Overview
Special Actions are distinct acts that Warriors can perform during Battles. These include Unique Skills and attacks using Zonai Devices. Pressing the R Button opens the Special Actions Menu, which allows the Warrior to pick a Special Action. There are five slots to which Special Actions can be assigned, corresponding to the A, B, X, Y, and ZR Buttons. Actions assigned to the ZR Button are able to be used without pressing the R Button first, which is not the case for other slots. Special Actions can be assigned from the Allies menu, but they can also be changed during Battle by pressing the right Directional Button while the Special Actions Menu is raised.[2]
When a Special Action is used, Warriors will execute an attack or movement that is not part of their regular skill set. Most Special Actions are capable of Countering Dangerous Attacks from Powerful Enemies.[3] These attacks can Counter forward charges,[1] aerial attacks,[4] sturdy defenses,[5] and thrown projectiles.[6] Many also have Elemental properties, which can be used against Enemies of opposing Elements.
