Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga/Combo Skills

Combo skills are special skills utilized by either two or three characters at the same time. In order to use a Combo, those characters must first have particular skills set in their active lists. Once the proper combination of skills between characters is met, the skill can then be used from the Combo list in the battle menu.

All characters participating in the Combo expend the same amount of HP or MP from each of their current amounts. Using up a Combo skill consumes the same number of Press Turn icons as there are characters performing the skill. If one character is unable to use a required skill due to either being uncontrollable or incapacitated, then the Combo cannot be utilized.

The main advantages of Combo skills is that many of them are slightly more powerful than normal skills of the same name, can be accessed earlier, or provide unique and powerful skills that can't be performed any other way. Characters should experiment with skills to get access to Combos as soon as possible.

Skill groups
Certain Combo skills require a character to have any skill in a prescribed set to get access to a Combo. For instance, if a skill requires a "Megido Skill" to be set, then setting Megido, Megidola, or Megidolaon is permitted.
