* BreakMeter: Each enemy has a number below their health bar that decreases with each hit taken. If the enemy is standing on a square adjacent to Elle or charging an attack, each hit removes more of the break meter, and the enemy is broken when the number reaches zero, becoming stunned and taking increased damage for several turns. If Elle can break multiple enemies within a number of turns, she benefits from a damage bonus and more charges of her Blink. Multi-hit attacks, such as Dual Blades or point-blank Shotgun attacks, are especially effective at breaking enemies.
