In Campaign[ | ]
Momentum[ | ]
It is represented by a number in the top center of the screen. It dictates how long a Rampage is sustained. As long as Momentum stays above 0, battle victories will accumulate Rampage Marks. But if all Momentum is lost, a Rampage must end and restart.
- Gaining Momentum
- Momentum is increased when a battle is won
- On lower difficulties, Taurox may gain
- Losing Momentum
- Losing a battle
- Retreating from a battle
- Some is lost at the end of a turn, and when a Rampage ends
- Activating Taurox's ability to replenish movement range.
Replenish Taurox's Movement Range[ | ]
Taurox can spend 2 Momentum to replenish his movement range back to 100%. This allows him to continuously move and fight, provided he doesn't run out of Momentum (for instance by losing too many battles, or not having enough enemies around to fight).
- A Harsh Rampage must be completed before this ability unlocks.
- It is accessed via a small button near his character portrait in the bottom left of the screen.
Taurox's Rampage[ | ]
The Rampage Bar and potential rewards can be viewed in the Taurox's Rampage panel, accessed by clicking in the top center of the screen.
- As Taurox wins battles he earns Rampage Marks, which fill up his Rampage Bar.
- As the Rampage bar fills, it passes through thresholds offering choices of rewards for the player to claim.
- Rampage Marks continually accumulate until the Rampage bar is filled and the final gifts are claimed, upon which a new Rampage begins.
- If Momentum ever reaches zero, the Rampage Bar empties completely.
