Skills Summary ))========================> <=============\\_______________________//=============> #================# # Foreboding # #================# Skill Class: C Skill Type : Mental Summary: With this skill, if a user and another user can POSSIBLY Perform a combination attack a RED arrow will point to both members in the IP Gauge, linking them together. This means that they can learn a combination attack. (Note: you still have to meat the requirements before you actually learn it) #================# # Iron Guard # #================# Skill Class: C Skill Type : Physical Summary: Iron Guard is basically a immunity from small damaging attacks. It works for both physical and magical attacks as long as the damage is less than your level x 10%. This is a must have C Rank skill, as it will enable you to get perfect victories (1.2 x experience) since low level enemies wont be able to hurt you (as much)! #================# # Coercion # #================# Skill Class: C Skill Type : Special Summary: With this skill, it CAN prevent enemies from fleeing from battle (Decamp, escape, high agility, Flee etc) With a maxed out Coercion it will only prevent the enemy from escaping 70% of the time, so its best to have 2 of them on your party (If you have the space for it) This is a must have skills if you are hunting lucky minks in the Starry Corridor! #================# # Unassailable # #================# Skill Class: B Skill Type : Combat Summary: Unassailable MAY blocks attacks if your attacking an enemy and the enemy is attacking you at the exact same time. Make sense? EX: and enemy gets an attack off just RIGHT before your about to swing. THis is actually a decent skill for slow attackers (Ulk, Brandol, Myam) #================# # Berserk # #================# Skill Class: B Skill Type : Special Summary: With this skill, it MAY make your character go "Berserk" Berserk meaning Higher Attack, higher speed etc. #================# # Asura Spirt # #================# Skill Class: A Skill Type : Combat Summary: Asura Spirt Adds +1 attack for combo attacks. At max Level, will add +3 attacks. So combined with your normal attack, The user will attack +5 times!! And best of all it IS stacable! So in theory you could equip Brandol/ulk with five of these and attack +17 Times in ONE turn!! OUCH! #================# # Triple Attack # #================# Skill Class: A Skill Type : Combat Summary: Kinda like Asura Spirt Adds +1 attack for Critical attacks. Only this IS NOT stacable! At max level will add +3 attacks PLUS 1 for normal critical! MORE TO COME!!! <=============//¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\\=============> <========================(( III. F.A.Q.S ))========================> <=============\\_______________________//=============> MORE TO COME!!! MORE TO COME!!!
