Target Selection​

■Target Selection​
Each skill selects its target(s) in 1 of 4 ways:​
"Random," "Stat Hierarchy," "Directly in Front," and "Adjacent."​

■Random
Targets are selected at random.​
Placement in the party formation also affects the selection,​
as there is a higher probability a character will target the enemy
directly in front of them,​ and a lower probability to target
an enemy that is further away from that position.​
If a skill prioritizes selecting a target that fulfills a certain condition,
such as skills that say, "This attack prioritizes attacking enemies
who are enhanced with [Multi-Barrier]," a target is selected at random
out of the enemies who fulfill that condition.
If there are no targets the skill can prioritize selecting
because no enemies fulfill the condition,
a target will be selected completely at random.​

■Stat Hierarchy​
Targets are selected based on the hierarchy of a specific stat,​
such as "the enemy with the highest ATK" or​
"the 3 enemies with the lowest remaining HP percentages."​
For "the enemy with the highest ATK," the target becomes the enemy​
with the highest ATK among all remaining enemies.​
For "the 3 enemies with the lowest remaining HP percentages,"​
the targets become the 3 enemies with the lowest remaining HP percentages​
among all remaining enemies.
If there are multiple characters that meet the same condition,​
the target will be selected based on their position in the party formation,​
prioritizing the character placed in the higher slot.​
If a single skill deals multiple attacks,
the stat hierarchy​ will be referenced with each individual attack.
When it comes to referenced stats,​
if a skill activates "at the start of the battle" and "at the start of the 1st turn,"
pre-increased/decreased stats will be referenced.
For other skills, each time a target selection based on a stat is made,
the in-battle stat will be referenced.
*For details on pre-increased/decreased stats, in-battle stats, etc.,
please check the "Scopes of Referenced Stats" section.

■Directly in Front
The target selected is the enemy located in the same party formation​ slot
as the character using the skill.​
If the enemy located directly in front of a character has already been defeated,​
the target will be selected from the remaining enemies at random.
If all enemies targeted by a skill
that targets multiple enemies have already been defeated,
including the enemy located directly in front of a character,
the target will be selected​ from the remaining enemies at random.

■Adjacent
The target will be selected from 1 specific character​
and the characters located on either side of them in a party formation.​
If there are no characters located on either side of the specific character,​
1 character in the party will be forcibly selected at random as a target.​

■Selection Priority​
If buffs, debuffs, etc., cause target selection conditions
to overlap with each other,​
the decision of which target will be selected will be made
based on the following conditions (in order of priority).

If a character is afflicted with Confusion​
▼
If a character uses a skill dealt to the enemy directly in front of them​,
and 1 or more enemies adjacent to that target
▼
If a character is enhanced with Stealth​
▼​
If a character uses a skill that selects a target based on stat hierarchy​
▼​
If a character is enhanced with Taunt​
▼​
If a character uses a skill that is dealt to enemies at random,​
or enemies who are selected at random out of the possible targets
prioritized for fulfilling a certain condition

Characters who are enhanced with Invisibility, or are defeated,
cannot be selected as targets.
