■ Wield your madness to your advantage
When the madness gauge reaches max, you will enter a “Mad State”, in which you attack both enemies and allies for several turns before self-destructing. Instead of taking this risk and increasing the madness gauge, you can choose to activate the “authority” power. Controlling the madness effectively can help turn the tide in battle.
