Break (XC1)

Break (, Break) is a status in Xenoblade Chronicles. It indicates that the enemy has been staggered and is now suspectible to ; enemies are generally immune to Topple unless Break is applied first. This does not apply to party members; enemy attacks may cause Topple without inflicting Break first, and indeed there are no enemies that can apply Break. Aside from creating the weakness to Topple, Break by itself has no effect.

Arts that can inflict Break are pink in chain attacks. Generally, a character with a Break art cannot also have a Topple art, unless there is some extra condition involved with one of them.
