1. Idle

Default motion: ✓ (Mandatory)

This motion is played when the character is in the idle phase. However, the idle motion will be overridden by Dead motion when the character is dead. Pinch motion when the character is at low HP. Or state motion when the character is under influence of a certain state. At the start of the battle, the starting index of the idle motion will be randomized, thus you will not always start at the beginning of the animation sequence.

2. Damaged

Default motion: ✓ (Mandatory)

This motion will be automatically played when the battler took damage. It returns to idle motion afterward.

3. Crisis

Default motion: ✓ (Mandatory)

This motion will override the idle motion when the character is at low HP (25% or below).

4. Evade

Default motion: ✓ (Mandatory)

This motion will be automatically played when the character successfully evades an attack.

5. Post Action

Default motion: ✓ (Mandatory)

This motion will be automatically played after the character does an action (skill action or item). This motion is recommended to use to make the character return to its home position.

This motion will override the idle motion when the character is dead.

This motion will be played when the party members are successfully escaped. Only valid for actors.

9. Skill Action

13. State-based

Default motion: X

This motion will override the idle motion and take the highest priority (after dead) when the character is under influence of a state and the state is tagged to have a custom idle motion.

Overriding Motion

By default, all actors and enemies alike are using the same default motion. However, at some point, you may want to make a certain character has a unique idle sequence. Hence you need to override the default setting for some particular characters.
