The IP Gauge. Hm..

Skills are executed faster on the IP Gauge, the more stars you have for the skill. I believe 5 stars is the maximum you can get and you need to spend Skill Coins on the skills to raise the number of stars. It's better to have the skills executed faster because then there is less chance of the attack being interrupted or cancelled entirely by an enemy's attack. If you ARE attacked by an enemy, however, it slows that characters increase in IP Gauge for afew seconds, and devestating attacks will take a character back to the start of the gauge. You have to be strategical and think of how best to beat each enemy before they can get attacks out on you.
