Episode III: Special Attacks
Remember back in the days of Episode I and Episode II where only KOS-MOS and Ziggy had special attacks? Well obviously that's not the case anymore. In Episode III all characters, even MOMO, have their own Special Attacks. If you finish off an enemy with that attack, it's called a Finish Strike, and your EXP/SP/Credits earned in battle are multiplied by 1.5.
Now I myself find MOMO's Special Attacks rather useful at the beginning of the game, but they lose their zeal at the end. This is probably most attributed to the fact that her third and last Special Attack, Gold Crown, is really not useful. What's nice is that all her Special Attacks only cost 2 boost (unlike characters like KOS-MOS which require 4 for some attacks, which requires an extra accessory to even get 4 boost counts). Here's a table MOMO's Special Attacks! Small note: Level indicates what level MOMO learns it, NOT what level the attack is. The level the attack is increases by usage.

Of course these are only the official descriptions. Freeze Shock gets in two hits, but total up pretty well when used against an enemy weak against ice (damage ranges from 700-1000 HP). Guilty Rain is really one of the best Special Attacks. It hits all enemies and is extremely effective in Labyrinthos, where the mechs and soldiers are typically weak against Lightning. Gold Crown casts Offensive (Attack and Eth. Attack Up), Defensive (Vitality and Eth. Defense Up), and Balance (Accuracy and Evasion Up). Honestly, Gold Crown is pretty useless in my opinion. It wastes boost that good be instead used in chaining combos against Breaked boss.
To sum up, Freeze Shock is decent, Guilty Rain is really great, and Gold Crown is pretty but isn't necessary. Still, it's wonderful seeing MOMO's unique sequences and getting her own Finish Strikes.
