S-Craft

S-Crafts (Sクラフト) are special crafts that consume all CP of the selected character. At least 100CP is required to use an S-Craft and their strength is boosted if used at 200CP.

Though almost all S-Crafts are used to attack, they can occasionally heal or apply protective buffs.

S-Breaks

S-Crafts can be used instantly, regardless of the user's placement in the turn order list. This is called 'S-Break.' S-Breaks can be highly effective when used at the right time, interrupting enemies and stealing AT bonuses that they would otherwise have received. A common tactic is to attack or use a Craft, then follow up immediately using S-Break. Another useful move is to use an item to restore CP, then carefully time activation of the S-Break after the CP has been restored but before the enemy can act.

Unlike normal attacks, S-Crafts are not capable of guard-breaking enemies. This is also true on turns with a 'Critical' AT bonus, so determining when best to use S-Crafts and S-Breaks can prove crucial to victory.

While a character may have more than one S-Craft, only a single S-Break is available at any given time. Outside of battle, which S-Craft is used as the S-Break can be set from the menu.

Any character may use their S-Break at any given time if available. As such, another common strategy is to finish an enemy or enemies at low health by attacking using multiple S-Breaks before they can act again.

S-Crafts and the Zero CP bonus

In the re-balanced Evolution versions of Sora no Kiseki, S-Crafts can be used regardless of CP with the 'Zero CP' AT bonus. If a character has less than 100CP, he or she cannot use S-Breaks; however, if a character has more than 100CP, he or she can use an S-Break at no additional cost.

This feature returns in Trails into Reverie where S-crafts can be used on 'Zero CP' AT bonuses regardless of remaining CP.
