Added by MoocowisiBattle Abilities are a major part of the battle mechanics in Vagrant Story and are assigned to the 
,

buttons. Whenever Ashley attacks an enemy or vice versa, an exclamation point appears above his head. If a Battle Ability is activated just as the exclamation point appears, Ashley will use a Chain Ability if attacking or a Defense Ability if defending. Successive uses of Battle Abilities will drive Ashley's Risk status up, increasing the chance of Critical Hits at the cost of accuracy.
