Press Turn

The Press Turn system is the combat system in Dx2.

Mechanics

At the start of every Player Turn, the player's team starts with Press Turn icons equal to the amount of living party members.

Most actions (using an item, demon casting a skill, etc) will consume one Press Turn icon. However, certain actions will only consume the first half of the Press Turn icon:

• Passing a demon's turn.
• Hitting an enemy's weak point.
• Landing a critical hit with a physical attack.
• Casting a skill that has Remnants.
• Using an item while the current Dx2 is Templar Dragon (due to her skill "Speed Loader").

The second half of a Press Turn is called a Bonus Turn. During a Bonus Turn, any action will consume the remainder of the Press Turn icon.

Conversely, certain unfavorable actions will consume 2 Press Turn icons instead of 1:

• Hitting an enemy's Null/Repel/Drain and failing to pierce through it (including Repel Physical and Repel Magic buffs).
• Missing an enemy with a physical attack.

Certain skills may cause the player to gain or lose Press Turns, aside from the above rules.
