Perform dances that bewitch enemies.

Description

Dance is a command in Final Fantasy V. When !Dance is used, one of four random abilities triggers with a 25% chance for each.

!Dance can also be used as a damage-replacing added command by attacking with the Dancing Dagger (50% probability).

Obtained[]

Dance is the Dancer job's innate command. It can be equipped by any job after reaching job level 2 as a Dancer, for a total of 75 AP (50 AP from level 1).

Mechanics[]

Equipping the Rainbow Dress, the Red Slippers, or Lamia's Tiara causes the character to use Sword Dance instead of Tempting Tango, effectively increasing Sword Dance's chances of appearing to 50%.

Much like other physical commands, !Dance prevents other added commands from activating, e.g., !Flee via the Chicken Knife.

Mimicking !Dance still has a random outcome.
