Summons (Dissidia 012)

Summons is a gameplay mechanic in Dissidia 012. By equipping a summonstone to a character and using it in battle, the player can cause an effect that influences their own or their opponent's bravery.

Many summons have an AUTO version and a manual version. AUTO version activates automatically when a specified condition has been met during battle, while the manual version is activated at will by inputting R + Circle. The only exception to this are countersummons, which only activate if the opponent calls a summon first.
