User:Xelias0/DissidiaKH/Assists

The concept of Assists comes from both Dissidia 012' s Assist System and Birth By Sleep' s D-Link System. Assists are allies that can be summoned in battle, but for that they need their Assist Gauge to be filled. It is filled by inputting various actions (for example, parrying an HP Attack, or dealing a very long combo...) Once the Assist is summoned, he acts as a non-controllable ally that also attacks the enemy. The Assist Gauge progressively disappears as the ally acts. Under specific conditions (similar to FFXII's Esper System) the ally may unleash a powerful attack and disappear afterward. This attack is called a "Finisher".

Assists gain levels as they are used. There are five levels. Each level grants bonuses both to the Assist (giving him a slight stat bonus and new attacks, as well as passive skills) and to the Player (by giving him special Passive Abilities)

Zack

Zack's Assist is focused on powerful, offensive physical attacks that crush barriers and assault the enemy. He lacks defensive and magical abilities (Except some weak Fire spells) but he will inflict a lot of damage.
