“In some battles, groups of enemies may be lead by a leader. By defeating this single foe, you can overpower the remaining ones and force them to retreat.”

—Tutorials, Overpowering Enemies

Overpowering Enemies

Certain battles have a combination of enemies in which one acts as the "Leader" and the rest act as "Minions". During these cases, all "Minions" can be defeated at once if the "Leader" is defeated at first. The "Minions" are defeated by what the game calls an "Overpower".

The leader will be indicated by a small Flag icon next to their HP and Charge Gauges.

When an "Overpower" occurs, all enemies disappear from the battlefield regardless of their remaining HP. By doing this, you can easily defeat groups of enemies that would normally be troublesome for the player. However, you don't get experience points nor item drops from the "Minions" defeated by the "Overpower".

Obstacles

Immovable obstacles such as Table, Candlestands and Boulders can appear in battle along with enemies. Since these obstacles are not enemies, you can win the battle by defeating the other enemies without destroying them. However, there are situations where movement is restricted by these obstacles and some in which the enemy cannot be attacked unless obstacles are destroyed.
