Impulse (ライジングインパルス, Raijingu Inparusu?, lit. Rising Impulse) is Gladiolus' Limit Burst.

It also increases Gladiolus' chance of being targeted to 100% for three turns, effectively being a provoke-type ability.

The damage modifier will depend on Gladiolus' LB level:

Rarity Name Change in Effect Cost
5★ Impulse Base (Lv. 1) Damage dealt (3.5x) 16 FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 20) Damage dealt (4.45x)
6★ Impulse Base (Lv. 1) Damage dealt (4x) 20 FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 25) Damage dealt (5.2x)
7★ Impulse Base (Lv. 1) Damage dealt (?x) ? FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 30) Damage dealt (?x)
