GP

GP (short for Gear Points) is a Skell stat in Xenoblade Chronicles X that is analogous to. GP starts at 0, and increases through auto-attacks. Unlike TP, GP is only used to activate the Skell's Overdrive.

In general, most Skells have a maximum GP of 3000. This can be increased by using the ground Augment Max GP Drive, or by using the Lailah or Skells.

Unlike TP, which stays as long as the fighter does not get (or hit with attacks that drain TP), Skell GP slowly drains back to 0 if the pilot goes to the ground without the Skell. GP can also be lost if appendages are lost.

Tensifiers and Mega Tensifiers will not increase GP. However, Soul Voices which grant TP when answered will give GP to the Skell.

Uses
GP has one use only:
 * (3000 GP) Engaging Overdrive: boosts various Skell stats depending on the Skell frame used, which are displayed at the start of the Overdrive. Unlike TP, which is instantly consumed by grounded Overdrive, the GP from Overdrive is only consumed after the Overdrive ends.

Increasing GP
In general, players increase GP by successfully hitting the enemy with their auto-attacks. Each weapon indicates its GP Gain in its stats, which can be further increased by using Custom.WP-M-GP to increase the GP gain of a melee sidearm or Custom.WP-R-GP to increase the GP gain of a ranged sidearm.

Additionally, when Skell Arts are used to activate Cockpit Time, GP is slightly increased.
