Introduction ================== Rondo of Swords/Itsuwari no Rondo is a turn-based strategy RPG, copyrighted and developed by Success/Fun Unit, and is licensed to and published by Atlus U.S.A. Inc. This guide was written by me, Kikuichimonjii at GameFAQs. This is my second guide, and the second for Rondo of Swords. I'm still new to the guide writing business, so if you see any mistakes, let me know via email or through the boards at GameFAQs. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, you can contact me the same way. This guide was written to provide a more detailed description of skills in Rondo of Swords, and to help skill planning. ======================== II. Basics of Skills ======================== When a character in Rondo of Swords reaches 100 EXP, they will level up, gaining an increase in some stats and 2 skill points. While stats are not customizable, skills are, and how well you do in Rondo of Swords is dependent on how you choose to spend your skill points. Though you receive 2 skill points per level up, it does not mean that you can level up 2 skills. Skills have five levels, each costing more skill points to upgrade than the last. Costs are the same for all skills: Level 1: 1 point Level 2: 2 points Level 3: 4 points Level 4: 6 points Level MAX: 8 points As you can see, to max out a skill, you will need 21 skill points in total. That's right, it takes ten and a half levels just to max out one skill. Don't worry though, only a handful of skills are worth getting anyway, the rest are useless. To manage your skills, you must first have access to the pre-battle preparation screen, which is available starting from chapter 2. Select formation, highlight a character, press X, and choose Skills. The first option will let you spend skill points. The second option will let you set skills which you have learned. Remember: Putting points into a skill does nothing until you set it! To set a skill, choose "Set Skills" and choose the skills you want with the A button. When you're done, press X. If you press B, set or removed skills will not be saved. Also keep in mind that only a maximum of 12 skills can be set at any time. It should be noted that some characters come with skills points when recruited, and some already have some skills. In a New Game+, any character you recruited in a previous playthrough will come with 99 skills points right off the bat, and have all their default class skills available. Serdic will have all the skills from his second class as well as first class. However, their skills will be reset to 0, so no, you can't just play through lots of times to max out all skills. :P Some skills are active skills, that is, you must select it in battle to use it. To do this, select a character on the field, and choose either "Skill" or "Magic" to use them. I have listed skills in the following format: #. Name of skill Description Characters that can learn the skill* Comments It will not be in alphabetical order. The game has ordered skills by type and I will order them the same way they would be if it were shown in the game. There are around 180 different skills programmed into Rondo of Swords, but most are unavailable to your characters and are listed for the sake of completion. *Character name and level at which the skill is learnt. Some skills are only learnt after class promotion. In addition, some characters come pre-promoted, such as Alicia and Naji, but I will be referring to their final class as "third class" even though they technically only have two classes. Also, Serdic is a special case. Because his promotion is forced by the plot, it is actually possible to promote at a low level if you've been too lazy to level him up. Because of this, Serdic's first class skills are also in both his second class skill lists, to prevent any missed skills. One last thing to note: The earliest you can promote a character is at levels 15 and 30 for their second and third classes, respectively. You will NOT lose any skills if you choose to promote later than at those levels. ====================== III. Stat Boosting ====================== These are simple passive stat up skills that give bonus points to stats without a drawback. When doing calculations, all final numbers with decimals are rounded down. --------------- 1. Invoke Might --------------- Description: Increases ATK Learned by: Kay LV 1, Izuna LV 1, Serdic (Arch Paladin) LV 1, Serdic (Cold Monarch) LV 18, Ansom (second class) LV 15, Sasha (second class) LV 21 -Increases bonus ATK by 5%*Skill LV (+25% at level MAX). ------------- 2.

Level Range 1 +1 2 +1 3 +2 4 +2 MAX +3 -------------- 5. Invoke Life -------------- Description: Increases max HP Learned by: Ansom LV 1, Margus LV 3, Izuna LV 3, Serdic (Cold Monarch) LV 21, Kay (second class) LV 21, Selmer (second class) LV 18, Alhambra (third class) LV 30 -Increases max HP by 8%*Skill LV (+40% at level MAX). -------------- 6. Invoke Mana -------------- Description: Increases max MP Learned by: Marie LV 3, Arios LV 3, Yumiluna LV 15, Elmer LV 15, Cotton LV 1, Aegil (second class) LV 21 -Increases max MP by 15%*Skill LV (+75% at level MAX). ------------ 7. Sharpshot ------------ Description: Increases accuracy Learned by: Ansom LV 6, Owl LV 3, Sasha LV 1, Alicia LV 1, Naji LV 1, Shino LV 15, Rukia LV 12, Serdic (Arch Paladin, Cold Monarch) LV 15 -Increases accuracy by ?%*Skill LV. Can't really find out how much, since accuracy is a hidden value. ------------ 8. Foresight ------------ Description: Increases agility Learned by: Serdic LV 1, Alberich LV 15, Alicia LV 15, Shino LV 18, Cotton LV 12, Aegil (second class) LV 30, Ansom (second class) LV 18, Owl (third class) LV 33, Sasha (second class) LV 15, Selmer (third clasS) LV 36, Naji (third class) LV 36, Alhambra (third class) LV 39 -Increases evasion chance by ?%*Skill LV. --------------- 9. Vital Strike --------------- Description: Increases chances of a critical hit Learned by: Alberich LV 6, Owl LV 6, Alicia LV 18, Naji LV 6, Alhambra LV 1, Rukia LV 15, Serdic (Cold Monarch) LV 24, Ansom (second class) Lv 21 -Increases critical hit chance by ?%*Skill LV. --------------- 10. Retaliation --------------- Description: Increases chances of a counter-attack Learned by: Serdic LV 18, Owl LV 15, Alicia LV 24, Alhambra LV 12, Serdic (Arch Paladin, Cold Monarch) LV 8, Sasha (second class) LV 18, Margus (second class) LV 27, Rukia (second clasS) LV 27 -Increases counter-attack chance by ?%*Skill LV. --------------- 11. Lion Strike --------------- Description: Increases OB gauge Learned by: Alberich LV 18, Izuna LV 21, Serdic (Arch Paladin) LV 30, Kay (third class) LV 30, Sasha (third class) LV 30, Alicia (third class) LV 30, Naji (third class) LV 42 -Not too sure what this skill does. Apparently it's supposed to increase OB gains, but I need this confirmed. --------------- 12. Valor Bonds --------------- Description: Increases support benefits received from allies Learned by: Serdic LV 3, Marie LV 24, Aegil LV 1, Izuna LV 6, Ansom (third class) LV 30, Kay (second class) LV 18, Selmer (third class) LV 30, Simon (third class) LV 30 -A character with this skill equipped will receive a increased bonuses from the support skills such as Will of War or Defender. Bonus given is 10%*Skill LV. For example: Level MAX Will of War heals 25% of HP of a unit which passes through the character. With level MAX Valor Bonds (50% bonus), the HP healed is now 25*1.5 rounded down, equalling 37%. Just so we're clear, IT IS NOT 25%+50%=75%! The % refers to the percentage of the original number. ----------- 13. War Cry ----------- Description: Increases support benefits given to allies Learned by: None -Unobtainable skill. Just an interesting note: If you somehow have both Valor Bonds and War Cry on a character, these two skills will stack, meaning it is possible to have support bonuses doubled. ----------- 14. Tactics ----------- Description: Increases effect of the terrain Learned by: None -Unobtainable skill. --------------- 15. White Light --------------- Description: Increases chances of recovering from negative effects Learned by: Marie LV 6, Kay LV 6, Yumiluna LV 1, Simon LV 1, Galahad LV 1, Shino LV 24, Aegil (second class) LV 24, Margus (second class) LV 15 -Not sure about this skill. My guess on this skill? Random chance of healing a negative status effect before the effect passes. Testing needed. ---------------- 16. Angelic Word ---------------- Description: Lowers chances of receiving status ailments Learned by: Elmer LV 12, Izuna LV 24, Serdic (Arch Paladin, Cold Monarch) LV 21 , Aegil (third class) LV 33, Sasha (second class) LV 15, Yumiluna (third class) LV 33, Simon (third class) LV 33, Galahad (third class) LV 30 -Adds a resistance to negative status effects by ?%*Skill LV (Testing needed). --------------- 17. True Arrows --------------- Description: Raises the range of arrow attacks Learned by: Naji LV 24, Ansom (third class) LV 36 -Attacking range of archers such as Ansom and Naji is increased. Level Range 1 +1 2 +1 3 +2 4 +2 MAX +3 ---------------- 18. Karma Strike ---------------- Description: Raises counter-attack damage Learned by: Serdic LV 6, Alicia LV 21, Owl (second class) LV 15, Sasha (third class) LV 33, Alhambra (second class) LV 18 -Increases counter-attack damage by ?%*Skill LV. =========== IV. ZOC =========== These are skills related to Zone of Control, better known as ZOC. ZOC prevents enemy units from passing through the unit. ZOC is a very important skill, so much that there is even a section in the tutorial explaining ZOC. Unfortunately , ZOC is only learned by three playable characters, Serdic, Margus, and Aegil, and Serdic only learns ZOC in Path B. Furthermore, ZOC is useless on Aegil because of her poor HP and terrible DEF stats. Bottom line: Margus is the only viable user of ZOC if you choose path A first. ------- 19. ZOC ------- Description: Prevents enemies from passing through the unit Learned by: Margus LV 9, Serdic (Cold Monarch) LV 27, Aegil (third class) LV 30 -Does exactly what the description says. As far as I know, ZOC works 100% at any level, and is only increased to counter Null ZOC. When a character with ZOC and a character with Null ZOC clash, ZOC must be a higher level than Null ZOC for it to work. For example, ZOC level 4 wins against Null ZOC level 3 and below, but Null ZOC level MAX bypasses all level of ZOC. When a unit is blocked by ZOC, they pushed to a specific square regardless of their original path. This is the pattern followed if squares are occupied: |13| |14|5 |15| |16|6 |1 |7 |17| |18|8 |2 |X |3 |9 |19| |20|10|4 |11|21| |22|12|23| |24| X is the tile occupied by the unit with ZOC. The numbers indicate the order of squares in which a unit will be deflected to, for example, if squares 1 and 2 are occupied, then the unit will be deflected to the square directly east of the unit. Sometimes a unit with ZOC might counter-attack. In this situation, the ZOC pattern does not apply, the unit attacking will be deflected to the closest empty square on their original path. ZOC can activate even when the unit successfully dodges. ------------ 20. ZOC Gift ------------ Description: Prevents enemies from passing through an ally unit Learned by: None -Unobtainable skill. ------------ 21. Null ZOC ------------ Description: May ignore enemy's ZOC Learned by: Alberich LV 12, Sasha LV 9, Cotton LV 18, Serdic (Arch Paladin) LV 24, Igraine (third class) LV 36, Kay (third class) LV 33, Margus (second class) LV 15, Rukia (third class) LV 30 -Allows the unit to sometimes pass through a character with ZOC. An equal level or higher level of Null ZOC than the level of ZOC is needed to bypass ZOC. ===================================== V. Stat Boosting (with penalties) ===================================== These are like the stat boosting skills in section III, but these skills come with a drawback: they increase stats at the price of lowering another. ---------------- 22. Rapid Strike ---------------- Description: Increases ATK and lowers critical hit chances Learned by: None -Unobtainable skill. -------------- 23. Blind Rage -------------- Description: Increases ATK and lowers accuracy Learned by: Alberich LV 1, Izuna LV 18, Kay (second class) LV 15, Owl (third class) LV 30 -Increases bonus ATK by 5%*Skill LV (+25% at level MAX) and decreases accuracy by ?%*Skill LV. --------------- 24. Brute Power --------------- Description: Increases ATK and lowers MAG Learned by: None -Unobtainable skill. ------------- 25. Daredevil ------------- Description: Increases ATK and lowers DEF Learned by: Sasha LV 6, Serdic (Cold Monarch) LV 33, Ansom (third class) LV 33, Naji (third class) LV 30 -Increases bonus ATK by 5%*Skill LV (+25% at level MAX) and decreases bonus DEF 4%*Skill LV (-20% at level MAX). ------------ 26. Nobility ------------ Description: Increases ATK and lowers DEF and SPEED Learned by: None -Unobtainable skill. For some reason, they're calling agility SPEED here. -------- 27. Rook -------- Description: Increases DEF and lowers counter-attack chances Learned by: Margus LV 1, Rukia LV 9, Serdic (Arch Paladin) LV 27, Alicia (third class) LV 33, Alhambra (second class) LV 24 -Increases bonus DEF by 5%*Skill LV (+25% at level MAX), decreases counter- attack %. ------------ 28. Garrison ------------ Description: Increases DEF and lowers ATK Learned by: Serdic LV 15, Simon LV 21, Margus (second class) LV 21, Alicia (third class) LV 36, Rukia (second class) LV 21 -Increases bonus DEF by 5%*Skill LV (+25% at level MAX), and decreases bonus ATK by 5%*Skill LV (-25% at level MAX). ---------- 29.

Berserk ----------- Description: Increases critical hit chances and lowers accuracy Learned by: Shino LV 12, Ansom (third class) LV 39, Owl (third class) LV 36 -A surprisingly small number of characters can learn this skill. Increases critical hit %, and decreases accuracy. --------------- 34. Wisdom Lock --------------- Description: Increases MAG and lowers DEF and SPEED Learned by: Marie LV 27, Shino LV 27, Aegil (third class) LV 36, Igraine (third class) LV 30, Selmer (third class) LV 33, Arios (third class) LV 33, Yumiluna (third class) LV 36, Elmer (second class) LV 18 -Increases bonus MAG by 5%*Skill LV (+25% at level MAX), decreases DEF by 4%*Skill LV (-20% at level MAX) also decreases agility. The game refers to agility as SPEED yet again here. Just another strange inconsistency... ---------------- 35. Stance Shift ---------------- Description: Increases counter-attack chances and lowers DEF Learned by: Owl (third class) LV 42, Sasha (second class) LV 24, Alicia (third class) LV 39 -Increases counter-attack %, and decreases DEF by 5%*Skill LV (-25% at level MAX). ============== VI. Support ============== These are skills that give bonuses to units when they pass through a character. In order for these to work, the unit with the skill must not have already moved . In addition, these skills are temporary. Their bonuses end as soon as the unit stops moving. All of these skills are stackable with each other, though only one will be shown if a character has more than of these skills equipped. ------------- 36. Aggressor ------------- Description: Increases ATK for allies who pass through you Learned by: Marie LV 33, Aegil LV 18, Elmer LV 12, Izuna LV 30, Rukia LV 15, Serdic (Arch Paladin) LV 21, Alicia (third class) LV 30, Simon (third class) LV 36, Alhambra (second class) LV 27 -A unit passing through a character with this skill equipped receives an ATK bonus of 3%*Skill LV (+15% at level MAX) until their turn ends. ------------ 37.

Learned by: Ansom LV 9, Sasha LV 9, Alicia LV 12, Elmer LV 9, Naji LV 12, Shino LV 24, Kay (third class) LV 33 -A unit passing through a character with this skill equipped receives an accuracy bonus of 3%*Skill LV (+15% at level MAX) until their turn ends. --------- 39.

(Confirmation needed) ======================== X. Additional Effects ======================== These skills add certain effects to your attacks. They include draining HP, cutting MP, and inflicting status effects. All these skills are stackable, however, a unit can only have one status effect at a time. If a unit has multiple status inflicting skills, certain ones take priority over other ones. A rough order, from high priority to low priority: Clumsy Leak Dazed Sap Glass Tired Crazed Scared Stuck Timid For example, if Sasha has First Strike (Timid) and Befuddle (Dazed) set, and they both activate, the enemy unit will end up with Dazed status because Dazed is higher on the priority list. One thing to note: Most of the unobtainable status inflicting skills can be found on certain enemy units. Always check the info of enemy units so as not to be caught off guard by a status ailment! ---------------- 60.

(Testing needed) -------------- 113. Conqueror -------------- Description: Increases the OverBreak gauge Learned by: None -Unobtainable skill. ================ XIV. Active ================ These are skills that are used by selecting a unit in battle and choosing the "Skill" option in the menu. All of these skills are self-targeting only, they cannot be used on other characters. Furthermore, there is no MP cost to use these skills. Certain active skills that last longer than 1 turn can be stacked. Using those skills twice will double the bonus and penalty. Using those skills three times will multiply the bonus by 2.5x, but the penalty will be multiplied by 3x. Using Lion Rage level MAX as an example: 1 use: +50% ATK, -40% DEF 2 use: +100% ATK, -80% DEF 3 use: +125% ATK, -120% DEF Duration of effect is not extended when stacking these skills, each use of the skill has its own separate counter. --------------- 114.

When activated, skill will last until the start of next turn. Comment: Useless skill? It doesn't seem like there is any way to put the bonus critical chance to use because no action can be taken after using a skill, and the fact that the skill's effect doesn't carry on into the next turn. If anyone knows how this skill can be used, please let me know. ----------------- 116. Knight Codex ----------------- Description: Increases MC Learned by: Serdic LV 1, Kay LV 1, Margus LV 3, Simon LV 1, Alicia (third class ) LV 30 -Increases MC gauge by 5*Skill LV (+25 MC at level MAX).

===================
XV. Magic Spells
===================

Pretty self-explanatory. These are the magic spells of this game, they are the
skills with blue boxes in the skill window. In Rondo of Swords, there are
five elements spells come in: Fire, Ice, Thunder, Light, and Dark. However,
one difference from other games with elemental magic is that no units have any
sort of weakness or strengths against any particular element without using a
skill. All spells cost MP to use, and most have different ranges.

For the sake of reducing the length of this guide, I won't show the range of
each spell in a diagram, because many spells share the same range. I will show
the diagrams just once, and refer to them in the skill.

Some spells not only target enemy units, but your own as well. Use these spells
with caution!

172. Manafont
-------------
Description: Gives MP to a selected ally

Learned by: Igraine (third class) LV 30

-Testing needed. This skill *seems* to not work based on percentages, but this
needs to be confirmed. What I do know:

-The user of this skill needs MP to use this skill (obviously)
-If the user of this skill does not have enough to give at a certain skill LV,
the amount of MP given will equal the MP the unit had at the time, minus 1.
-It seems like level 1 heals quite a bit. Tested with a 326MP unit on a 999MP
unit at 499MP, and it drained 325 MP from the first unit.
-On another test, with the same 326MP unit on another unit with 0MP out of 75
MP, it healed all 75MP. I concluded that this skill does not work on
percentages based on this and the above result.
