Players may choose to respond with a more powerful 'Emergency Defense' as well. Using the '''>edefense''' command in place of '''>defend''', their defense gains a Massive bonus against the attack, but in exchange, they lose 3 Drive per level of the attack that they defend against. The Drive cost of an Emergency Defense is ''intentionally'' higher than a strictly balanced value; it is meant to be used when a decisive defensive maneuver is truly necessary.

'''4: Pushes:''' Pushes are various action modifiers and special moves that can be activated by spending Hype. They encompass effects such as buffs, debuffs, Drive gain and drain, healing, damage reduction, super attacks, etc. Any Push can be activated at any time, including right before an attack or defense. Some Pushes have an instantaneous effect and kick in immediately, announcing their result. Most Pushes are instead loaded into a queue, where they will trigger once an attack/defense exchange is resolved. Queuing up more Pushes than you have Hype will result in Pushes at the end of the list failing to activate. Using these Pushes creates a visible notification, which will tell anyone in the room that you have used one, but most don't name the specific Push itself. This allows players to anticipate which attacks and defenses are the most heavily enhanced, without divulging all details. The command '''>push/list''' displays the complete list of Pushes, their effects, and their associated Hype cost. To activate one, the command is '''>push <name>/<cost>''', sometimes followed with '''=<option>''' in the case of Buff and Debuff.<br>

'''5: Aid:''' Aid actions are the primary means by which players can lend support to one another in combat when working as a team. Aid commands range from levels 1-5 just like attacks, but cost no Drive to use, and can be used any time, as many times as a player wishes. Using the '''>aid <name>/<level>:<stat>''' command grants the designated ally a number of stacking ''Moderate'' bonuses to the chosen stat equal to the aid's level. In exchange, the user takes on an equal number of stacking ''Moderate'' penalties to the ''sister'' stat. ex. An aid of 3:Power grants an ally 3 stacks of Power bonus, but the user takes on 3 stacks of Precision penalty. A number of stacks are ''applied to and consumed by'' the attacks or defenses the player makes equal to the attack's level. Light attacks will be less affected by, and take longer to consume, a bonus or penalty compared to Heavy attacks, and so on. A player can have any number of Aid stacks at once.

'''EX: Support Actions:''' Some Archetypes have the ability to further support and empower teammates in battle. These Archetypes have access to the >support command, which makes an ally the recipient of that Archetype's special Support Action benefits. If no target is selected, the benefits of '''>support''' are applied to your own character until one is. The Support target can be changed in battle, but cannot be changed a second time until the character has attacked and defended again; it isn't possible to cycle through every single character in a Party to give them all the benefit of a Support Action in the same turn.<br>

'''>strain/keeps''' switches a character to "Playing for Keeps" mode. It ''upgrades a character's Weight class'' by one step, slightly increases the random accuracy and damage of their attacks, and slightly decreases the random accuracy and damage of attacks against them. It provides a very substantial and visible power up, and traditionally represents when the character is ready to push themselves much further and accept much more bodily harm than usual. Playing for Keeps Breaks and Stresses 1 point of Continuity for every ''15%'' of your maximum HP you have remaining, plus 2. Fractional increments of 15 become an equivalent chance to lose that point of Continuity. Since Playing for Keeps gives large benefits every single turn, getting more turns of use has a higher cost. When you >reset, you ''get back'' 1 Strained and 1 Broken point of Continuity for each 15% of your maximum HP you still have, in the same way. When are KO'd while playing for Keeps, you incur 1 Stress and 1 Break.<br>

'''>strain/stat <stat>''' empowers either Power, Precision, Mitigation, or Endurance for the rest of the fight. The chosen stat gains a ''Minor'' bonus, and an associated minor benefit: Power slightly increases the random damage of your attacks, Precision slightly increases the random accuracy of your attacks, Mitigation slightly decreases the random accuracy of attacks against you, and Endurance slightly decreases the random damage of attacks against you. Any stat strain Breaks 1 and Stresses 2 Continuity. Upon >reset, another 1 Continuity is Broken and another 1 Continuity is Stressed. Multiple stats can be strain-enhanced at once, but the same one cannot be strain-enhanced multiple times.<br>
