The higher the Kinship Gauge, the more powerful attacks you can land. If you manage to stay mounted while you continue to land normal attacks, your Kinship Gauge will continue to go up, but it caps at Kinship Level 3. Ride: This allows you to mount your Monstie during battle.These skills can be one of the three Attack Types or they can boost your team's stats. Rider Skills: First off, you as a Monster Rider have a number of skills at your disposal and they each take a different amount of Kinship Gauge points to complete.This is the Kinship Gauge, and it can be used in a few different ways.
If you and/or your Monstie completes a successful Head-to-Head or Double Attack the gauge will fill a lot more. Each time you land successful attacks this gauge fills a little. You'll notice a circular gauge near the bottom of the screen that fills with blue light as you battle.
