Overview
What to consider beyond raw direct damage.
How it works
Certain moves support combat through secondary effects or changes in how opponents behave. In a real-time system, the best choice depends on the exact move and how reliably it connects.
How to play
Identify what the in-game move description actually says before using it as a central plan. Balance control options with reliable damage and defensive positioning.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not assume a classic turn-based status duration or effect is identical in Z-A.

Practice exercise
Choose one familiar wild encounter and use the selected move system in isolation. Record whether your attacks connect, whether you survive counterattacks and when cooldowns limit your options.
