* "'''DMC'''": '''[[damage cancel|Damage Cancel]]''', an unintended game mechanic '''not present on Ephinea''' whereby players using techniques or dealing damage values (typically referring to lower damage values) could "override" the damage values of other characters, which often resulted in certain strategies being more effective than others at killing enemies (e.g. an enemy hit by a Force's lower-damage {{Rafoie}} at the same time as another character's higher-damage [[Weapons#Sacrificial damage increase|charge]] weapon attack would ''only'' take the lower damage from the Rafoie). '''This was removed from Ephinea and is only displayed on this page for archival purposes.'''

* "'''RT'''": '''Retrap''', used by android players to indicate that they are about to die intentionally and use a {{Tool|Scape Doll}} to restore their [[traps]]. It is said in advance of the intentional death, as revival by the Scape Doll can be interrupted by the usage of a {{Tool|Moon Atomizer}} or {{Reverser}}, which will disrupt the process and ''not'' restore the player's traps.

* "'''Twins'''": '''{{Mylla & Youlla}}''', a [[Photon Blasts|photon blast]] which grants {{Shifta}} and {{Deband}}, and can be used in [[Photon Blasts#Chaining|chains]] to grant higher levels than [[Techniques|techniques]] can normally provide.

* "'''RDR'''": '''Rare Drop Rate''', which is the percentage chance (typically expressed as a fraction in the drop tables) for an enemy to, upon death, drop ''their designated rare'' item, ''if they drop an item at all''. This value is multiplied with an enemy's drop anything rate to determine the final rate at which an enemy will drop its designated rare item.

** "'''RDR Week'''": One of ''Ephinea's'' four unique weekly boosts, during which time the rare drop rate of all monsters is multiplied by 25%.
