Ougon Musou Kyoku/Abilities

Summary

Every character in Ougon Musou Kyoku has a hidden ability. You can use these traits to power your character and their partner for a limited period of time. There are three ways to provide buffs with your abilities.

• One is through the use of a Neutral Touch - when you switch characters this way, the character that enters will gain the ability of their partner for a set amount of time.
• Another way is through the use of an Assault Touch - doing it this way will also grant the character that enters their partner's ability, but for a far shorter amount of time (usually around three to four seconds).
• Lastly, you can also bring out your abilities by successfully entering the Meta World. During that period of time, your current character gains two abilities, one from themselves and one from their partner.

Beware though, triggering abilities via the Meta World will cause them both to expire at the same time, with a duration equal to that of the shortest lasting ability. This can be of detriment to certain characters.

Abilities

	Battler Ushiromiya
	Resurrection User gradually recovers health throughout its duration, up to a maximum of 400 health. Very simple and goes well with the other abilities. Duration: 9 seconds
	Ange Ushiromiya
	Stun Boost Roughly triples the amount of stun the user deals. You can very easily stun your opponent while this is in effect to give you more opportunities for big combos. Duration: 7 seconds
	Chiester 410
	Break Boost Increases the damage dealt to the opponent's Break Limit by 50%. This goes well with moves and specials that do multiple hits since it can allow you to break your opponent's guard easily in one fell swoop. Duration: 15 seconds
	Beatrice
	Infinity SP Allows the user to perform an SP move for no cost once. This includes the character's SP2 moves. Duration: 10 seconds. One time use.
	Eva Beatrice
	Berserk Increases all damage dealt by 25%. Command grabs ignore this ability. A simple but effective trait. Duration: 7 seconds
	Kanon
	Silent Attack The amount of SP the opponent receives from the user's attacks is reduced to 33%, both on hit and on block. Duration: 10 seconds
	Lucifer
	Attack Touch Allows the user to perform an Attack Touch once, regardless of the Touch Gauge's current state. If it is full, the user will be able to Attack Touch without depleting the gauge. Duration: 10 seconds. One time use.
	Ronove
	Counter Boost Drastically increases the effects of counter hits (both damage and stun dealt). The weaker the original hit, the stronger the boost: 50-70 damage → 700% increase 135-170 damage → 300% increase 210-270 damage → 135% increase This can be useful for Ronove since he has counter techniques and effective frame traps. Only the first hit in a combo will benefit from this ability; in other words, activating it mid-combo will not boost its damage. Duration: 7 seconds
	Shannon
	Auto Guard While active, the user will automatically block any attack, regardless of orientation (overhead/low, left/right). Will actually block in situations that would otherwise be impossible to block in, such as during the recovery frames of a dash. Be careful, however: this ability will not work if the user is in the middle of an attack's animation - they will simply get hit like normal. Duration: 15 seconds
	Virgilia
	Brimful Recovers SP over time for both characters, up to a maximum of 0.7SP. This ability, alongside George's Patience, is the only way to gain SP on the active character. Duration: 10 seconds
	George Ushiromiya
	Patience The user will gain SP from blocking. The amount of SP gained is the same as the SP gained by the user's partner. This ablity, alongside Virgilia's Brimful, is the only way to gain SP on the active character. Duration: 15 seconds
	Jessica Ushiromiya
	Shave Boost Doubles shave (chip) damage dealt by the user. Shave damage dealt will not generate recoverable health. Duration: 15 seconds
	Rosa Ushiromiya
	Detachment On hit, the enemy's Touch Gauge will break for ten seconds. Duration: 10 seconds. One time use.
	Erika Furudo
	Force Counter All hits will register as counter hits (only applies to the initial hit in a combo). Duration: 7 seconds
	Dlanor A. Knox
	Armor Boost Reduces all damage taken by 50%, rounded down. Command grabs are unaffected by this ability. Duration: 15 seconds
	B.Battler
	Massacre The user heals themselves for 25% of all damage dealt to the opponent. Duration: 9 seconds
	Willard H. Wright
	SP Cancel Allows the user to cancel a special move or SP super into a move of a higher priority (special → SP/SP2 → Meta Super) once. Performing this cancel will force the opponent into a hitable state, regardless of what the cancelled move was (for instance, Battler can do 623SP (SPCancel)metaSuper, even though the 623SP would normally leave the opponent in an unhitable state). Duration: 10 seconds. One time use
	LambdaDelta
	UltraPER Empties the user's Break Limit upon activation. Duration: 10 seconds. One time use (consumed on Touch).
	Bernkastel
	Meta Boost Regenerates the Meta Gauge at a faster rate (roughly 150% faster). This regeneration actually works against the natural depletion that occurs when in the Meta World, causing it to last longer. Duration: 15 seconds.
