Morph Gauge

Morph Gauge

Kaiser has a gauge called the Morph Gauge that when fully filled, Kaiser can transform into their ultimate form (starting from 3rd Job). The gauge can be charged by attacking enemies

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 Flame Surge (Kaiser) Flame Surge (1st Job): Attack -> Skill Dragon Link

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

Skill Gigas Wave Gigas Wave (4th Job): Attack -> Skill Gigas Wave

Skill Dragon Barrage Dragon Barrage (4th Job): -> Attack -> Left Arrow/Right Arrow + Skill Dragon Link

  • Arrow Key you press is the opposite of the direction you are facing

Skill Blade Burst Blade Burst (4th Job): -> Down Arrow + Skill Dragon Link
