Focus Gauge

The Focus Gauge is a gameplay element exclusive to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Its shape resembles the Drive Gauge, and is located to the left of the character's portrait on the bottom right corner of the screen. The more focus Terra, Aqua, and Ventus have, the more time they have to lock-on for their Shotlock. The gauge can be refilled by hitting enemies, much like the Drive Gauge, and by using Ethers. It can also be filled with the Focus Block and Focus Barrier commands, where the gauge is filled on successful blocking of enemy attacks, and the Damage Syphon ability, where the gauge is filled when taking damage from enemy attacks.
