Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (PSP) Character FAQ Version 1.1 By Were Tiger ([email protected]) =============================================================================== This FAQ seeks to primarily offer an analysis on each of the classes in the game, something that apparently is sorely needed if the topics that crop up every day on the boards mean anything. A crude version for now, input is appreciated. My first attempt at a FAQ so I bear with me please. Use Ctrl+F [whatever] to find the specific section for a class or ability. ___________ Legal Stuff This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.

Cross class persuasion skills are not included. _______________ Generic Classes [Warrior] =============================================================================== WT: 32 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: Fist, Dagger, 1H Sword, 2H Sword, Axe, Hammer, Cudgel*, Whip, Heavy Armour Magic: None Skills: Mighty Impact(3), Vigorous Attack(15), Double Impact(25) Seemingly the most basic and forgettable class, the Warrior is actually now quite different from its first appearances. Although this class can use a very wide variety of different weapons it is best to give them something 2 handed. Their advantages largely revolve around Mighty Impact (100% crit and hit, suppress counter), and Double Impact (Attack twice!), liberal usage is important to keeping up with other classes. Nonetheless, for most of the game until Double Impact becomes available, the Warrior may find himself overshadowed. Sadly, there is not much to say about this class, as admittedly it is the most basic one in the game despite its overhaul. [Archer] =============================================================================== WT: 26 Movement: 3 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: Dagger*, Bow, Crossbow, Thrown, Medium Armour Magic: None Skills: Tremendous Shot(3), Eagle Eye(15), Double Shot(25) In the original game Archers were the most overpowered basic unit by far, and this time around....they might be even better. Compared to the old Archers you can actually see the developers tried to give them some weaknesses, like 3 Movement and a dead zone for bows, as well as defenses that aren't absurdly high. Despite these nerfs, the Archer continues to enjoy incredible offensive potential, unerring accuracy, insane range, and great weapon options. They are easily the best damage dealers for the first chunk of the game, when your melee units may be struggling to deal much damage or even just land attacks. Some of their advantages are more subtle, such as often being able to stand in place to quicken their turns, which in turn gives them more opportunities to attack and increase weapon rank. More likely than not, Archers will be your only units that come close to maxing weapon rank by the end of the main game. Tremendous Shot (100% crit and hit) is amazing, but Double Shot (Attack twice!) simply feels incredibly cheap. Oftentimes Archers can snipe off fragile enemy leaders or even not so fragile ones and end battles very quickly; deploying multiple archers is a good way to ensure a smooth and easy playthrough of the game. Consider not using more than 1 Archer (or even any...) in your squad if you want a challenge from the game. [Wizard]/[Enchantress] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 3 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: Dagger*, Cudgel*, Hammer*, Caster Armour Magic: Standard Mage Set Skills: Meditate(3), Conserve RT(15), Engulf(25), Coax(5) The Wizard and 'Witch' are now merged into the same class, fulfilling the role of both attack and support with access to the majority of magic spells. This is the basic primary caster for a good portion of the game, and performs well at what it does until the more advanced casters become available. It's rather unfortunate that Conserve RT (No RT cost on next spell, but this skill costs 16 RT itself...) comes early in the game when it is not worthwhile, while Engulf (+3 magic range) has a hefty TP cost that makes it hard to abuse. Nonetheless this unit can offer important utility by shutting down tough units until you can deal with them such as dragons, while eventually becoming a formidable attacker in its own right. It's important to select 1 primary element to attack with and train up the Augment Element skill throughout the unit's career, or offensive potential will taper off in the late game. The true 'problem' with this class is that it is largely obsoleted by its counterparts the Warlock, Necromancer, and Lich. If not for the game's leveling system and the difficulty of changing into the other casters it would be wise to abandon this class the moment the others become available, but fortunately this is somewhat discouraged. [Cleric] =============================================================================== WT: 24 Movement: 3 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: Hammer*, Cudgel*, Caster Armour Magic: Exorcism, Silent Light, Boon of Swiftness, Dispel, Awaken, Innervate, Singing Light, Awaken Stone, Liberate, Cleanse, Cleanse II, Unburden, Hearten, Ease, Heal, Major Heal, Resurrect Skills: Mother's Blessing(12), Mother's Mercy(25), Recruit(1), Seraph's Pact(10) This is your standard healer class, and it serves its role....adequately. Simply due to the nature of healing spells the Cleric can not single handedly keep your whole squad healed on its own when you're taking heavy damage, but it still is the most effective at attempting to do so. Mother's Blessing (double HP recovered by next spell) can be an incredible life saver when used with Major Heal and is really the best reason to keep one of these guys around. It is a good idea to give your Cleric a Lobber and Field Alchemy to compliment his spells, especially later on when there's no way this class can keep units up with just spells if not fueled by MP items. Having been merged with the old Exorcist, this class is also your undead destroyer, even though this job is sufficiently covered by Exorcism scrolls...but thats probably where all those complaints about money troubles come from. [Rune Fencer]/[Valkyrie] =============================================================================== WT: 26 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down, Swim Classmark: Shop Equip: 1H Sword, Spear, Bow*, Crossbow*, Thrown, Heavy Armour Magic: Missile Magic, Summon Magic, Elemental Augments, Boon of Swiftness, Dispel, Ease, Heal Skills: HP Infusion(8), Barricade(10), Conserve MP(16), MP Infusion(24), Recruit(1) Although descended from the well known Valkyrie class from all the games from the series, this incarnation is strangely completely different. Frustratingly it no longer functions well as a dual physical-magic attacking hybrid, even though it may appear to be one on the surface. For most of the game this class' offensive ability is very poor, relegating the Rune Fencer to a support role. As you would expect, attempting to cover all fronts in a hybrid role is a difficult proposition in a game with limited skill slots, so this class becomes further hampered by these restrictions. That said, in the support role the Rune Fencer can perform very well, having access to essentially all the best Divine spells like Boon of Swiftness and Ease, and backed by the means to cast them with Conserve MP. Note that while this class technically has access to all elements it has no reason to ever use those elements other than Divine, as Divine offers the class far more options, somewhat inexplicably. [Knight] =============================================================================== WT: 36 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: 1H Sword, Axe*, Hammer, Heavy Armour Magic: Heal, Light Augments Skills: Phalanx(5), Rampart Shadow(12), Sanctuary Shadow(16), Guardian Force(20), Recruit(1) This is your tank unit, and is actually the very best at what he does, which is absorbing damage. The actual value of this may be somewhat dubious later, but there's no doubt that this is the game's premier tank. As a tank, they almost always want to go sword and board, especially since their 2 handed options are very slim anyway. This, combined with their natural slowness, results in typically the slowest unit in the whole game. Do not expect respectable damage from this class for long, made worse as this unit often finds that its turns better used doing something else, resulting in slower than normal weapon ranking. Phalanx (Reduce damage taken by 90%) sounds amazing on paper but you're almost always better off using a healing item on yourself. By using Phalanx you do almost guarantee the survival of the Knight, but do so by directing attention towards your other units, which is the opposite of what you want from a tank. Generally much more effective is their Rampart Aura, but most front line melee classes can inherit the first two ranks of this skill, which are the only ones you'll see for most of the game. Consequently it is easy to find yourself overlooking this class despite its unique advantages. [Terror Knight] =============================================================================== WT: 38 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: 2H Sword, Axe*, Hammer, Cudgel*, Crossbow*, Heavy Armour Magic: Drain Heart, Drain Mind, Drain Power, Dark Augments, Paralytic Wave, Sleep, Gravity Flux Skills: Fearful Impact(3), Shadowbreak(13), Squash(15), Lament of the Dead(20), A somewhat awkward class that takes a lot of work to get the most out of, the Terror Knight seeks to tank via disabling status magic and skills. Despite being a tank the Terror Knight does not take damage very well, and can be pretty easy to snipe off before it starts shutting down the enemy. Spellstrike is absolutely crucial to this class' success, as otherwise status magic accuracy will be very low. The Terror Knight will only really start to shine once you get Lament of the Dead, inflicting Frightened on many enemies at once can be very tide turning. Although this is the slowest class in the game, it does not perform well with a shield so in practice it is at least slightly faster than the regular Knight. Once in the fray the Terror Knight can contribute reasonable but not overly impressive damage while impeding enemies with Rampart Aura. [Berserker] =============================================================================== WT: 34 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: Fist, Dagger, Axe, Hammer, Cudgel*, Thrown, Heavy Armour Magic: None Skills: Berserk(7), Sanguine Assault(14), Risk Management(18) Your 'all out attacker' unit, the Berserker struggles to perform in the early stages but once it gains access to Sanguine Assault you should be very pleased with its damage output. Berserk has its moments as well, giving this solid class some versatility. This class does not take damage very well, and a shield only goes so far, so it is highly recommended to stick with 2 handed weapons. The Beserker may seem like it requires a lot of babysitting, but think of it as the enemy feeding him TP instead. Their efforts only empower him to wreck havoc with Sanguine Assault afterall. Still, you should be cautious with the Berserker, as it admittedly is the most fragile among the heavy front line classes. [Swordmaster] =============================================================================== WT: 26 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: 2H Katana, Medium Armour Magic: War Dance Skills: Preempt(8), Mighty Strike(16), Mind's Eye(24) At first glance this appears to be an awful class, taking damage like a Berserker while not dishing out as much. War Dances have a few gems but are largely crap, mass Strengthen is hard to deny as good though. However, as you build up this class you'll see its clear the Swordmaster isn't meant to tank damage, but to avoid it. By combining Preempt with the Knockback skills you can greatly improve this class' melee survival abilities. Used with Sidestep the Swordmaster becomes a decent evasion tank that is overall quite survivable. However, damage is not quite comparable to other premier attackers especially since it must conserve TP to Preempt every turn to avoid risking really eating it from accurate attackers. [Dragoon] =============================================================================== WT: 28 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: 1H Sword, 2H Sword, Axe, Spear, Cudgel*, Crossbow, Thrown*, Heavy Armour Magic: None Skills: Dragonslayer(8), Beastslayer(8), Dragonsbane(17), Beastbane(17), Dragon's Wound(21) The Dragoon's role is perhaps the most clearly defined in the game, at least compared to the rest of the melee fighters. Very different from its previous incarnations where it was a premier all purpose attacker, the Dragoon is now a Dragon and Beast slaying specialist, and it definitely excels in that role. Against other targets performance is merely average, which leads to some issues with training up this class. This is not a class you want to deploy in every battle, yet can make life dramatically easier for the ones you do want them in ....if they're kept adequately leveled. It's somewhat of a dilemma to decide whether you want to deal with a mediocre unit in battles without dragons or beasts in order to have an easier time in battles that do. The Dragoon is somewhat more durable than most of the standard melee fighters, but it is not exactly a tank either. A common strategy is to give the Dragoon a 2 handed crossbow, letting it build TP effectively on squishy targets it otherwise would have difficulty reaching in order to unleash slayer skills. Other 2 handed weapons still work well though. [Ninja] =============================================================================== WT: 22 Movement: 5 Agile, 3 Up, 4 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: Dagger*, Hammer*, 1H Katana, Bowgun, Bow*, Crossbow*, Thrown, Medium Armour Magic: Ninjutsu Skills: Concentration(3), Steelstance(16), Evanescence(25) And now we come to the game's other really overpowered generic class. It's not too surprising that dual wielding is very damaging, especially when on the fastest class....its like they didn't learn anything from FFT at all. Anyway, this class ends up with disgustingly few weaknesses in the long run, capable of withstanding stupid amounts of punishment (for a unit with so much power) with Steelstance on top of evasion skills, and it even gets Spell Ward IV. Ninjutsu's effectiveness is oft debated, but in reality it just adds more utility to this already insane class. The attack spells can even be tweaked to do respectable damage if you so desire, but they don't really add a whole lot when the damage output from the Ninja's physical attacks is so good. Highest mobility among humans, absurd damage, doesn't really die all that easily....its no shocker that the difficulty of this game goes down the gutter simply by employing a ninja death squad. Consider not using many or any Ninjas if you like to have fun. [Rogue] =============================================================================== WT: 23 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Deneb's Shop Equip: Fist, Dagger, Hammer*, Blowgun, Bow*, Crossbow, Thrown, Medium Armour +Shields Magic: None Skills: Steal(1), Sneak Attack(8), Speedstar(9), Sparagmos(10), Booby Trap(16), Disarm(20), Fey Pact(5) This is a interesting class that can do a lot of damage and has a lot of nifty tricks up its sleeve. It is perhaps the most fragile class in the game, even though it very oddly can equip the higher end shields, relying heavily on evasion for survival as it can not abuse Steelstance like the Ninja. It is best suited to sneak attacking with a dagger or using a 2 handed crossbow to stay out of the fray. Sparagmos and Speedstar are both very useful abilities, to the point where the Rogue may be hard pressed finding slots to fit all its skills. And of course, the Rogue is the only class that can Steal, even though there's only a handful of items worth stealing, and ranking up Steal is incredibly slow and painful. [Fusilier] =============================================================================== WT: 32 Movement: 3 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Event - Chapter 4 sidequest Equip: Dagger, Crossbow, Fusil, Medium Armour Magic: None Skills: Sharpshoot(3), Barricade(8), Course Correction(16) This is an odd class that suffers from many issues, foremost of which is attempting to fulfill a role that is already served by an extremely powerful class, the Archer. The Fusilier also becomes available much later, at a point where your roster is likely already firmly established. Should you attempt to use one regardless, you will find that the Fusilier is in many ways similar to an Archer with a crossbow, except it doesn't do as much damage, is slower, more vulnerable to damage especially magic, have worse weapon options, and is generally underwhelming. Alternatively you can think of this as a more balanced(as in less blatantly overpowered) Archer, as certainly this can be a very fun class to play around with. [Beast Tamer] =============================================================================== WT: 30 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Shop Equip: Fist, Axe, Hammer, Cudgel*, Whip, Medium Armour Magic: None Skills: Empower Beast(8), Empower Dragon(12), Repel Beast(24), Repel Dragon(24), Subdue(5), Tame(7) This is one of the weaker classes, which is comparable to the old Dragon Tamer but a tragic fall for the old Beast Tamer. Understandably this class is meant to support Beasts and Dragons, but it usually does so best with a Lobber and so often finds itself reduced to chucking items the entire time. The Beast Tamer is not awful at attacking, but it certainly is not impressive either, generally only doing so to generate TP for Empowering or persuading. The Empower skills can lead to impressive damage if employed well, but even if you really like Beasts and Dragons it is somewhat difficult to justify fielding this class. You're probably better off grabbing the Subdue and Tame skills and sticking to something else, but that doesn't mean this is a horrible class. [Warlock]/[Witch] =============================================================================== WT: 26 Movement: 3 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Drop/Steal - Best to farm the Mage Gildora Equip: Dagger*, Cudgel*, Spellbook, Caster Armour Magic: Standard Mage Set + Draconic Magic(All) Skills: Empower Golem(8), Control Golem(1), Gordian Key(14), Golemsbane(18), Meditate* The Warlock is in many ways the same as the Wizard, but it becomes available much later. It can essentially do everything the Wizard can minus Conserve RT and Engulf, but enjoys a number of different advantages. The most noteworthy point is that they are the only standard class that learns the Draconic Magic command, the only other class period being the Lich. Additionally they get a number of skills related to Golems, but frankly Golemsbane and Gordian Key fall under the 'neat but way too narrow to warrant a skill slot' category. Empower Golem is decent if you're into that sort of thing, but unlike Beast Tamers Warlocks will have difficulty generating that much TP without getting hit, and probably prefers to be Meditating anyway. The Warlock is capable of using Divine Magic if learned from another class, but actually suffers from an issue that is essentially the opposite of the Rune Fencer or Princess. It can only cast the Spiritsurge and Judgement spells, meaning it loses out on a great deal of utility compared to using another element, made worse by the fact that you can't have both Divine and Dark Magic commands at the same time. However, this doesn't mean that Divine Magic is completely useless for the Warlock, due to Draconic Magic. While the other elemental Draconic attack spells are merely strong attack spells, the light element Starfall has a unique advantage: It exorcises any undead it hits if they are stilled or dealt lethal damage by the spell. This actually means a Divine specialist Warlock can be the most effective generic undead destroyer in the game, but Starfall is not available until a good ways into the Palace of the Dead. Without Augment Light Starfall still gives the Warlock a significant advantage over the Wizard and even Necromancer, allowing it to destroy undead very efficiently. Should you acquire the Starfall II spell... undead will cease to be a problem ever again. Starfall aside, Draconic Magic is actually....not all that interesting. The attack spells are merely a small upgrade over normal attack spells until the second rank ones, which are rather annoying to obtain and have extremely high level requirements. The best utility Draconic spells like Teleport and Springboard are also usable by the other high end casters like the Lich and Wicce, leaving the Warlock with exclusive access to....a bunch of crappy buff spells that are almost strictly worse than the store bought buff items. It's still a nice advantage over the Wizard and Necromancer at least. [Necromancer] =============================================================================== WT: 22 Movement: 3 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Event - Chapter 4 Chaos sidequest, recruiting Cressida Drop - Necromancers at PotD 18th Floor, after recruiting Cressida Equip: Dagger*, Cudgel*, Caster Armour Magic: Standard Mage Set + Necromancy Skills: Animate Dead(3), Condemn(15), Consecrate Dead(22), Master Undead(1), Meditate* Somewhat absurdly this class is equally fast as the Ninja, and in practice faster due to not having to dual wield weapons. Like the Warlock, this class is essentially an improved Wizard, boasting significantly higher Int to go with the of course titular Necromancy command. This is however a very elusive class, so just upgrading all your Wizards into Necromancers is not a simple task. Like Draconic Magic, Necromancy is nearly non-existent until the Palace of the Dead, but once you do get it rolling it offers a fairly interesting variety of effects. While the Curse series is of dubious use, Life Force turns the Necromancer into a potent self sustained caster. Horrific Love can be very powerful, even though the Bewitched status seems to be much less effective when used by the player. As one would expect, the Necromancer works well with Undead, Animate Dead being one of the cheaper TP skills around, and Putrify II being quite effective. Even without Undead or Necromancy this class largely surpasses the Wizard, being an effective mage in all ways. [Lich] =============================================================================== WT: 30 Movement: 3 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: None* Equip: Dagger, Cudgel*, Spellbook*, Caster Armour Magic: Standard Mage Set + Non-Light Forbidden Magic + Necromancy + Draconic Magic(Attack spells, Springboard, Teleport, Negate Spell) Skills: Salvation(8), Reflection(24), Demon's Pact(1), Meditate* Although comparatively difficult to acquire the Lich is usually considered the most powerful generic caster, actually even rivaling the various special caster classes. Although quite slow, the Lich possesses the highest Int in the game to compliment its extensive spell repertoire. In addition to the standard spells, the Lich may cast Forbidden Magic, all Necromancy spells, and some Draconic spells, a powerful arsenal indeed. No matter what magics you choose to have your Lich specialize in, it will do well. The Lich's special skills are an odd bag, the bizzarely named Salvation is unlikely to be all that useful, while Reflection is pretty neat if not for the TP cost. Note that this incarnation of the Lich is not at all that durable, but other than that the Lich should be everything you expect it to be. *This is a special class that has to be transformed into. To transform a character into a Lich, bring the character to the 41st floor of the Palace of the Dead and have them use the Ring of the Dead item. The Ring of the Dead can be gotten from a number of places, but most easily being the 33rd floor of the Palace of the Dead, from the female Cenobite that starts at elevation 13. You can also acquire another from the male Death Eater starting at elevation 20, on the 53rd floor of the Palace of the Dead. Semi-generics are ineligible to becoming this class. [Divine Knight] =============================================================================== WT: 28 Movement: 4 Fly, 23 Up, 23 Down Classmark: None* Equip: 1H Sword, Bow*, Crossbow*, Heavy Armour Magic: Exorcism, Spiritsurge, Judgement, Starfall, Gift of Restoration, Nullify Strike, Dodge Blades, Ballistics, Enlighten, Phantom Shell, Holy Shield, Sacrifice Skills: Poignant Melody(4), Evilsbane(6), Silent Song(8), Rampart Shadow(11), Requiem(15), Absolution(15), Sanctuary Shadow(15), Day of Reckoning(25), Celestial Song(30), Seraph's Pact(1) A disappointing class to many, this incarnation of the 'Angel Knight' is rather different. Although it can learn a number of offensive light spells, it is very poorly suited to actually using them due to the lack of Spellcraft. Its weapon options are also very limited, generally forcing them into a sword and board setup like their OB64 appearance. Overall, this class is somewhat puzzling for those who already have expectations of it. Nonetheless, the Divine Knight can be very useful thanks to its special skills which are much better than before. Poignant Melody (Charm), Requiem (Heavy light damage to undead), and Day of Reckoning (MP/TP reset) can be amazingly effective, especially with this class' flight. Additionally, as a 'Knight', this class has access to all levels of Rampart Aura if learned before hand, and as a hybrid it can learn Spell Ward IV, which is a unique combination that allows this class to frontline effectively. Don't try to think of the Divine Knight as an attacker and you should be able to find many uses for this unique class. *This is a special class that has to be transformed into. To transform a character into a Divine Knight, have a skeleton or ghost use the Ensanguined Rood item on the 3rd floor of the San Bronsa Ruins. The rood can be acquired from various battles within the ruins themselves, most easily the first, from the Lamia Witch. If you want an existing human character to become a Divine Knight, you must first turn them into a skeleton or ghost, an annoying task itself. To do so you must first zombify the character with the Necromancy spell, which is buyable from the shops in the Palace of the Dead. (Remember, anyone can directly use the arcana to cast the spell without being a Necromancer) Next, acquire a Book of the Dead. The earliest you can get one is on the 37th floor of the Palace of the Dead, from the Gorgon who starts at elevation 17, although the book also drops elsewhere. Finally you must bring the zombie character to the 22nd floor of the Palace and have them use the book. Only after all this will your candidate be ready for rebirth into their glorious divine state. _______________ Special Classes [Lord] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Event - Chapter 4 story Equip: Almost everything except fusils, robes, and some restricted equipment. Magic: ALL! Except the restricted spell commands. Skills: First Aid(10), Phalanx*, Mighty Impact*, Tremendous Shot* This is Denam's special class. A unique case to be sure. The Lord is capable of using all support skills, all elemental magic commands plus Draconic, and a variety of action skills such a Mighty Impact, Tremendous Shot, and Phalanx. However, this class doesn't learn much of anything on its own, essentially completely relying on learning skills from other classes first in order to enhance its abilities. Noticeably this class can employ together many different skills that you normally wouldn't see on a heavy fighter, such as Rampart Aura IV, Spell Ward IV, Swiftfoot II, and the ever popular Double Attack. Although magic power is not wonderful, he is able to cast every single spell available, which is a considerable perk. Obviously this is the most flexible class in the game, and there are many ways to customize your Lord. You'll likely end up wishing you had more skill slots! [Ranger] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down, Swim Classmark: Event - Chapter 3 Lawful story Equip: Fist, Dagger, 1H Sword, Axe, Bow, Crossbow, Fusil*, Thrown, Medium Armour Magic: None Skills: Back Attack(8), First Aid(13), Disarm(18), Recruit(1) This is Vyce's class. Also usable by Azelstan. This is one of the most interesting special classes in the game. In addition to a wide array of weapon options, the Ranger may dual wield, just like its predecessor could in the original. Thanks to the highest Dex in the game, dual wielding daggers is no doubt highly effective, but this class can perform well with swords, axes, or bows as well. Noticeably this class can equip Archer exclusive equipment, including the Ji'ygla Bow, which outperforms even the dual dagger setup. The Ranger unsurprisingly gets a number of mobility perks as well, such as learning Swiftfoot II and being able to naturally walk in water. This class is very vulnerable to magic however, especially since the characters that use this class have poor Mnd. Overall the Ranger is a very versatile and effective fighter that should serve your squad well. [Priest] =============================================================================== WT: 26 Movement: 4 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Steal from various Clerics in the Phorampha Wildwood, most easily the Male one on the first map. Equip: Hammer*, Cudgel*, Caster Armour Magic: Spiritsurge, Judgement, Exorcism, Silent Light, Boon of Swiftness, Dispel, Awaken, Innervate, Singing Light, Awaken Stone, Liberate, Cleanse, Cleanse II, Unburden, Hearten, Ease, Heal, Major Heal, Resurrect Skills: Holy Water(6), Absolution(15), Break Curse(18), Seraph's Pact(5) This is Catiua's class. In a lot of ways you can think of this as a super Cleric that can cast Divine attack spells. For the most part it functions the same, except that the lack of Mother's Blessing hurts the Priest's healing potential. Mnd is especially exceptional, and overall you can expect some pretty potent Spiritsurge and Judgement damage. The Holy Water skill is a fine supplement to the Priest's undead destroying capabilities, even though generating the TP can sometimes be difficult especially for successive uses. Absolution counters the scary sounding Condemn, but in practice it is never necessary. Break Curse is yet another one of those highly narrow skills that can't possibly justify taking up a precious skill slot. In the end this class should serve you well as a healer/attacker hybrid, although personally I feel that its counterpart class is more useful. [Princess] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Event - Chapter 4 story Equip: Dagger*, 1H Sword*, Axe*, Hammer*, Cudgel*, Whip, Medium Armour Magic: Non-Dark Targeted Magic, Non-Dark Forbidden Magic, Silent Light, Boon of Swiftness, Dispel, Awaken, Innervate, Singing Light, Awaken Stone, Liberate, Cleanse, Cleanse II, Unburden, Hearten, Ease, Heal + Draconic Magic(Attack spells, Gift of Restoration, Enlighten, Phantom Shell, Holy Shield) Skills: Princess' Whim(10), Lucky Star(20), Holy Water*, Absolution*, Meditate*, Recruit(1), Seraph's Pact(5) The Princess is best compared to the Priest, and generally it performs better. Statistically they are very similar, with the Priest coming out very slightly on top in the magical areas. The Princess loses Spiritsurge, Exorcism, Major Heal, and Resurrection, gaining instead Heavenly Judge and some Draconic Magic. Generally speaking this is a good trade, since Heavenly Judge and Starfall eclipse Spiritsurge and Exorcism, making the only real loss Major Heal. Damage output is not as high as the Priest at first glance, but the Princess' access to the much more powerful Heavenly Judge and Starfall spells means she wins overall. The Priest's best skill, Holy Water, is luckily cross class usable, making the Princess easily the best undead destroyer in the game. Much like the Valkyrie the Princess can use different elements, but it'd be stupid to do so. Also much like the Valkyrie the Princess is advertised as a 'mage-knight', but naturally suffers from all the same problems. Regrettably her weapon options are even more restricted, but should it find itself available the Brynhildr can be put to some good use in her hands, further cementing her position of supreme undead slayer. It is worth noting that the Princess has access to the Meditate skill, which is a great advantage over the Magic Seed reliant Priest. Ultimately the Princess can be a sturdy and flexible character, even if she is no longer the offensive powerhouse from the original. [Dark Priest] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Drop - Cleric in Hanging Gardens Floor 8 Drop - Cleric Templar Knight in Hanging Gardens Floor 18 Equip: Cudgel*, Spellbook, Caster Armour Magic: Non-Light Targeted Magic, Non-Light Forbidden Magic, Drain Heart, Drain Mind, Drain Power, Spellcharge, Torpor, Paralytic Wave, Poison Cloud, Sleep, Charm, Gravity Flux, Whirlwind, Protect, Galvanize, Quench, Flame Fusion, Icy Focus Skills: Bloody Gag(10), Iron Maiden(20), Meditate* This is a top tier attack caster statistically, but the spell options are... very odd and restrictive. Basically the Dark Priest suffers from another case of the Valkyrie issue, being able to cast from elements other than Dark, but gains little from doing so. Even within Dark magic itself the Dark Priest's options are very pick and choose, randomly being able to cast some spells and not others. Its special skills are fairly pointless as well, suffering from poor range and accuracy. Sadly this class is largely a waste of time unless you like the sprite. It IS a pretty cool sprite though. [Paladin] =============================================================================== WT: 33 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Deneb's Shop after recruiting this class AND Deneb Equip: 1H Sword, 2H Sword, Axe*, Spear, Hammer, Cudgel*, Crossbow*, Heavy Armour Magic: Awaken, Innervate, Singing Light, Awaken Stone, Cleanse, Unburden, Hearten, Heal Skills: Phalanx(4), Consecrate Edge(3), Rampart Shadow(10), Sanctuary Shadow(14), Guardian Force(18), Sublime Sacrifice(20), Recruit(1) This is Lanselot's special class. The final class to be unlocked, so how does it measure up? Its pretty clear that this class is a Knight variant, enjoying many of the same benefits. It trades Instill Light for Consecrate Edge, which I'd reluctantly call a good trade, but each has their pros and cons. The Paladin tanks damage about as well as the White Knight, but it does get Phalanx unlike the White Knight, and granting itself Light-touched means its a better damage dealer than both the Knight and White Knight. He'll probably want a strong light element weapon to make good use of his high rank default Augment Light. Sadly the game is nearly done with by the time you get the Paladin, but you will likely be impressed with him if you take the time to play around with the class. [Astromancer] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Deneb's Shop after recruiting this class AND Deneb Equip: Dagger*, Cudgel*, Spellbook, Caster Armour Magic: ALL Missile Magic, ALL Targeted Magic, ALL Forbidden Magic, All Dark Support spells, +Draconic Magic(Attack spells, Detect, Springboard, Teleport) Skills: Eyes of Heaven(3), Stardust Grace(10), Meditate* This is Warren's special class. Statistically the Astromancer is the most powerful caster class in the game, and you'd certainly hope so considering how arduous a task it is to recruit him. For some strange reason this class cannot cast any Support spells except the Dark ones, which is an annoying drawback. Stormspark and Stunslay would've been good additions to its repertoire... The Astromancer can use the elemental Resonance skills, which are direct ports from the Dragon skills, except even less useful due to the usual TP issue. Stardust Grace isn't too awful, since compared to similar skills it at least can't fail, but is nonetheless a dubious use of a skill slot. The Astromancer should be a pretty impressive class overall, if not for the fact it comes so late. [Vartan] =============================================================================== WT: 26 Movement: 5 Fly, 32 Up, 32 Down Classmark: Dropped by many Hawkmen in Chapter 1 Equip: Fist, , Dagger, Axe*, Hammer, Cudgel*, Bow*, Crossbow, Medium Armour Magic: Non-Dark Missile Magic Skills: Huapango Winds(10), El Colas Winds(15), Fey Pact(5) This is Canopus' class, but generic hawkmen can use it too. This is actually sort of a generic class I guess, but whatever. The Vartan exhibits a number of obvious advantages off the bat, such as high movement and of course flight. It is adept at both melee and ranged combat, so it would be wise to play off this strength. As a flyer the Vartan can fly up high to gain an elevation advantage and shoot much farther than normal, a powerful ability indeed. The default setup of Axe+Bow will remain highly effective for most of the game. This class gets two unique abilities, El Colas Winds being by far the more useful of the two. It grants himself and nearby allies Air-touched and Truestrike, adding a good bit of extra damage and accuracy to your attacks. Sadly, at very high levels one handed bows cease to upgrade, a concern that drives many players to resorting to crossbows for this class, or simply abandoning it completely. While this is reasonably effective, this wastes many of the Vartan's best features such as flight and flexibility. There are pros and cons to whichever setup you choose, but careful consideration should be made as switching on the fly to a weapon you have no skill rank in will greatly hamper performance. Just remember: Even without a powerful end game bow this class' damage is more than good enough. [White Knight] =============================================================================== WT: 34 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down Classmark: Event - Chapter 3 story Equip: Fist, 1H Sword, 2H Sword, Axe*, Spear, Hammer, Cudgel*, Crossbow*, Heavy Armour Magic: Awaken, Innervate, Singing Light, Awaken Stone, Cleanse, Hearten, Heal Skills: Paralysis Blade(3), Rampart Shadow(11), Sanctuary Shadow(15), Velocity Shift(18), Guardian Force(19), Recruit(1) This is Gildas, Mirdyn, and Ravness' special class. As the name may suggest, this is an upgrade of sorts to the regular old Knight, yet it doesn't actually strictly improve on it, not in all ways at least. Noticeably this class doesn't actually take damage as well as the Knight, in addition to not getting Phalanx. The White Knight trades Instill Light and Lightguard for a number of status curing spells, which is generally a good trade. This class is offensively superior however, being capable of dealing some decent damage with a strong 2 handed weapon. Generally the White Knight is a lot more useful than its generic counterpart as an almost purely defensive unit is of, as discussed in its section, somewhat dubious value in this game. Instead of Phalanx the White Knight gets 2 unique skills, Paralysis Blade and Velocity Shift. Paralysis Blade is more effective than you might think, effectively nullifying counterattacks and capable of being spread around to many enemies through the White Knight's own counterattacks. With a bit of luck, stunning a lot of your enemies can greatly reduce their offensive potential, so this skill is in fact a pretty strong defense. Velocity Shift is very different, but very powerful if well utilized, almost being a fully accurate Paradigm Shift in many situations. This is a solid class that should serve you very well, as long as you aren't expecting it to be a primary damage dealer. [Shaman] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Chapter 4 Sidequest drop Equip: Hammer*, Cudgel*, Spellbook, Caster Armour Magic: ALL Air, Earth, Lightning, Water, Fire and Ice spells + Draconic Magic (attack spells only) Skills: Nature's Whisper(3), Nature's Touch(10), Meditate*, Fey Pact(1) This is Cistina, Olivya, Sherri, and Cerya's special class. Also usable by Deneb and Iruria. This is an interesting mage variant that is quite powerful. The Shaman trades access to Dark magic for the entire spell sets of the other non-light elements, including the otherwise fairly exclusive Summon, Forbidden, and Instill Element spells. Magic power is lowest of the special character classes, but this is easily made up in other ways. Summon spells offer the highest single damage potential of all spells, often to the point of insane overkill with the level II versions. This class is one of the casters that gets a very worthwhile TP skill in Nature's Touch, significantly boosting the damage of their next spell. A Nature's Touch'd level II Summon will utterly obliterate anything. Consequently this class should consider foregoing the Meditate skill, instead using Magic Seeds and saving TP for Nature's Touch. [Wicce] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Slow, 1 Up, 2 Down Classmark: Deneb's Shop after recruiting this class AND Deneb Equip: Dagger*, Hammer*, Cudgel*, Whip, Spellbook, Caster Armour Magic: Standard Mage Set + Non-Light Forbidden Magic + Draconic Magic (Springboard, Teleport, Negate Spell, Nullify Strike) Skills: Witch's Smile(3), Magic Time!(10), Stirring Kiss(18), Meditate*, Control Golem(1) This is Deneb's special class. Yet another 'super wizard' class, this one's selling point is her Magic Time! skill. Compared to the Englighten spell and Spiritstone of the Stars item, the Magic Time! skill doesn't consume your turn, which is a nice perk and that makes it more usable. TP is still an issue however, conflicting with Meditate the same way Nature's Touch does. That aside this is just another souped up Wizard class that also gets Forbidden Magic, somewhat disappointing for the effort involved. Still, Magic Time! combined with formidable stats makes her into a strong caster, so there's not too much to complain about. [Songstress] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 5 Fly, 32 Up, 32 Down Classmark: Deneb's Shop after recruiting this class AND Deneb Equip: Dagger, Hammer*, Cudgel*, Whip, Instrument, Medium Armour Magic: Song Skills: Echoing Voice(8), Resounding Voice(16), Recruit(1) This is Iuria's special class. Something of an overly specialized support class, if you ask me. The Songstress' unique feature is of course the Song command. Unfortunately, most of these are just buff and debuff spells except multi-target in a point blank radius around her. Most of these are pretty underwhelming by the point you get this class, although mass Spellcraft and MP restore at least has some potential. Mobility is good at least, and with enough skill ranks physical attack damage with instruments is almost passable. Too bad they aren't ranged like the FFT Harps. [Buccaneer] =============================================================================== WT: 25 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down, Swim Classmark: Equip: Fist, Dagger, 1H Sword, 2H Sword, Axe, Whip, Crossbow*, Fusil*, Thrown*, Medium Armour Magic: None Skills: Barricade(6), Evade(8), Speedstar(10), Shadowbreak(12), Back Attack(15), Stirring Kiss(18), Apostate(20), Risk Management(22) This is Azelstan's special class. Also usable by Denam, Vyce, and Canopus. Another class that can Double Attack with daggers, so how bad can it be? For something more fun you can try 1H sword and fusil, recreating a stereotypical pirate look :D That aside, this is one of the better classes, in particular getting the useful Speedstar. This class gets quite a few other skills too, although most of them aren't particularly useful they still serve to help round out this versatile class. The Buccaneer is comparable to the Ranger, enjoying the same movement advantages like Swiftfoot II and swimming, but is probably superior overall thanks to Speedstar. Other than that the Buccaneer is not too different from its counterpart, so you should have a good idea of what to expect from it. [Knight Commander] =============================================================================== WT: 20 Movement: 4 Agile, 2 Up, 3 Down, Swim Classmark: Drop - Possible from most of the Knight Commanders Steal - Zombie Templar Knight encountered when its raining at Reisan or Vanessan. Must have already recruited this class in both cases. Equip: Dagger, 1H Sword, 2H Sword, Hammer*, Whip, Crossbow, Heavy Armour Magic: Missile Magic, Targeted Magic, Heal Skills: Mighty Impact(3), Gordian Key(8), Intimidate(10), First Aid(14), Intercession(14), Shadowbreak(14), Dragonslayer(16), Beastslayer(16), HP Infusion(17), Squash(20), Ivory Tower(23) This is Ozma's special class. AKA the 'Templar Commando', this was a highly longed for class in the original. At long last it is playable, and even in your wildest dreams you would not have imagined how powerful it is. The Knight Commander is very fast, can equip a wide variety of equipment, cast standard attack spells, cast healing spells, walk in water, become invulnerable to physical attack, slay beasts and dragons with ease, use Swiftfoot II and Rampart Aura IV, dual wield, and is an all around powerful fighter. Suffice to say, this is a fairly absurd class! It nonetheless suffers from hybrid issues should to attempt to use it that way, but generally the Knight Commander should excel no matter how you choose to employ it. Realistically, this class' only weakness is vulnerability to status conditions due to the lack of Spell Ward III and IV. ______ Skills ________________ Action & Special +=======================================================================+ |[Mighty Impact] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Warrior(3), Knight Commander(3) | |Usable: Lord | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 40 ||RT:+18 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Cause melee weapons such as swords and axes to score | |automatic criticals with 100% accuracy.

Here's a tip: Many staves are undead slayers, smack | |those undead for significant damage to build up TP! Alternatively, | |a Baldur Shield should be standard equipment for the users of this | |skill, and it can do a bit of damage too. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Break Curse] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Priest(18) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 3 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Remove CURSE, WITHER, and ADDLE. | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Who cares? | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Princess' Whim] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Princess(10) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 40 ||RT:+18 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Remove a debuff from friendly units within 1 tile. | |chance of success increases with rank. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |This blows. | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Lucky Star] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Princess(20) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 35 ||RT:+17 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 3 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Raise the LUCK of friendly units within 2 tiles by | |between 1 and 5 points. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Luck isn't permanent so this is a waste of time. | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Iron Maiden] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Dark Priest(20) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Inflict WITHER and POISON on enemie units within 1 tile. | |Chance of success increases with rank. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |I heard its pro to run your squishy caster into melee for a crapshoot | |chance to inflict crappy status. | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Bloody Gag] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Dark Priest(10) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Inflict SLEEP and SILENCE on enemie units within 1 tile. | |Chance of success increases with rank. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |lol. At least Sleep doesn't suck, but this class can already cast | |sleep normally, so why bother? | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Consecrate Edge] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Paladin(3) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 30 ||RT:+16 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Grant LIGHT-TOUCHED to the user. | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Instill Light, but for TP and cast on the Paladin itself only. Doesn't| |waste your turn, so this is nice in the thick of battle. A nice boost | |to damage as usual. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Sublime Sacrifice] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Paladin(20) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 100 ALL ||RT:+30 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: REVIVE an INCAPACITATED friendly unit by sacrificing the | |unit. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |I don't see the point of this when anyone can use Blessing Stones. | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Eyes of Heaven] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Astromancer(3) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 25 ||RT:+15 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Reveal how many experience points and skill points you | |have earned. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Err.

This isn't terrible, but you can do | |better with your skill slots most of the time. Handy in Stun and | |Petrify heavy environments though, like the lightning and earth | |shrines. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Huapango Winds] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Vartan(10) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Inflict STAGGER and AIR AVERSE on enemy units within 1 | |tile. Chance of success increases with rank. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |This is fairly crappy unless you have something specific in mind with | |that Air Averse, in which case you might be able to put it to some good| |use. Typically though this isn't worth the skill slot. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[El Colas Winds] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Vartan(15) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Grant TRUESTRIKE and AIR-TOUCHED to friendly units within| |1 tile. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Air-touched becomes a significant boost to your units damage, so there | |is almost nothing bad to say about this skill, especially since Vartans| |don't have any other useful skills to spend their TP on besides | |finishing moves. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Paralysis Blade] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: White Knight(3) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 35 ||RT:+17 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Grant STUN-BRINGER to the caster. | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |As described in the White Knight section, this is really pretty good. | |Stunned units can't counterattack, so this effectively renders your WK | |uncounterable, and is good for minimizing incoming damage too when the | |stumble kicks in. Works with your own counters and is cheap in TP too!| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Velocity Shift] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: White Knight(18) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ALL ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Reduce RT of friendly units within 1 tile by the amount | |of TP spent. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Almost Paradign Shift.

Compared to Eyes of Heaven this at least tells you | |something sort of helpful. Still a novelty more than anything though. | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Nature's Touch] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Shaman(10) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Add bonus daamge to the next elemental spell cast. | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |This adds a SIGNIFICANT amount of damage, letting a Shaman slaughter | |tightly packed formations with AOE spells or easily bring down tougher | |targets with Summon spells. Or both at the same time with a Forbidden | |spell. Bottom line: This is the best skill any caster gets. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Witch's Smile] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Wicce(3) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: CHARM enemy units within 1 tile. Chance of success | |increases with rank. Has no effect on female units. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |This is like a super crappy Charm spell.

Has a chance to SHACKLE and HOBBLE. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |This would be sort of nice if the Wicce weren't already able to inflict| |Shackle...but it can, at longer range and without wasting valuable TP | |better spent on Magic Time! | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Echoing Voice] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Songstress(8) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Double the duration of songs. | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Not a bad skill, but songs aren't amazing to begin with. Probably | |better off saving the TP. | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Resounding Voice] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Songstress(16) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Increase the range of songs by 1. | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Frankly this should have been a passive support skill. Oh well. | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Evade] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Buccaneer(8), Hoplite(?) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 70 ||RT:+24 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Grant NULLIFY to the caster, allowing them to completely | |avoid the next physical attack. Note that item effects will also be | |affected. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Generally this isn't a skill that warrants an entire skill slot. Its | |not bad, but the Buccaneer at least has better things to do with its | |skills slots and time. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Apostate] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Buccaneer(20), Hoplite(??) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 75 ||RT:+25 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Render unit immune to magic attack until next attack | |turn. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |This is rather decent, although the TP cost is pretty high. Still, | |it can be very useful in battles with many enemy casters, especially | |sine the Buccaneer is otherwise pretty vulnerable to magic. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Stirring Kiss] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Buccaneer(18) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 2 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: A medium-range ability that blows a memorable kiss at a | |SINGLE TARGET. Removes Shackle and Hobble. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Heh, well, I suppose this is a nod at those dashing swashbucklers and | |such. A direct counter to the Wicce's skill with the same name, but | |this one is probably a bit more useful... | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Intimidate] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Knight Commander(10), Juggernaut(??) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Cause the READIED SKILLS of enemy units within 1 tile to | |FADE. Chance of success increases with rank. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |If this skill were guaranteed success you might do more than glance at | |it, but unfortunately it is not. | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +=======================================================================+ |[Intercession] | +=======================================================================+ |Learned: Knight Commander(14), Patriarch(??) | |Usable: None | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |TP: 50 ||RT:+20 ||Range: 1 ||Area: 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Description: Grant NEGATE to the caster, allowing them to completely | |avoid the next magical effect.

Very nice for the Patriarch though. | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ END.
