Summoning an Eidolon is a technique.
Spend TP to use techniques.
Description
Techniques (TPアビリティ, TP Abiriti?, lit. TP Abilities) are abilities in Final Fantasy XIII used by expending TP in battle. Characters learn Techniques by advancing through the Crystarium, while the placement of each ability varies per character. Only the party leader can use Techniques, at the player's command. Using a Technique does not expend ATB gauge segments, and the party leader will not flinch from attacks during the casting animation.
Techniques[]
Summon[]
Summon an Eidolon.
Description
Summon costs 3 TP and is learned when a character acquires his/her Eidolon. It dismisses the other two party members and summons the character's Eidolon on the battlefield to fight alongside the summoner. In Gestalt Mode, the summoner and the Eidolon join forces, and the player can command the Eidolon with button commands. After the Eidolon is dismissed, the party returns at full health, with all previously KO'd characters revived, and all status ailments healed.
Libra[]
Reveal partial status information on target.
Description
Libra is the first TP ability the characters learn, available at Crystarium Stage 1. It reveals the enemy's information screen at the cost of 1 TP. Depending on the enemy, it will have to be cast 1-3 times to gain every single piece of information. The item Librascope does the same to all enemies and reveals all information at once. The player is rewarded with the trophy/achievement Loremaster upon fully revealing 100 enemies' info.
Lightning and Sazh learn Libra in the Ravager role, Snow in the Sentinel role, Vanille in the Medic role, Hope in the Synergist role, and Fang in the Commando role.
