DFFOO Traits Translated!


With the addition of Shinryu Era, OO provides a list of "Traits" a character has which can be seen as roles they fill. However some of the wording may be weird so we'll translate some of them here and the Roles Page! (Disclaimer: not every trait listed in OO has a dedicated role section on the Roles Page).

Main Stats

Almost all characters want ATK or BRV DMG up for stealing BRV, both are very effective!


Max BRV (mBRV) and Overflow (OF) is useful for units that deal split AoE HP DMG or if a unit batteries based on mBRV.

Delay & Break Order

Notice the turn order, B is being targeted by Aranea, and Rem has the turn after B.

As you can see, Aranea's delay/break skill pushes B back one turn, allowing Rem to steal B's turn spot!

Delay & Break Order (continued)

Enchant & Imperil (Weak Damage)


Launch AKA Knock Back/Chase

BRV Retain and mBRV Floor (Community terms)

Items, where to find them and how to use them

Gems

Main commodity in the game for acquiring weapons via Multi Draw on Banners. Can also be used to purchase 2x books (Items, Gil or EXP), Gear Slots (up to 900) and 4* Armor.

Multi-Draw Ticket

Substitute for 5000 Gems to be used when pulling on banners. Provides 10 pulls +1 extra item with increased rates on Gold and above rarity items. 

Ticket

Item used to do a single pull on a Draw Banner to acquire weapons. No guarantees, yet is an effective way to acquire weapons. 

G Token

20 acquired per Multi Draw on a Draw Banner. 

Enhancement Points 

Used to upgrade character's skills, notably the skill from their LD weapon. 5,000 are needed for skill 1, skill 2, and EX+ combined, while the LD skill takes 3,000 to improve. (LD is always the priority). Force Enhancement Passives will require 15K Enhancement points to fully max out for a character; the budget option is to only upgrade to passive 23 and only get the straight line down LD board.

Burst Power Token

50 tokens allows the purchase of any previously released BT weapon from the BT Token exchange. These are some of the rarest items in the game and should be used very wisely.

EX Power Token

10 tokens allows the purchase of any protagonist's EX weapon from the EX Power Token exchange. These are rare tokens earned from Dimension's End: Order or via very special campaigns, use wisely. If desperate, 30 daily hunt tokens can purchase 1 EX Power Token.

Power Token

Also called Weapon Tokens (WT), one of the rarer items. Allows you to purchase 515cp (10 tokens) and 35cp (25 tokens) weapons for any character ever released from the Power Token Exchange in the Tokens Exchange menu.  It is recommended to only use WT to buy your first copy of a weapon (and only if you already have that character's LD & EX). Expect to have ~100+ WT saved before using them to buy duplicate weapons.

Armor Token

Referred to as AT, much more common than Power Tokens. Allows you to purchase 5armor for any character ever released from the Armor Token Exchange in the Tokens Exchange menu. Remember that Lost Chapters and Character Events give 2 armors for free, saving 10 armor tokens!

High Guard Armor Token

20 tokens allows the purchase of any High Guard Armor, duplicates are not needed. There are 5 types of armor, and the best possible advice is: If you are using a character frequently for Lv200+ content, then you should buy their High Guard Armor.

Power Stone 

Referred to as PS or PP (Power Piece). Used to Limit Break a weapon, 4 power stones = 1 Limit Break. You can sell a 5weapon for 1 power stone, but this is only advised if you have a Red Check Mark on the weapon. Non-EX 6weapons (blue background) can be sold for 4 power stones and is a better option as you permanently unlock the weapon's passive so that your character can equip it while wielding a better weapon, like their EX.

High Power Stone 

Referred to as HPS or HPP (Power Piece). Used to Limit Break a Force Weapon, 4 high power stones = 1 Limit Break, but 1 high power stone = 20 regular power stone. 

Power Orbs

with varying levels of strength

4★ and above are best for leveling, red for weapons, and blue for armor. Can be used to level up your weapons.

Ruin's Mysteries: Fragment, Book, Adamantine Nugget, Ingot

20 Fragments = 1 Book & 20 Nuggets = 1 Ingot. Early on, they are very rare, use wisely! Use Books to realize your EX weapons to their + variant, and use Ingots to limit break the EX+ weapon and add significant power to the weapons.

Refuge's Mysteries: Fragment, Book, Adamantine Nugget, Ingot

20 Fragments = 1 Book & 20 Nuggets = 1 Ingot. Early on, they are less rare, but still use wisely! Use Books to realize your HG2 Armors to their + variant, and use ingots to limit break the + armor and basically add more defense & CP space to your character, so that you can equip more passives.

Refuge's Miracles: Fragment, Book, Adamantine Nugget, Ingot

20 Fragments = 1 Book & 20 Nuggets = 1 Ingot. VERY rare, use wisely! Use Books to realize your High Guard Armors (aka Lufenia Armor or HA, purchased from the High Guard Token Exchange using the purple tokens) to their + variant, and use ingots to limit break the + HA and basically increase self or party BRV & HP damage limits, as well as add more CP space.

Ruin's Miracles: Fragment, Book, Adamantine Nugget, Ingot

(See BT+ Guide for more info and where to get "easy" pages)

20 Fragments = 1 Book & 20 Nuggets = 1 Ingot. EXTREMELY rare, use only when *absolutely* certain! Use Books to realize your BT weapons to their + variant, and use ingots to limit break the BT+ to unlock extremely powerful abilities

BT+ 0/3 is fine, as it will give you an ingot to use on another BT weapon. But note:

BT+ 0/3 or BT+ 3/3, NEVER BT+ 1/3 or 2/3. NO EXCEPTIONS

Force Stones and Force Stone Fragments

These are used to unlock Force Enhancement Levels (3 Force Stones OR 60 Force Stone Fragments for all 30 Levels)

Following / Friend icon

Visible via the Friends menu, allows you to see who you are following, who is following you, and who your friends are (both). You can follow people after a co-op quest ends, or random people that appear in your Friend Support list when before starting a quest.

Link Bell

An item used to host co-op quests by selecting Group from an applicable co-op quest. Regenerates 1 bell every 2 hours.

Dissidia Points (DP)

Points which allow the purchase of various items from the Dissidia Shop accessible via the Home Screen. The shop offers the purchase of 1 free powerstone and 1 elite hunt permit weekly, don't miss it

Hunt Permit

Allows you to fight a special enemy for Hunt Tokens. 1 Elite Hunt Ticket can be purchased from the Dissidia Shop with Dissidia Points weekly. Use Hunt Tokens to buy Adamantite Nuggets (most important), tickets (next most important), or EX tokens (important but only if the others are in healthy supply).

Gil

In-game currency with no monetary value. Used for leveling up gear, refining items, etc. 

Stamina Potion

Potion which refreshes your Stamina Points (SP) in the World of Illusions. Recommended not to use until you are Rank 200 and have 200 SP. 

Chocobo Down / Feather / Tail

Items in increasing order of strength that can be used to grant EXP to your characters (used to quickly level up your characters). 

Bloom Token / Fragments

Bloom Tokens can be used in the Bloom Token Exchange to obtain a character's Bloom Stone. 60 Fragments can be used to limit break a Bloom Stone. The Bloom Stone, at max level, powers up your Additional Ability, which is unlocked when your character reaches Crystal Strength 65. 

Book / Tome of Treasure

Increases the amount of items dropped from quests for 15 minutes. Tomes increase the number by 3x, Books by 2x. Tomes can only be purchased for Gems via the Item Shop. Books can be obtained via daily login.

Gear Slots

Purchasable from the item shop, 5 slots for 100 gems, up to a max of 900 extra slots. One of the best quality of life additions to the game, especially for anyone that does even a little bit of farming! We recommend upgrading to 400 slots and re-evaluating if you need more.

High Eidoja (Artifacts)

Artifact tokens that can be enhanced from Enhancement menu to grant your characters randomly generated stat boosts that can be equipped as Artifact Passives.

Shard / Crystal / Cluster / High Shard / High Crystal / High Cluster

Various tiers of crystals (each available in all 6 crystal colors). 

Sparkles

Each Crystal Color has it's own Sparkle color to boost your units

Summon Materials!

When leveling up Summons, you need the appropriate materials and gil to level them up. Here are the tiers of materials needed and where to farm them!

Anima / Origin Summon Materials & Affinity Spirit

Heatra, Icen, Spark, Aqua, Volatile, Holy, Affinity, Funnel, Draken

Materials to level summons from Level 20 to 50.
