The glossary is a list of terms used within the context of the game that may not be readily apparent in meaning to newer players, and their definitions.
A[]
Active Skill[]
Active Skills can be activated by tapping a Character icon in battle. After performing an Active Skill, a number will appear on the Character's icon. This is the number of turns until the Skill can be used again. ※Some Characters have special visual effects when their Skills activate.
Affinity Orbs[]
There are five types of Affinity Orbs: Crimson, Emerald, Azure, Light, and Dark. Clearing Orbs of the same Affinity as the Characters in your Team will make them attack. The more Orbs you clear the more your ATK will increase. ※There is an upper limit to this increase.
In addition there are also Omni Orbs, Skull Orbs, Recovery Orbs, and Beatdown Orbs.
Affinity Orbs come in three sizes. The size determines the number of Marble strikes it takes to clear them.
- Small: Clears in 1 Marble strike
- Medium: Clears in 2 Marble strikes
- Large: Clears in 3 Marble strikes
The Marble will bounce off Medium and Large Affinity Orbs that are not cracked. Ex. The Marble will bounce the first time it strikes a Medium Orb, and break the Orb on the second strike.
Orbs that are cracked but not cleared when the Marble stops moving will have no effect.
All Clear[]
Condition fulfilled by clearing all Affinity Orbs (including Skull Orbs and Recovery Orbs) from a Field. Achieving an All Clear will guarantee a Sync Strike.
B[]
Beatdown[]
aka Special Attack, Kamikaze (Obsolete)

of the screen. When the Gauge is full, tap it to activate Beatdown. While Beatdown is active, the Marble will have increased Force.
