6th Job

Exceed Mechanic

Demon Avengers use HP for their attacks and do not have an MP resource. As well, instead of scaling off of STR like regular warriors, Demon Avengers' damage scales off of HP

Exceed

Using attacks labelled with 'Exceed' grants a stacking debuff called Overload (up to 20 stacks). At max stacks and for every 2 stacks,

Life Sap (1st Job) effectiveness will be reduced

Additionally, repeatedly using Exceed attacks in quick succession will result in entering 'Exceed Mode', increasing the Attack Speed and HP Cost of the Exceed skills. Some skills also gain increased range or increased number of hits per attack

To reset your Overload stacks, you can use

Overload Release (1st Job) to restore your HP and increase your %Final Damage based on the number of Overload stacks consumed
