Determination regenerates slowly in combat (max 120); additionally restored by EX Special Attack: Cool Wheelie hits, Chain Attack, block triggers, and Perfect Dodges (+3, once every 0.5s). At 100+ Determination, hold Basic Attack to activate Basic Attack: Full-Throttle Starlight. Hitting enemies with Basic Attack: Knight's Technique or Dodge Counter: Duel King (via Perfect Dodge) restores HP. EX Special Attack: High-Traction Wheels and Rocking Footwork restore HP.
