ATB Charge (ATBチャージ, ATB Chāji?) is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series, appearing in the Lightning Saga. It speeds up the restoration of the user's ATB gauge.

Appearances

Final Fantasy XIII

ATB Charge first appears during the boss fight against Stiria and Nix. Nix will use the ability to recharge her ATB gauge before using her stronger attacks, Pirouette and Wheel Grind.

When Nix is used as Snow's Eidolon, she will automatically activate ATB Charge when her ATB gauge is below 60% and she is in range of her target. It causes the charge rate to increase to 1.5x the normal speed

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

ATB Charge appears as a defensive ability. It has an ATB cost of 5 and hastens the restoration of Lightning's ATB gauge, restoring 20 additional ATB per second. Her physical and magic resistances are reduced by 100% while the ability is active, and the effects persist for a second after releasing input.

ATB Charge also appears as an enemy ability used by Noel. It charges his ATB gauge and bestows Vigilance on him.
