All allies with combo abilities attack together.
Description
Combos (コンボアビリティ, Konbo Abiriti?) is an action ability in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance that allow party members to initiate or join in on a combo. Combos are usable once the character has at least one Judge Point.
The initial attack has 100% accuracy, ignores reaction abilities, and deals damage equal to a basic attack. Other characters with a combo set may join in if they are within the range of their equipped combo ability (some can join in up to six spaces away, others have to be right next to the victim).
Each joining unit has a specific range, accuracy, and percent of damage added, when adding to a combo. Combos with more range or damage added are usually less accurate.
If one or more members successfully add in, then extra Judge Points further increases damage, as so:
where Multiplier is the sum of all additional attacks that "connect". Only the JP of the initiator is considered for this formula.
While powerful, combos can be difficult to learn. They are learned from Mythril Weapons—which can only be obtained as rewards for defeating another clan or via trading from Nono's shop.
