Desperation Attack

From Final Fantasy Wiki

A Desperation Attack is a special attack unique to each character except Gau and Umaro, in Final Fantasy VI. It is the precursor to the Limit Break mechanism used in Final Fantasy VII, and all other other Final Fantasy games since. When a character is in Critical Status, there is a 1 in 16 chance that the character will perform this move when he or she uses the Fight command. A character would automatically enter Critical Status when their HP drops to 1/20 of their max. It is important to note that Strago Magus and Gogo can achieve Critical Status without losing their HP. If the enemy has 1/20 of its max HP remaining, Strago and Gogo can use Rippler to retrieve it (see Rippler Bug for more information). All Desperation Attacks are unblockable and ignores defense. Each character's Desperation Attack is as follows:
