Tutorial/Control Skills

Some enemies can use Control Skills during combat that ignore Invulnerable effects.
While a Control Skill is being executed, there will be no flash warning.
The first hit of a Control Skill cannot be blocked or parried. When it hits or is dodged by an Agent, it enters a special Vital View state where the enemy will continue to launch multiple attacks. Agents can counter subsequent attacks using a Defensive Assist or Evasive Assist.

If you successfully counter all of an enemy's skills during Vital View, when the Agent's subsequent skills hit the enemy again, it will inflict a Shutdown effect, dealing massive DMG and accumulating considerable Daze. When successfully countering the final attack of a Control Skill with a Perfect Dodge or Evasive Assist, it will additionally trigger a Precise Counter effect, restoring Decibels for the active character.

During Control Skills, Agents cannot trigger an Ultimate. Additionally, during each enemy attack, you can only switch Agents once, and each Agent can only dodge once.
