At the start of the fight, when the user uses their Basic ATK, their Ultimate, and follow-up attack disregards the opponent’s DEF.
• Eternal Calculus: (Boundless Thought): Amplifies the wearer’s ATK. Depending on the number of enemies hit with their attack, the user’s ATK gets boosted by 4% per enemy hit. If the user hits 3 or more adversaries in a single attack, their SPD gets boosted by an additional 8% for a turn.
