Next, there were AOSBs (Arcane Overflow Soul Breaks), which dealt a sequence of normal hits plus one overflow hit, or three overflow hits in a row, but were usable only once per battle. And there was much rejoicing.
Now, though, we have the successor to these, the Limit Break Overflow Soul Break. This one uses a party-wide meter, and deals overflow damage based on the number of gauge charges consumed. Like AOSBs, this can be used once per fight. Like Syncs, it can be honed. And there was much salt rejoicing.
