The segment from the lower center up until the lower right portion of the screen contains the timeline, the "Last Resort" (とっておき) button and its gauge bar, the current active playable character and its available skills.

The timeline shows the activity order, with all currently active characters in a move order queue.

The Last Resort Button unleashes a special skill from the playable characters present on the screen. The Last Resort cannot be used immediately, and must be charged by using any move. This charge is reflected in the gauge bar, represented by the curved rectangle surrounding the button on the lower right.

The Last Resort button can be filled up until three stars. Activating the Last Resort Button would either, a) Have one, two, or all characters do their special skill, or) show a selection of the available characters to do the special skill.

Using character skills put the said skills on cooldown. If the character skill is currently on cooldown, the skill is greyed, and a vertical green bar can be seen in front of the skill. The green bar fills from the bottom to the top, disappearing if the skill has fully finished cooldown.
