Full Auto

Full Auto is a game setting that allows party members to automatically use certain skills before attacking, instead of only performing one-foe attacks and charge attacks (Semi Auto).

While Auto is active, a small oval button (yellow for Full, blue for Semi) will appear on the bottom left side of the battle interface. Clicking on it toggles Auto on and off. Auto can also be toggled from the battle loading screen; see the Related Settings section.

Skills in Full Auto

Understanding which skills will or won't be used is key to assembling Full Auto teams.

Border Color	Yellow	Blue	Red	Green	Purple
Example
Used in FA?	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No

Other reasons why a skill is skipped in Full Auto:

• The skill has a 0-turn cooldown
• It requires selecting an ally (e.g. Andira's  Sage of EternityGrant an ally Shield (2500)Next ATK received will be ineffective for a fixed amount
  Strength: 2500Duration: 3 turns and Full Hostility100% chance to be targeted by one-ally attacks (Can't be removed)
  Duration: 1 turn Full hostility has the same properties as Substitute, but has lower targeting priority than Substitute.
  At level 75:
  Shield endurance increased to Shield (3500)Next ATK received will be ineffective for a fixed amount
  Strength: 3500Duration: 3 turns.
  At level 90:
  Shield endurance further increased to Shield (4000)Next ATK received will be ineffective for a fixed amount
  Strength: 4000Duration: Indefinite and now has indefinite duration.

  (Bonus Wind DMG ends upon taking damage).)
• A prerequisite has not been met (e.g. Meteon (Holiday)'s  Nitro BoostGain Nitro BoostDeals triple attacks / Critical hit rate and skill DMG specs are boosted / Immune to debuffs (Can't be removed)
  Duration: 5 turns.
  (Consumes 2 CometLvl rises upon using charge attack (Max: 2 / Can't be removed)
  lvls.))

During battle, skills are used in order of Yellow > Blue > Red, from left to right.

You cannot set a custom skill order, but you can manually select skills to prioritize them in the skill queue even while Full Auto is on. Likewise, summon calls are not used by Full Auto, but they can manually queued. You can also manually select Attack to start the attack phase once the queue is empty; skills that were not manually queued will not be used until the next turn.

Note that skills with no cooldown upon cast, such as Siegfried's  DeliriumClear a foe's charge diamonds. Gain Charge Bar +100%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 100%
Strength: 100%.

Duration: 2 turns.
(Can't recast.), are not the same as 0-turn cooldown skills. Skills with no cooldown cannot be recast after one use, but they will still be used in Full Auto when possible.

Pre-Battle Auto Attack

Pre-Battle Auto Attack (One-Touch Auto): Allows players to toggle auto on/off during battle loading and transition screens. Turning this on is extremely useful for farming raids that don't rely on honors contribution. (Joining raids to land a single hit then moving onto another raid is known among players as "leeching" or "wanpan," short for "one-punch.")

Turning on Pre-Battle Auto Attack:

1. Go to Quest Settings
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom for Pre-Battle Auto Attack
3. Select One-Touch

Battle Screen Settings: These settings adjust what is displayed on the battle screen. Notably, during the start of the turn, the Elements diagram (which is displayed by default) takes up the space where the Auto button is during the attack phase, so hiding the Elements diagram can be useful in case you miss Pre-Battle Auto Attack or want to turn off Auto Attack.

Change battle screen settings (applied to all battles):

1. Enter any quest and click on the upper-right Menu button
2. Click on Screen and turn off Elements Diagram, then click Save Changes

Optimizing for Full Auto

Since the introduction of Full Auto, building Full Auto teams has become a common point of discussion among players, particularly when it comes to farming repetitive events such as Unite and Fight or monthly story events.

There are two main types of Full Auto teams:

• One-Turn Kill (OTK), which focuses on building a team that can clear battles in as little time as possible.
• Solo optimization, which focuses on clearing more difficult content while leaving the game on Full Auto.

One-Turn Kill

Full Auto One-Turn Kill teams build around getting enough damage to kill the enemy in one turn while using as few skills as possible. Fewer skills means less skill animations, thus less time spent between entering the quest and reaching the victory screen.

Because Full Auto will use all available skills, this creates a niche for characters that will use less skills—and creates situations where certain characters do not want their skill fate episodes cleared to maintain maximum Full Auto OTK optimality. (For example: Tsubasa's  Going KamikazeAll allies gain Guaranteed DAGuaranteed double attack regardless of Double Attack Lowered debuffs
Duration: 2 turns and 20% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted
Strength: 20%Duration: 2 turns.
(Consumes 20% of charge bar.) provides no benefit for OTK, costs 20% charge bar, and will always be used by Full Auto.)

Common damage thresholds for events

Quest	Boss HP
Story Events, Very Hard (Raid)	~6,000,000HP varies with each event, but generally stays around this number
Story Events, Extreme (Raid)	~10,000,000HP varies with each event, but generally stays around this number
Unite and Fight, Extreme	15,555,555
Unite and Fight, Extreme+	22,000,000

Trial Battles are a useful way to test your OTK teams. Extreme Lignoid+ is best for EX+ OTK teams, while the other Lignoids are useful for seeing your party's maximum one-turn damage.

Common OTK Team Setups

The following are common recommendations, but are not representative of all OTK setups. The "ideal" OTK team also varies based on element and the player's main weapon availability.

Most players will adjust their OTK teams for the content they're fighting. It's easier to cut corners on story event raids, which have less HP, and get away with not capping DEF Down (cutting skills like Miserable Mist) and using SR/R characters that have less Full Auto-able skills. Unite and Fight raids, however, have much less leeway depending on the player's grid.

Mechanic
Explanation	Build for pre-HL players, or those who don't have a proper setup for Chrysaor teams. Typically inferior in terms of damage output, but serves as a useful starting point while players become stronger. Relic Buster is very strong class and alternative to Mechanic.
Subskill(s)	Miserable MistInflict 25% ATK DownATK is lowered Strength: 25%Base Accuracy: 80%Duration: 180 secondsStacking: Dual and 25% DEF DownDEF is lowered Strength: 25%Base Accuracy: 80%Duration: 180 secondsStacking: Dual on all foes. or none, depending on the enemy
Main Weapon	Any on-element Gun
Notable Main/Support Summons	None (use best available summon—see Basic Grids for common options)
Notes	Requires Energy Maneuver as the Action Part for 100% charge bar on Turn 1.

Chrysaor
Explanation	Typical option for HL players, focusing on large charge attack damage and MC's ability to C.A. twice in one turn thanks to C.A. ReactivationCharge attack reactivates .
Subskill(s)	Dual ArtsGain C.A. ReactivationCharge attack reactivates Duration: 2 turns. (Can only be used when an auxiliary weaponA class specialty weapon of the same element as the main weapon, equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section is equipped.) +  Aurum Flow300% elemental damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~630,000).

Main Weapon	Main Weapon: Flex Auxiliary Weapon: Sabre/Katana that grants party-wide Charge Bar +Instantly boosts Charge Bar by on C.A. OR any weapon that increases damage output in some way (such as party-wide buffs or bonus damage on C.A.)
Notable Main/Support Summons	HuanglongMain Aura50% boost to all Elemental ATK. All allies start battle with +30% charge bar. 30% boost to Charge Attack damage. (3★) for an extra 30% charge bar at battle start
Notes	Requires the crew skill Rallying Gong Lv3 (+30% charge bar at battle start), or manually using Huanglong's call for Instant Charge. Party composition depends on your auxiliary's charge attack effect: If it grants party-wide charge bar, you won't need any other Charge Boosts. (MC will grant 40% charge bar to the rest of the party.) If it doesn't, you will need some other form(s) of Charge Boost so that second position has at least 80% charge bar at the start of the attack phase, third position has at least 70%, and fourth position has at least 60%.

Solo

Full Auto Solo teams are designed to be able to tackle harder content alone, with minimal input from the player. These teams are more complex to build, as the player has to consider the content the team is being brought to; whether things like DelayReduce a foe's filled charge diamonds by 1
, Dispel, or healing will be needed and how frequently, what kinds of gimmicks the boss has, MC's class availability based on main weapon options, etc.
