A6A0 · Mortal Responsibility
Kitazato has 2 modes, Doctor and Ripper, and the properties of his skills change depending on the mode. He starts in Doctor mode. Doctor: Each time Kitazato deals damage with a skill, there is a 70% chance to inflict 1 Bleed stack on the target. When a foe with Bleed is defeated, its Bleed stacks are passed on to the foe with the highest HP. He can also spend SP to use Physical skills. Ripper: When Kitazato uses a skill, inflict 1 Rending stack for every 3 Bleed stacks on the target. Bleed: Each turn, deal Almighty damage equal to 1% of the target's max HP + Physical damage equal to 4% of Kitazato's Attack. This effect lasts for 4 turns and stacks up to 10 times. Rending: Deal Physical damage based on Kitazato's Attack and Nightfall's skill level (this damage cannot deal critical hits or Down Point damage).
A1 · Abdominal Incisions
In Doctor mode, the first time skill damage is dealt to each foe, inflict 5 more Bleed stacks on the target. In Ripper mode, when using a skill on a foe, increase that skill's damage based on the number of debuffs on the target. When they are inflicted with 10 or more debuffs, maximize this effect and increase skill damage up to 80%. Also, multiply Bleed's Almighty damage by 1.5.
A2 · Forbidden Transfusion
