Pair is a mechanic that allows a Verse Maiden to pair with Takt and use a variety of his support actions.
Overview[]
Pursuit and Defense[]
When the Verse Maiden paired with Takt attack, you can use one of Takt's Action Counts to perform Pursuit. Takt's Pursuit, in addition to doing damage, has the effect of postponing a MAD's turn by 1, called Turn Delay. The damage dealt falls short of the Verse Maiden's but it ca be considered an effective means of landing a finishing blow or adjusting the turn order.
Also, in addition to Pursuit, Takt can also perform Pair Defense and Group Defense. Pair Defense reduces damage take when the Verse Maiden you are paired with is attacked. Group Defense reduces damage for everyone, not just the Verse Maiden you are paired with.
Pursuit and Defense both use up Takt's Action Count, and once his Action Count hits 0, they can be used anymore. However, Takt's Action Count is replenished after every battle and can also go up in battle by attacking and defeating MAD.
Paired Effect[]
When a Verse Maiden pairs with Takt, a stat-raising Paired Effect will occur. The increased stat and any other special effects vary depending on Takt's Support Type. Changing the support type can be done from the Order Change menu by pressing the triangle button.
Support Types can be increased via Takt's Disc Analysis. You can select Takt's Support Type depending on whether you want him to further a Verse Maiden's strong points or cover her weak points.
