Characters trip all the time

[VaryNia]

Really annoying when you are in a pinch in a battle and your characters randomly trip. Why does that happen? This isn't fkin Brawl

Are you sure you're on the right forum?

Yes I am sure^^", maybe it isn't directly called that in the english version, but what happens is that one of your chars would get the next turn, but the game just displays: "XXX tripped" (or something like that) and then the turn of this character is skipped. No debuffs involved and I don't think it is an enemy ability

That only happens if you run away. Are you trying to run away?

[Minneyar]

If you're trying to flee, yes, there is a chance of that failing. I've never seen characters just randomly lose their action any other time. If you want to make fleeing more reliable, that's what the skill Evil Ward is for.

I am not fleeing, though I have mostly seen it happen when many characters are dead or low life

Sounds like a localization issue, maybe. What's the actual text? Maybe we can figure out what the equivalent would be.

Can you take a screenshot? This is weird, I've only started avoiding fights in the past 10 or so hours ingame and have never seen my characters "trip" without me trying to escape first.

Ok, I found the solution: It seems like characters are likely to trip if they are fighting higher-level enemies

Well no, it still never happens unless you try to run.

they would only trip if you try to flee tho, maybe you keep fleeing the battle by mistake/false input

No, if I fled, they would run to the right, but they don't even get a turn

[Minneyar]

Please take a screenshot or a video of what's going on.

Only the first character you try to run with will turn to the right. If the run attempt fails, all other characters will trip for the rest of the turn.

Only other explination I can think of is they may have mistranslated a status effect like stun or sleep. it doesn't sound like his characters are getting a turn at all, but it may be one of those, though I could see "trip" as a mistranslation for why you miss an attack when blinded...
