Facts from the source article.
Background
A Boost Strike can be activated when the enemy shows a strike marker, which most commonly appears when the enemy is at low health and has been hit with a long combo. It is triggered by pressing the button for a character's Boost Attack and is performed by that character together with a second one. Against certain bosses, special Boost Strikes can be used to turn the tide of battle in the player's favor. The system is similar to the Fatal Strike system of Tales of Vesperia.
