As well, Kaiser's attacks can be activated by command inputs using Skill Dragon Link Dragon Link. Using command input skills will charge the Morph Gauge faster and the attack will deal more damage. Below is a list of all commands:

Skill Impact Wave Impact Wave (2nd Job): Attack -> Up Arrow + Skill Dragon Link

Skill Wing Beat Wing Beat (3rd Job): Attack -> Jump + Skill Dragon Link
