  • Lighter’s Impact increases as he consumes Morale, up to a cap.
  • Lighter does not passively gain Morale while in the Morale Eruption state.
  • Once Morale is exhausted, Lighter performs a powerful finishing blow.

  • Hitting enemies with Lighter applies Uplifting on all squad members, stacking up to 20 times. Stack duration is refreshed when triggered repeatedly.
