Blaze Arts & Burst

Gauge threshold

Nintendo’s US product page specifies a power boost at the halfway mark of the Blaze Gauge. Filling the gauge completely triggers Burst: bonuses end and maximum HP is halved. The duration of that penalty is not established.

Blaze Arts are powerful signature abilities available to the four central heroes. They consume the user’s HP rather than weapon durability. Their risk-reward system is tied to a Blaze Gauge: increasing the gauge grants bonuses, but completely filling it triggers Burst, removes the active bonuses, and reduces the hero’s maximum HP by half.

Confirmed interaction model

1. A hero uses a Blaze Art and pays an HP cost.
2. Blaze-related use or progression is associated with a Blaze Gauge that grants power bonuses while filling.
3. If the gauge fills completely, Burst occurs.
4. Burst removes the bonuses and cuts the hero’s maximum HP in half.

The reviewed material does not clarify whether the maximum-HP reduction lasts for the battle, the match, a calendar period, or permanently. It also does not state whether healing can prevent Burst, whether the gauge can be deliberately lowered, or whether each hero has an independent gauge.
