How does Overdrive work? - Woman in White Long Sleeve Shirt Holding White Paper

At the end of Chapter 5, you earn the ability to activate Overdrive after accumulating 3,000TP. What are the mechanics of this? Including:

  • What does the big number in the middle count? What does having a higher number achieve?
  • What determines how long it lasts for, and can it be extended?
  • What determines if your partners contribute to the Overdrive?
  • Can partners activate their Overdrive by themselves?
  • Does "chaining" art colours (like Xenoblade Chronicles' chain attacks) have an advantage?
  • Certain bonuses seem to be tied to following one specific art colour with another. Are they random, and what are the bonuses?

Any other mechanics I've missed too.

Should you drive with overdrive on or off?

In an automatic vehicle, overdrive is always on by default. For most driving situations, you should leave it on. This allows your vehicle to use all of its available gears including the highest ones. Overdrive maximizes fuel economy and keeps NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) at a more tolerable level.

How do you use overdrive in automatic transmission?

An overdrive consists of an electrically or hydraulically operated epicyclic gear train bolted behind the transmission unit. It can either couple the input driveshaft directly to the output shaft (or propeller shaft) (1:1), or increase the output speed so that it turns faster than the input shaft (1:1 + n).
