Special Attack
Abilities are the special attacks attached to each medal. These abilities are utilized by dragging the medal from the corner into combat. Abilities are either single target or area of effect, referring to the number of enemies struck by the attack, and all abilities have a gauge cost which must be paid to execute the attack.
The number of attacks made by abilities tends to increase as the medal increases in power. For example, Yuna's Ability has one attack at 1★ and 2★, two attacks at 3★, 4★ and 5★, and three attacks at 6★.
Some abilities increase in power if certain requirements are met. For example, Tifa's Ability increases in power if used against an enemy inflicted with the Sleep status, and Zack's Ability increases in power when the player's HP is low.
