Banding (Alt: Banding) is a 3^nd class supportive skill available as Royal Guard.

Effect

Places a buff on the user. If there is another or more Royal Guards in a 7x7 area around the user with this buff active, applies several effects on all Banding Guards. Maintaining this skill active will drain SP.

Level	ATK Increase	DEF Increase	Base Chance of Effect	Effect Duration	SP Drain	SP Cost

3	40	8	15%	6s	4 / 5s	42
4	50	9	20%	8s	3 / 5s	48
5	60	10	25%	10s	2 / 5s	54

Chance of Effect = [Base_Chance_of_Effect + (BaseLv ÷ 5) − (Target_AGI ÷ 10)]%

List of effects

• Increases Physical Attack for each Banding Guard.
• Increases Physical Defense for each Banding Guard.
• Hastens HP Recovery by 50%.
• Banding Guards will share the same average Max HP.
• Approaching enemies may be overawed, which is a debuff that decreases Movement Speed by 90%.
• Allows the use of Genesis Ray and Hesperus Lit.

Notes

• The Overawe debuff can be applied even if the Royal Guard is by themselves with this skill active.
• Though the user is included towards the total attack and defense increase, they will not gain any attack or defense until they are near other Royal Guards with this skill active.
• This skill can be canceled manually by casting a second time.
• The HP of all Royal Guards will be rounded down to the lowest HP Royal Guard in the team.
