超频 (XCX)

超频s are battle Mechanic in 异度神剑X. They are also known as OC Gears or Over Clocking Gears in the Japanese version. They are powerful tools for the party, allowing characters to greatly increase their fighting ability. 超频 battle Mechanic are comparable to Chain Attacks in 异度神剑, although there is no time break involved, nor blue lines connecting the party members shown on the screen. During Doll battles, 超频 can also be activated.

Activating an 超频 consumes 3000 TP, similar to the reanimation of an ally. The gauge is filled by multiplying the attacks in a limited time, both to reduce the cooldown of the arts, but also to trigger Tertiary Cooldown, greatly augmenting effects from Arts that increase damage at higher cooldowns. They increase the arts' power by 400%, being more efficient than the Secondary Cooldown which increase arts' power by 250%.

Some 灵魂之音 types are allocated to 超频, in white, and can be attributed to allies.

When an 超频 is activated, the track "Wir fliegen" plays until 超频 is finished.

超频 usage

An example of a full Tension gauge with 3000 TP

Once 第5章 of the main story is completed, the party will learn the 超频. This powerful technique can greatly improve the combat capabilities during a short period by spending 3000 TP.

When enabled, the art cooldown time (required between each use) is significantly reduced, making possible to use them one after the 其它. In addition, it is possible to charge for a third time to activate the powerful Tertiary Cooldown, which is specific to the 超频. As the accumulated TP can be carried over to the next battle, if the party has trouble against a Boss or a 珍稀种 , it is a good alternative to accumulate 3000 TP in preparation.

超频计数值: The color changes depending on the arts used.

超频 Time: The gauge, to the right of the counter, is reduced little by little, and the 超频 will end when it comes to zero. It can be extended with combinations or by accumulating 3000 TP while in 超频 and initiating it a获得 from the 超频计数值.

超频 Mechanic during battle

计数器效果: By using same type arts one after the 其它, for example two Ranged Arts (yellow twice) or two Melee Arts (orange twice), each hit increases the counter by 1. Some particular effects can be obtained such as "超频时间延长", "超级伤害", and "攻击获得TP" depending on the counter number.

颜色连击: By changing the 超频计数值 color in a certain order (for example from 黄色 (远程) to green (support)), some particular effects can be obtained such as "双重计数", "部位伤害提高", "HP回复" and "EXP奖励".
- 颜色奖励: These occur when an art of a certain color/type is used regardless of the color of the counter
  - ◉ 绿色 (增益): 超频延长 .05 秒 x 计数值
  - ◉ 蓝色 (光环): 超频延长 .1 秒 x 计数值
  - ◉ 紫色 (减益): 获得 10 tp x 计数值每一击
- 颜色组合: These occur when the counter is a certain color and an art of a specific color is used. The effect is applied to the art used.
  - 白色: When a Reflect, Spike, or DoT effect is triggered before entering 超频, when 超频 is activated, each tick will contribute to the counter until a normal art is used.
  - ◉ 黄色 (远程) → ◉ 橙色 (近战) and ◉ 橙色 → ◉ 黄色:
    Bad: 超频计数值 does not increase and the damage bonus of the 超频 is negated.
  - ◉ 蓝色 (光环) → ◉ 绿色 (增益):
    10% HP回复
  - ◉ 蓝色 (光环) → ◉ 紫色 (减益):
    减益时间增加 25%

    超频计数值增加 2x 打击数(hits)
  - ◉ 紫色 (减益) → ◉ 橙色 (近战) or ◉ 黄色 (远程):
    部位伤害提高 by 50%
  - ◉ 橙色 (近战) → ◉ 橙色 → ◉ Orange:
    增加 10% EXP, 最高可达 +200%
  - ◉ 黄色 (远程) → ◉ 黄色 → ◉ 黄色:
    增加 10% 职业EXP, 最高可达 +200%

Party Chain: If the allies accumulate 3000 TP while the playable character's 超频 is activated, their own 超频 can also be activated. By simultaneously using 复数部位 characters' 超频, some special effects can be obtained. These effects are:
- 2 party members in Overdrive: +50% of Soul Voices' activation rate.
- 3 party members in Overdrive: 获得 50 TP 每一击 of an art.
- 4 party members in Overdrive: The whole party gets a special buff called "Super Armor" which cuts all damage in half and grants immunity to mobility debuffs such as 破防, 倒地, 击退, 吹飞, and 畏惧.

Restart: By reaching 3000 TP while using 超频, it is possible to reactivate it in order to extend the 超频 Time.
Cooldown: Cooldown during 超频 = Cooldown / (2.5 + 0.025*计数值) = Cooldown / 5.0 at MAX 计数值.

Doll 超频

Dolls are also capable of using 超频. Similarly to ground battle, it can be activated when the Doll has 3000 GP. During a Doll 超频, no Doll 燃料 is consumed, and various effects are temporarily granted depending on the Doll Frame, such as HP Regeneration, Damage Reflection, 回避提高, or Damage Up.

Doll 超频 is 分裂 into several "rounds”, Upon activating 超频, the first round begins immediately, lasting for 15 seconds. All subsequent rounds only last for 13 seconds. Doll 超频 can last for a maximum of 6 rounds.

The first two rounds have a 100% chance to be extended to the next. The third round has a base 50% chance to continue into the fourth round. After that, the base chance to extend is 0%.

The chance of a round being extended is affected by the total number of Cockpits that have occurred during the current activation of 超频, and by 超频持续几率提高芯片.

Each Cockpit mode that has occurred during the 超频 increases the chance for extensions by 20%, which accumulates throughout the 超频 (i.e. if you have had two Cockpit modes during the first two rounds, the base 50% chance to continue into round three is increased to 90%). 超频持续几率提高 augments/traits act in the same way, increasing the base chance of extension by their given percentage.

The chances of activating Cockpit mode on each art usage vary between each round, alternating between 30% and 20% per round, starting with 30% on round one.
