—Phrase when declaring Limit Break | ||
"Limit Break" or "LB" for short (リミットブレイク Rimitto Bureiku), is a keyword introduced in the Trial Deck 5: Slash of Silver Wolf and Trial Deck 6: Resonance of Thunder Dragon. It is indicated by a speedometer followed by a variable number: 
/ 
/ 
.
In the anime, Limit Break is depicted as a vanguard circle with a color corresponding to the color of the user's VC appearing and spinning quickly above or in front of the unit. The unit also assumes an aggressive or standby stance.
How it Works
A "Limit Break" ability remains active, or can only be used, as long as the number of cards in your damage zone is the stated number or more. You need to have the stated number or more as soon as the event for an ability would occur, even if you are able to get it during the resolution of another ability.
If it activates successfully, then it will resolve even if the requirement is not met after being activated. If the number of cards in your damage zone becomes less than the stated number at anytime, the ability is no longer active.
