Appearances
Final Fantasy XIII
Template:Sideicon ATB Charge first appears during the boss fight against Stiria and Nix. Nix will use the ability to recharge her ATB gauge before using her stronger attacks, Pirouette and Wheel Grind.
When Nix is used as Snow's Eidolon, she will automatically activate ATB Charge when her ATB gauge is below 60% and she is in range of her target. It causes the charge rate to increase to 1.5x the normal speed.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
Template:Sideicon ATB Charge appears as a defensive ability. It has an ATB cost of 5 and hastens the restoration of Lightning's ATB gauge. Her physical and magic resistances are reduced by 100% while the ability is active.
ATB Charge also appears as an enemy ability used by Noel. It charges his ATB gauge and bestows Vigilance on him.
