The following is a guide to everything centered around the use & usefulness of Rengekis:
Rengeki
Rengeki is a special branch of battle-used skills. Rengekis are different from regular skills in two ways:
(1) Most generic skills attack the enemy, but Rengekis can have various effects.
(2) Rengekis do not consume SP.
The skill given to you when you first create your PC is your first Rengeki.
As stated above, Rengekis do not consume SP. Therefore, their usage is limited. Regular skills can be used multiple times in battle, but Rengekis can only be used once per battle.
Two additional rules on Rengeki usage are:
(1) Rengekis cannot be used on your first turn. You may only use a regular attack/battle skill on the first turn, then a Rengeki on any turn afterwards.
(2) Rengekis cannot be used consecutively. If you use a Rengeki one turn, you cannot use another Rengeki the following turn. You must wait 2 turns before using another Rengeki.
Skill Levels
Skill levels are levels that reflect how well you are at using weapon skills/spells and Rengekis. They're also the key to learning additional Rengekis. To learn new Rengekis, simply use the weapon skills/spells and Rengekis you currently know. For each weapon skill or weapon spell you use, you gain 1 skill EXP point. For each Rengeki you use, you gain 2 skill EXP points. Upon gaining 20 skill EXP points, you improve by 1 skill level. You learn 1 new Rengeki at each of the following skill level intervals: 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21, 24, 27, 29, 32, 34, 37, 40, 42, 45, 48, and 50 – for a grand total of 20 Rengekis.
The following bonuses are also granted at the corresponding skill levels:
Skill Level 10 = can use a Rengeki on the first turn
Skill Level 20 = default attack formula changes to ATK x2.5 - DEF = damage
Skill Level 30 = can use Rengekis consecutively
Skill Level 40 = default attack formula changes to ATK x3.5 - DEF = damage
Skill Level 50 = can use each Rengeki twice per battle
Rengeki Finish
Another bonus in battle that the Rengeki grants is the Rengeki Finish. This is when an enemy's HP falls to zero and the battle ends due to a Rengeki.
When an enemy is defeated with a Rengeki, triggering the end of the battle, this is known as a Rengeki Finish. Not only does this increase the Base EXP everyone receives by 20%, but the user of the Rengeki also receives 3 skill EXP points for the Rengeki used to end the battle.
