Battle evaluation

Battle evaluation (戦闘評価(せんとうひょうか)) refers to a set of tactical bonuses (タクティカルボーナス) that can be awarded after completed battles in any Trails series game starting with Trails from Zero. Each individual tactical bonus adds an additional multiplier to the base experience awarded to each character.

Some bonuses are unique and can only be earned once per battle. Others can be earned multiple times, up to 9 times each battle. From Trails through Daybreak onwards, all bonuses can only be obtained once per battle, but different bonuses from field battles and command battles can contribute to the same battle evaluation (for example, transitioning from a field battle with Swapper obtained into a command battle will add it to the result of the command battle).

The tactical bonuses gained during battle appear on the right of the screen when they occur. All are shown in the tally at the end of battle, along with the sum of multipliers, as long as there's any experience to multiply. Losing or fleeing the battle does not give experience, and in some cases neither does meeting the victory condition.

In most games with the feature, gaining or exceeding a bonus of a certain amount, such as 4.0, grants an achievement or trophy.
