Burden


Burden[edit]

Refers to the amout of 'stress' placed on an Automaton by activation or use of an elemental maneuver. After reaching a certain threshold, there is a chance of an Overload occuring when additional maneuvers are used.

Burden decreases over time.

The Overdrive 2-hour ability allows maneuvers to be used without risk of Overload while active. Burden does accumulate normally during this period.
