  4. 04

    Trigger Sweeping Stagger

    Stagger every enemy in the field to give the party bonus actions and access one Resonance attack.

Evidence, not guesswork

Every field is labeled Confirmed, Observed, Reported or Unknown. “Unknown” means Square Enix has not announced it — we do not fill gaps with speculation.
