+It is possible to have a character to have a Buff and Debuff pair - or just a Debuff - on their character - as a permanent. However, these requests are on a case-by-case basis and one needs a good reason for having it. The most common reason is to have an Elemental Buff and Debuff, based on an elemental affinity of sorts.

The higher the level, the higher the MP cost. Since the power level of a combination is the total added power levels of its component actions, even if your action is not itself an attack but just part of one -- 'Lunge' or 'Backstep', for example -- consider assigning it a non-zero power level for what it contributes overall. A 'standard' Level 4 action breaks even on MP, those below generate MP, and those above cost MP.

A non-Buffing action with a buff effect, however, will instead temporarily boost the user for a single round (until your opponent's next reaction): for example, an attack with Physical Power Up will help you do more physical damage that turn, and one with Physical Evasion Up will help you dodge physical attacks next reaction. If a non-Buffing action is particularly empowered or aids in defense, consider attaching a buff for a one-round self-boost. '''Most Buffs cost 4 MP'''.

-Bursts give boosts at any point in combat, using the Burst Point cost. All bursts - selected per Style - give you an effect that lasts until the end of your next attack's reaction. Using a <font color="green">green Burst</font> twice in a row means the first is lost - so don't accidentally double-up. '''Bursts stack with your buffs and with different Bursts''', so it can be tactically quite advantageous to grab ones that go with your strengths. If you don't have enough BP, but your BP is positive, it'll use up OL for the remainder of the cost. This one-time OL use cannot be performed with Unlimited! or Aura. When in combat, it's generally the rule of thumb that you do not use a burst more than once per round; this applies only to the 'gray' Bursts. There can be situations, like a boss fight, where it may be desirable to use a <font color="green">green Burst</font> more than once in a round.
