Dusk Diver 2

MISSABLE

If you played the previous Dusk Diver, you'll recognize this move, as it's essentially the D.ARMS ability, just with a different name.

Your "Burst" is a special attack mode where your attack power, SP recovery, and Wafer drop rate are increased. Rather than SP, Burst uses BP, which is the yellow bar under the blue SP bar. Unlike the previous game however, you don't need to have max BP to be able to use Burst; you can use it any time you want as long as you have some BP (there is one exception to this*).

To activate this ability, press  + . It's important to note that unfortunately, you cannot manually end Burst. Once you activate it, it will keep going until either you run out of BP, or until the battle ends. Even using your Burst Ultimate skill doesn't end it.

When you're in a Burst, you'll notice that on the mid-left side of your screen is a Burst Gauge. This gauge increases from 100% to 180% each time you use SP Skills, perform Break Strikes or Just Dodges, or use counterattacks. The % number reflects both your attack power and Wafer drop rate. For example, when the gauge is at 160%, that means your attack power is currently at 160%, as is your Wafer drop rate.

When you reach 180%, a new ability becomes available called a Burst Ultimate. (See Show Me Your Moves! )

* Note: The only exception to this rule comes much later, towards the end in Chapter 11. Once you permanently unlock the Burst Ultimate EX ability (see Show Me Your Moves!  and TV Taught Me How to Fight ), when activating Burst at full BP, you will automatically enter the Burst EX state, which increases your max gauge level to 200%, thus enabling you to use Burst Ultimate EX when you reach 200%.
