Measure Effects affect segments of the player or enemy's Bar during battle. In most cases, they only affect combatants who's bar indicators are passing through them. Therefore, it's encouraged to actively switch between band members during battle to spread out their effects. Measure Effects can be further altered through the use of Modifiers.
It is important not to confuse Measure Effects with Bar Effects, which are depicted by the frame of the bar itself.
