History

At the time of its release, it replaced Bomb Defense Up and Cold-Blooded, and had the same effect as the combination of both of those abilities with the same number of AP (e.g. 10 AP of this ability is equivalent to 10 AP of each of the two old abilities). All gear with Bomb Defense Up that could be purchased from the shops before replacement can now be purchased with this ability.

Version	Adjustments
4.5.0	▲ The effect that reduces the amount of time you can be tracked by a Point Sensor will now trigger more easily with a fewer number of Bomb Defense Up DX gear abilities equipped.
