Steelskin
Recommended Videos
Steelskin is Barret’s other starting special ability, and it costs 1 ATB to activate. Once activated, it temporarily reduces the amount of damage taken and makes it harder for an enemy’s attack to interrupt any of Barret’s own.
The reduced damage is obviously great, but it’s the protection against interruption that is crucial to playing Barret well. This means that you can unleash your big attacks like Focused Shot and Maximum Fury with impunity while shrugging off blows that would stop another character in their tracks.
You should try and keep Steelskin up as often as possible, as while it is active the task of building up ATB becomes much easier, allowing you to in turn deal even more damage.
