Starbites

Bitter — A planet once known as a refuge for astral wanderers and pioneers. Today, the star is riddled with the refuse left behind by interstellar warfare, leaving entire landmasses barren and uninhabitable. With few options for settling elsewhere, much of Bitter's remaining population–criminals, fugitives, and troublemakers–has gathered in the planet's only city: Delight. Among the city's many residents is Lukida, a young woman determined to break free from Bitter and its sandy wastelands once and for all. However, in following her desire to reach the stars, she'll uncover secrets about the planet that have the potential to change her life forever…

  • Fracture Effect: To exhaust foes' defenses, strike them with skills they're vulnerable to. Once their shields have been completely fractured, they'll be immobilized for several turns!
  • Support Roles: Set characters to act as support for those in your main party! Upon breaking an enemy's defenses, characters assigned to the support role will come out swinging with a follow-up attack!
  • Driver's High: Upon taking and dealing damage, your DH Gauge will accumulate charge! Once the gauge has filled completely, you'll have the chance to force your turn in combat. Doing so will strengthen your attacks, increase the number of times they land, alter their attributes, and grant the ability to attack consecutively.
