It's random which of the five options come up (tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, nothing, and refill meter). You can shuffle, but the shuffle is risky, in that if you hit a button, and that button doesn't correspond to anything, it just keeps rolling, eating up your time limit. You're supposed to get certain combinations of the three tiers, to knock out higher level attacks called Concurrences. That's the meat and potatoes of the system. If you knock out the best combo (Black Hole), you can do somewhere around 60K damage to your target, and a large amount to surrounding enemies. Black hole requires 4 or more of each tier of attack. I count them in order, so I meant I got 6 each of tiers 1 and 3, and 4 tier 2, so it resulted in the highest possible attack. I don't know if each of the regular attacks add damage or not, so I just keep the chain going as long as possible.
In this way, you can take out bosses that would be impossible given your current strength. I myself use it a lot, but almost never use the Summons.
So, I think I've had enough of the Zertinan Caverns. I'm coming across guys that use Disease (damage permanent until you hit a crystal), Disable, and Doom, plus enemies that are stupidly overleveled. I'll come back later for those Archeowhatevers and the other two enemy types I need to farm.
