Talk:Gainstage

Is this just bad writing or does it mean something in relation to this game?

"Gain extra armor when gaining armor in the next five turns." This reads as a poorly written, redundant sentence ("gains armor while gaining armor"? Well, duh), but several times in the past I've come across sentences that seemed silly or superfluous to me, only to be told that there was some specific game mechanic or aspect that the sentence was trying to explain. So, before I hack this out of the article, is this trying to describe some game specific thing and just doing it poorly? --Khajidha (talk) 08:21, 27 July 2021 (EDT)

I think get what it's trying to say (I do not know this game at all), but there's probably a better way to phrase it. Seems to be saying that when you gain units of "armor", you get more than normal. It'd probably help to capitalize Armor too; when I did game guides, I felt it helped readability to Capitalize even "common" stuff if it was an acquirable (and tallied) thing. "Increased Armor gain for the next five turns" perhaps. --M Sipher (talk) 08:51, 27 July 2021 (EDT)

I would have used the ingame text, but it's misleading and doesn't explain well how the move works: "Whenever you gain armor, gain +100 armor for 5 turns. Scrap this Ability." What it actually does is start a 5-turn countdown, and if you use a move that gains your armor while the countdown is active, you get the additional armor on top of that. The additional amount depends on the Mini-Con's rank. --abates (talk) 18:14, 27 July 2021 (EDT)
