Percipience

Percipience is a Scholar Support Skill in Octopath Traveler.

Effect[]

Your party cannot be Surprised by the enemy. Being surprised moves all allied actions to the end of the turn queue, causing all enemies to act before you. Surprise cannot occur during boss fights, so this skill only affects random encounters.

Party Skill: The effects of this skill apply to your whole party and equipping it on more than one member of your active party has no effect.
