Detonation Mode is a mechanic in Wild Arms 4 and Wild Arms 5 that grants random temporary bonuses in battle.
Overview[]
Detonation Mode manifests as a sparkling aura around the character or monster, and grants them status increases. It activates randomly, and lasts for the whole battle, or until the character is defeated. In certain encounters, enemies always start in Detonation Mode. The player can also equip their characters with the "Tiny Flower" badge, that will always activate the Mode, but makes it last only a single turn.

- ATK +100
