What determines starting TP in Chain Attacks

[emmalee]

When starting a chain attack, each character starts with some number of TP. The amount is different for each character, and it's not clear what influences it. Knowing what changes this number could help ensure more powerful or consistent chain attacks.

The initial TP is always a set number during the first chain attack order under normal conditions:

• Main character: Noah (30), Mio (25), Eunie (25), Taion (35), Lanz (15), and Sena (15)

• Heros: Ethel (25), Valdi (20), Zeon (25), Teach (30), Riku & Manana (15), Gray (35), Isurd (40), Juniper (25), Ashera (15), Alexandria (30), Monica (30), Fiona (15), Triton (10), Ghondor (35), Cammuravi (15), Segiri (20)

Miyabi (15), Nia (15), Melia (35)
