-abilities at all.
- In raids, the same principle applies. Co-abilities will only affect your own team, and there is no interaction of Co-abilities between human players.
Stacking Restrictions - You cannot stack two of the same Co-ability on a team - the highest value wins. For example, if you have 2 blades with Strength +8% and Strength + 10%, only the 10% will be applied.
Slightly-Confusing Wording - Literally every co-ability says "benefits your whole team" at the end, so you can ignore that text for the most part. Where this gets confusing is for effects such as "Poison = User Strength" that only affect the user. It won't buff the entire team when one person lands poison, but anyone on the team is able to activate it on themselves.

Strength

Combo = strength
Affliction = user strength
Dragon's Claws - significant for units with ample access to dragon form, such as Forte
High HP = strength - 6% at the high end, falling below the 10% of Blades. This CCA is usually not relevant.
Low HP = strength - 15% at the high end, beating the 10% of Blades. Ideal on enmity units.
Energy = strength - 10% at the high end, and lasts for 15 seconds every time energy is recieved. This matches the 10% of blades, but such uptime may not be realistic.
strength doublebuff = 10% at the high end, and lasts for 15 seconds every time a defense buff is recieved. This matches the 10% of blades, and such uptime is probably realistic.

Critical Rate

Combo = crit rate
Affliction = user crit rate
High HP = crit rate
crit rate doublebuff

Inspiration

Energy = inspiration

Shield

low HP = shield

Affliction Chance

Affliction Edge

Elemental Resistance
