The app restarting I mentioned is a troubleshooting tactic for when the app glitches and the Swords do not combine, regardless of hits afterwards, like they are supposed to. I said "part of it" because it also involves actually dropping the battle cat, which is an attack on the party itself regardless of whether or not the other bars include hits on the party. Perhaps a better word I could have used instead of "part" was "majority". Thank you, though!
