The graphic explains what exactly a Limit Break is within the context ofFinal Fantasy 14, as well as how a group acquires the ability to use it. It details what game conditions cause the Limit Break gauge to increase, like healing a player at critical health or having a diverse group of jobs in a party. It even goes into detail about how much damage each type of Limit Break does, and what the best situations for each type ofDPS to use in aFinal Fantasy 14raid group.
