While in the Arena, it does one good to keep the audience cheering for them, and the Popularity meter is the representation of it. Going from 0% to 100%, doing things that please the crowd will result in a positive increase in points, while doing thing that displease the audience will lower it.

Things that please the audience:

>Hitting Weak Points/Critting
>Defeating an enemy
>Defeating more than one enemy
>Technical Attacks
>Baton Passes
>Combos

Things that displease the audience:

>Hitting Null/Repel/Absorbs
>Getting KO’d by an opponent
>Getting multiple KO’s by an opponent
>Debuffs
>Buffs
>Getting a Weak Point hit/Being critted

The Popularity meter is relative: 75% popularity for you means 25% for your opponent. There’s more to the Popularity meter than just praise on the battlefield, rather there are quarters of Popularity that grant you certain boons.

0%: Random Group Debuff (Constant, but Random), less chance to Crit, more likely to be Critted
1+%: Normal
25%: Random Group Buff (Constant, but Random)
50%: Less likely to be Critted
75% More likely to Crit (Revolution)
100%: +5% HP Regen, +5% SP Regen
