ARCUS
다른 명령
The ARCUS, an abbreviation for All-Round Communication & Unison System, is a newly-made fifth-generation battle orbment developed by the Epstein Foundation in collaboration with the Reinford Group. Each unit has a built-in communications functionality. Its defining feature is the ability to link up with a partner to greatly enhance combat ability.
Background
Like the previous battle orbments in the series, its basic architecture allows installing quartz to strengthen the user’s physical capabilities, enable orbal arts, and enable communication between places.
Unlike the previous orbment models, ARCUS allows installing multiple quartz of the same type, such as Attack 1 and Attack 2, at the same time. Completely identical quartz still cannot be installed in the same orbment, however.
Features
- Portable Communication: One of the primary functions to keep contact with fellow users anytime and anywhere.
- Orbal arts: One of the primary functions for self-enhancement and combat magic by inserting quartz into slots. For this new module, new types of quartz are required to fit the slots in adjustment to the series' gaming balance.
- Master quartz System: New quartz that are inserted into the central slot where it can level up and gain new abilities. In the new ARCUS II, the MQ slots were upgraded to insert up to two at once.
- Combat Link System: The module's unique distinction, allowing party members to 'resonate' with their partners during battle. Thereby, giving more coordinated tactics where one is assisted by their link partner to perform powerful follow-up attacks. The stronger the links become, the more abilities granted between different partners.
- Increased number of slots: While the previous orbment models included no more than 7 quartz slots, ARCUS features 9 slots: 8 slots for the general quartz and one for master quartz. ARCUS II introduces one more slot for sub-master quartz, for a total of 10 slots.
- Overdrive: A new function available in 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 II after Rean became an Awakener. Once activated, all party members are periodically given the advantages such as HP/EP/CP recovery, full status alleviation and all attacks/crafts perform 100% unbalance. The ARCUS II does not have this ability.
Development

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III introduces the successor to the ARCUS, the ARCUS II. Additionally of being able to perform most of the functions of its predecessor, it also allows usage of Brave Orders and setting of sub-master quartz as well as taking photos, sending messages and installing apps such as Round of Seven and Pom! Pom! Party!. Overdrive is not possible with the ARCUS II, however.
In, 영웅전설 시작의 궤적, the United Front function was added, intended as an imitation of the secondary contractor system of the Ashen Knight. It allows up to ten characters to do a combined attack, either physical, arts, or healing. Only those who were connected at the end of the Great Twilight can access it though as long as at least one person in a linked party can use it everyone else can too. E.g., when Renne joins C's party C and the others are able to use them too despite not fitting the requirements to use it themselves.
