Mimic Questions

[Kaylee]

hmmm Im thinking about bringing back my old character, but i need to know something first.

If I use Mimic to copy a move, does my character have to have the proficiency needed to actually use it during that confrontation? I know that if i were to choose to have it permanently then yes I would, but what if it was just for this instance? As for super-moves would I be able to copy them as long as I could pay the sp cost to use?

A tactical and versatile ability, Mimic allows you to copy any powers or moves you've seen (or read with Insight) for up to an hour afterwards in-character. You must witness this in-person; watching someone use a move on a screen, for example, will not work. To use a Super Move you have copied, you must also pay the SP cost for it, and to copy things permanently you must buy them with OM (i.e. you have to buy the move yourself if you want to keep it in all circumstances). Bear in mind that you will not copy the target's stats - the move's effectiveness will depend on your own stats - and you will be somewhat less skilled than if you had the ability or move yourself.

You will only need said proficency if you wish to copy said move permanently.
