Quick time event
When attempting to avoid this attack in gameplay, the player has to complete a series of real-time events by performing certain actions on the Touch Screen, in order to nullify or lessen the damage received. Missing or not touching these circles correctly will result in more damage being dealt to the player's team members.

The quick time event consists of six circles, each that need to be tapped once, appearing in various parts of the screen. If done correctly, even partially, the player has a chance of avoiding this attack.
