Action Patterns

Add Pattern Button

Click this button to add another slot for an action pattern.

Skills				Select a skill. It is also necessary to set one for standard attacks, and please note that if no skills are set here, the enemy will not perform any actions during encounters.
Rating				Set the likelihood that the action pattern will activate. This value can range from 1 to 9. Among all the patterns that have had their conditions met, only the ones with the highest rating or with ratings within 2 points of that can activate. Patterns with ratings that are 1 point away have 2/3 the chance of activating, while ones that are 2 points away have 1/3 the chance.

Conditions

Always	Please note that if there is not at least one skill with the condition of "Always", there may be instances where the enemy does not perform any actions.
Turns	The action pattern can only activate on the designated turns, which are calculated using A+B*X. For example, if A=1 and B=3, the condition will be met on turns 1, 4, 7, etc.

Traits

Hit Rate	The probability that a standard attack will hit. Setting this to 0% will completely prevent them from landing. A value of 95% is recommended, but whether an attack hits or not is dependent on the enemy's Evasion Rate, so even with a Hit Rate of 100%, attacks can still miss.
Evasion Rate	The probability of evading a physical attack. A value of 5% is recommended, but try values higher than 5% for enemies that are meant to easily evade attacks.
Attack Element	Set an element for when the enemy attacks. The available elements are taken from those listed in "Edit Types".
