Your party also gets an attack buff to tear the opposition to bits. Rather than apply Negate Action, it applies Stop, which not only prevents the enemy from doing anything but also erases them from the turn queue and keeps them from dodging as well. Hilda's Song takes Popo's concepts and cranks it even further.It's the first Song you receive, and it sets the bar for the later Songs to come. So not only are the enemies more vulnerable to the rest of the team, they are also left unable to do anything but move.
