Blue effect after cancelling an Auto-Attack with the Anchor Shot art.
Cancel Attack is a battle Mechanic in 异度神剑 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. It can be executed by using an Art, Special or Blade 开关 immediately after performing another action, canceling its animation and improving the action that is used to interrupt it. Successfully performing a cancel will result in a blue circular effect briefly appearing on the screen.

Effects
Cancelling an action will recharge the Blade Special Gauge and increase the effectiveness or damage of the action that follows after the cancel. The strength of the bonuses depends on the action that is cancelled. If an Auto-Attack is canceled, the effect will increase depending on which Auto-Attack in the chain of three was canceled. Every successful cancel will also boost the next Chain Attack's base multiplier by 1%.
Arts cannot be cancelled into 其它 Arts until the Driver unlocks a certain skill in their 牵绊 Chart.
| Action Cancelled | Damage / Heal Ratio | Special Recharge |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Auto-Attack | +10% | +5 |
| 2nd Auto-Attack | +20% | +10 |
| 3rd Auto-Attack | +30% | +15 |
| Blade Switch | +20% | +10 |
| Art | +20% | +10 |
- Cancelling into Specials provides no damage or recharge bonuses.
Cancel Chain
Successfully maintaining a chain of consecutive cancelled actions will keep the damage bonus of the starting cancel across all of the Arts within the chain. This allows for 复数部位 Arts to take advantage of the bonuses given by an Auto-Attack cancelled at the third hit, when they are cancelled into each 其它 without interruption. Cancelling into and out of Blade Switches and Vanguard Switches will allow a chain to be sustained across different Blades or characters.
Additionally, damage bonuses obtained with cancels will affect an Art until its animation concludes or another Art is used. This means that, in certain situations, an Art with a faster recharge time than its animation length might be able to sustain the damage bonus of a previous cancel by interrupting itself repeatedly, even if this does not result in further successful cancels.
Arts
Art with Cancel Attack damage boost effect
Various Arts have effects that make them deal a further 70 – 100% more damage after cancelling, such as Rex's Feral Uppercut or Lora's Path of Thorns. These are commonly available in the 以太 Cannon, Knuckle 爪击, 看起来很聪明 Twinblades, Knives, 双剑, Battle Braid and Gunknives 武器 classes. They can be identified by a blue spiked mark or symbol in the bottom of Art icons.
Since these are treated as a conditional art effect, successfully cancelling into one of these arts will also slightly increase the Party Gauge.
