Core Exposure
- Every Kaiju has a hidden core that must be exposed before Ultimates deal full damage.
- Use skills matching the Kaiju's weakness attribute to chip away at PLT and expose the core.
- Once exposed, the core is vulnerable for a limited window — coordinate your squad's turn order to maximize damage.
- Attacks on a Core Exposed Kaiju do not count toward Seen Through activation count.
SP (Skill Points)
- SP is a shared resource spent on Combat Skills across the whole squad.
- Normal Attacks are free. Combat Skills cost 1–2 SP.
- Some characters generate SP through passives or Ascension nodes — check individual character pages.
- Don't burn SP early if you need it for a key window later in the fight.
PLT (Plates)
- Kaiju have PLT that must be destroyed to expose the core.
- Certain attack types (Slash, Shot, Blunt, Piercing) are more effective against specific PLT.
- Destroying PLT charges your Ultimate Gauge — Normal Attacks on PLT are never wasted.
- Some skills and passives trigger effects specifically when PLT is destroyed.
Ultimate Gauge
- Each character has an Ultimate Gauge that fills as they attack and take hits.
- When full (default limit: 300), the character can activate their Ultimate attack.
- Some characters modify their gauge limit or charge rate through skills and ascension.
- Always save Ultimates for when the Kaiju's core is exposed for maximum impact.
Action Order
- Turn order is determined by each character's and Kaiju's SPD stat.
- Some skills advance or delay Action Order — use these to chain Ultimates efficiently.
- Freeze and Stun can delay or prevent enemy actions.
- SPD buffs from Supporter characters can give your squad more frequent turns.
Damage Types
- ST (Single Target) — Hits one Kaiju for full damage.
- Blast — Hits primary target and adjacent Kaiju (reduced damage to adjacent).
- AoE (Area of Effect) — Hits all Kaiju on the field.
- Additional DMG — Bonus hits triggered by passives, separate from the main attack.
- DoT (Damage over Time) — Damage dealt at the start of a turn via ailments.
Elements: Fire, Ice, Wind, and Lightning are elemental damage types applied by certain characters. These deal bonus damage to Kaiju with matching weaknesses and enable elemental ailments (Burn, Freeze, Windbite, Shock). See the Elements & Users and Damage Types sections below for the full breakdown.
