Skills & Specialties
--------------------
Skills can be learned from knowledge NPCs in towns under the categories of
knowledge, sense, technical, and combat. Leveling skills will unlock various
specialties that allow for item creation and passive benefits while active.
Some skills, for example the skill technology; will permanently increase a
character's strength stat by x10. This effectively equals giving them +10 ATK.
Some skills have more interesting effects that aren't related directly to a
character's stats.
Purity gives increasing Fol with each level.
EMP will provide you with a random item, some fairly valuable.
Determination lowers amount of SP needed to level up skills.
Effort lowers exp to needed to level up.
IMPORTANT: The skill determination should always be leveled first as it lowers
the amount of SP required to level all other skills!

Explanation of Specialties/Item Creation
----------------------------------------
Oracle: Gives random advice, at high levels it may rarely teleport you to the
oracle room.
Music: Allows you to compose and play music for various effects. Music must be
composed with a feather pen before being playable. Each instrument has two
songs that can be composed. The music must not be distorted when played are it
will have no effect. Talents being unlocked (Listening & Rythym sense) are
usually necessary for this to happen.
Notable Songs
The Devil's Aria (Trumpet): Summons a set powerful monster based on music level
of the musician. At level 10 one of the strongest bosses in the game will be
summon Gabriella.
Aria of the Gods (Trumpet): Acts as if talents are unlocked for specific item
creation even if character doesn't have the appropriate talents.
Goddess's Arrival (Violin): Increases success rate and chance of creating rare
items during item creation.
Heroes Arrival (Violin): Summons a random group of enemies based on music
level of the musician.
Train: Lowers statistics of character but increases exp earned after battle.
Scouting: Increases or decreases encounter rate.
Familiar: Summons a bird that can deliver various items. The stock of items
in the store change with each level.
Pickpocket: Gives you a chance at stealing an item from an NPC while having a
bandit's glove equipped in the accessory slot. Odds of success are
significantly increased with the talent Nimble Fingers unlocked. Odds can be
increased further with the accessory Magicians Hand created through machinist.
Pickpocketing NPCs with your party will result in a negative emotion score for
whoever is in the party at the time. It is recommended that you use pickpocket
during private actions with Roddick.
Art: Creates various items. Some of which can used in battle, some that have
effects outside of battle. Magical clay creates dolls & card that cause various
buffs and debuffs. The Jack in the box for random encounters, and the goodie
rare goodie box that give random items. Magical canvas can create various
buffs, exp/fol bonuses, healing spells, and offensive spells. Portraits sell
for fol.
Customization: A lot of customization is randomized when trying to produce a
weapon in the “invalid combinationâ€, this generally frustrating but I
theorize
this is how some of it works. It seems to be influenced by a weapons ATK and
the rarity of the material used in the upgrade. Higher ATK weapons and rare
materials (Meteorite, Damascus, Orichalcum) will be more likely produce
stronger/rare weapons in customization. An increase in customization level
seems to increase the pool of weapons that are producible, making high attack
invalid weapons producible at high customization ranks only. Orchestra and the
song Goddess's Arrival can help. The LUC stat also seems to play a minor role.
Appraising: Allows you to identify unknown items with a spectacle.
Crafting: Creates various accessories from a mineral.
Writing: Creates books related to a specific skill, skill levels up to level 5
can be learned by the character reading it.
Compounding: Creates various healing items and enhancing items for battle.
Cooking: Creates various foods that heal HP/MP outside of battle. Every
character has a favorite food that will significantly heal their HP/MP. These
can dishes can be made randomly through the cooking item creation specialty.
Alchemy: Allows you to turn iron into any mineral based on alchemy level and
if you have Lezard flask. Lezard flask unlocks Mithril, Rainbow Diamond, Rune
Metal, Philosopher's Stones, Moonrock, and Meteorite.
Replication: Allows you to make a copy of various items in your inventory.
Machinist: Allows you to create bombs that do damage and various helpful items
that assist in item creation.
Survival: Creates a random raw material for item creation.
Super Specialties
-----------------
Master Chef: Creates that can significantly heal HP/MP, status effects, and
revive fallen party members.
Orchestra: This super specialty requires music to be learned, a conductors
baton, and four instruments to be usable, these can be purchased in Eckdart.
Creating items while the music plays from Orchestra significantly increases
success rate of item creation and unlocking of talents.
Enlightenment: Lowers stats but increases amount of SP earned at level up for
entire party.
Publication: Creates books that when read by a party member increase affection
score to 8 for author of said book.
Group Appraising: Increases selling price or decreases buying price next time
you visit a shop. Uses up one spectacle.
Blacksmith: Creates various pieces of armor.
Contraband: Creates various items that can net you a lot of money, free levels,
and free items. Lower affection rating between characters and if fails creates
bounced checks will continually drain Fol until sold.
Favorite Foods
--------------
Food that heals a massive amount of HP/MP on a specific character. This is
directly affected by the cook's recipe skill level.
Ashley: Mesona Jelly (Cooking + Vegetables)
Cyuss: Tropical Melody (Cooking + Grains + Adult Character)
Erys: Rice Omelet (Cooking + Eggs & Dairy)
Illia: Crazy Cow (Cooking + Grain + Adult Character)
Ioshua: Escargot (Cooking + Meat)
Mavelle: Sole in Wine Sauce (Cooking + Fruit for some bizarre reason)
Millie: Fruit Parfait (Cooking + Fruit)
Pericci: Fine Tuna Sashimi (Cooking + Seafood)
Phia: Grilled Turban Shell (Cooking + Seafood)
Roddick: Twice-cooked Pork (Cooking + Meat)
Ronyx: Boiled Mushrooms (Cooking + Vegetables)
T'Nique: Salt Rice Ball (Cooking + Grains)
Welch: Chocolate Banana (Cooking + Fruit)
Talents
-------
Talents significant increase the success of item crafting to their field.
Unlocking talents through item creation awards a character with 100 free SP to
spend. It can be advantageous for character to join your party with as few
talents unlocked as possible. Talents can be easily unlocked with Orchestra if
the character is capable of unlocking it. Each character has different odds for
unlocking or starting with certain talents, Fighters can never get blessing of
mana with the exception of Mavelle.
For convenience I've also included this information with talent information for
each character.
Originality increases success chance for crafting & customization.
Taste increases success chance for cooking.
Nimble Fingers increases success chance for crafting, machinist, pickpocketing.
Design Sense increases success chance for art & machinist.
Rhythm Sense increases success chance for music.
Listening increases success chance for music.
Composition increases success chance for writing.
Love of Animals increases success chance for familiar.
Blessing of Mana increases success chance for alchemy.
Animal Instinct increases success chance for scouting.
Special Arts & Proficiency
--------------------------
The primary motivation is to clear up a lot of misconception on special arts
and proficiency. All basic special arts (killer moves for SO2 fans) do not have
uniform upgrade ranks. As far as I know there is a really a lack of good
numbers and actually rank up upgrades outside this FAQ. I have seen that all
basic moves that don’t require a SFT upgrade at 100 and 200 proficiency, this
is false and can be proven with minimal testing. The damage modifiers are
usually rounded to the closest 5% mark, they may be a percentage or two off and
are prefixed with approx. for clarification. Visual upgrades are also fairly
accurate and should act an easy marker of progress.
Spells & Proficiency
--------------------
Spells increase in damage/healing with increases in proficiency. Some spells
for example Southern Cross will increase the amount of stars falling with
increases in proficiency.
Obtaining SFTs & How They Work
------------------------------
After learning an SFT you should max its rank in the skills list. SFT will
allow your characters to learn new special arts at the end of battle with
a random chance after using the related art. For example Thunderclap Blade
becomes Omega Thunderclap Blade after using it in battle with Omega SFT
learned. This chance increases with the level of the SFT.
Four Beasts SFT (Roddicl + Illia + Cyuss)
Obtained during the Trial of Heroes during the story in Van.
Feline SFT (Pericci)
Found in a chest in the Muah Kingdom's treasury.
Bagua SFT (Illia + T'nique)
Found in a chest in the Muah Kingdom's treasury.
Omega SFT (All fighters)
Clear rank C on any character in the Tatroi Arena.
Divine SFT (Illia + T'nique)
Found in a chest in the optional Old Race Ruins treasure rooms after the
optional boss.
God of War SFT (Phia)
Must have had recruited Ashlay or Cyuss
before passing through Astral for the first time. Clear her name by hunting
down the demon impersonating her, then recruit her after obtaining the Astral
emblem. If Phia is rescued from her jail cell she will not learn this SFT.
Wyrmking SFT (Roddick)
You must engage in a PA in Van with Ashley in the weapon shop, the answers
don't necessarily matter but will affect your relationship points with with
him. (No to "Power to defeat my enemies", yes to "Power to build my character"
for best results.) After obtaining the Eye of Truth trigger a PA in Silvalant,
Ashley will ask you to meet him at the castle courtyard, do so and receive the
Wyrmking SFT, your affection rating must be over 9 for this to trigger. You can
fight battles with him and Roddick in the active party until it finally the
affection rating between the two characters is high enough.

Thunderclap Blade (Start)
-------------------------
Stabs the enemy and electrocutes them with lightning, better version of
Roddick’s Thunderclap Blade but still pretty basic. Wind element added to hit.
Costs 5 MP
Rating: **
Max hits: 1
(0-100 Proficiency) 125% ATK per hit.
(100-200 Proficiency) Approx. 220% ATK per hit.
(200-999 Proficiency) Approx. 300% ATK per hit. Visual: Blue afterimage added.
Firestorm Blade (Start)
-----------------------
Slashes the ground and makes fiery eruption. Can hit twice in an AoE, second
hit slightly knocks up enemy, good anti-air potential. Fire element added to
hits.
Cost 6 MP
Rating ***
Max hits 2
(0-100 Proficiency) 75% ATK per hit.
(100-200 Proficiency) 100% ATK per hit. Visual: Blue after image added.
(200-999 Proficiency) Approx. 125% ATK per hit.
Double Slash (Start)
--------------------

vulnerable to attacks if this move is parried.

(0-100 Proficiency) 75% ATK per hit.
(100-200 Proficiency) Approx. 90% ATK per hit. Visual: Blue after image added.
(200-999 Proficiency) Approx. 110% ATK per hit.
Lightray Blade (Start)
----------------------
Turns his sword into a machine gun and shoots out light bullets. Can hit up to
12 times, each hit has small knock back. This art is insanely good and one of
Ashlay’s best. You can often pin and stun lock enemies not immune to light
damage. Adds Light element to hits.
Costs 10 MP
Rating *****
Max hits: 12
(0-100 Proficiency) Approx. 35% ATK per hit.
(100-200 Proficiency) Approx. 40% per hit. Visual: Blue after image added.

Dragon Slash (Level 31 + Four Beasts SFT) In game description wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Releases a dragon from the tip of his sword that shoots across the screen and
damages any enemy it passes through. Decent ranged attack but slow wind up
makes this one impractical, only a single hit but can at least hit multiple
enemies. Adds Water element to hit.
Costs 25 MP
Rating **
Max hits: 1
(0-200 Proficiency) 150% ATK per hit.
(200-400 Proficiency) 225% ATK per hit.

Phoenix Blast (Level 35 + Four Beasts SFT) In game description wrong.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A phoenix whirls in a circle around Ashlay hitting enemies multiple times.
It doesn’t hit enemies directly next to Ashlay making this art sometimes
awkward to use. Hits about 3-4 times each hit has mild knock back that can drag
enemies along for extra hits. Adds fire element to hit.
Costs 32 MP
Rating ****
Max hits: Average 4 with luck.
(0-200 Proficiency) 150% ATK per hit.
(200-400 Proficiency) 225% ATK per hit. Visual: Brighter phoenix flames.
(400-999 Proficiency) 300% ATK per hit. Visual: Blue aura around added.
Omega Thunderclap Blade (Thunderclap Blade + Omega SFT)
-------------------------------------------------------
Ranged version of Thunderclap Blade where Ashlay throws at the enemy stabs them
and then electrocutes them and anything in a small area around the target.
Looks cool.... only one hit but high multiplier can easily hit for 9999 and is
relatively safe to use. Adds Wind element to hit.
Costs 22 MP
Rating ***
Max hits: 1
(0-200 Proficiency) 200% ATK per hit.
(200-400 Proficiency) 350% ATK per hit.
(400-999 Proficiency) 500% ATK per hit. Visual: Blue aura around added.
Omega Double Slash (Double Slash + Omega SFT)
---------------------------------------------
A cool looking technique, Ashlay jumps into the air and spins with his sword
hitting multiple times and then shoots out a shock wave. Hits 4 times can be a
little risky because of wind up as enemies can knock him out of the spin.
Costs 24 MP
Rating ****
Max hits: 4
(0-200 Proficiency) 75% ATK per hit.
(200-400 Proficiency) Approx. 90% per hit.
(400-999 Proficiency) Approx. 110% per hit. Visual: Blue afterimage added.

Shockwave Swirl (Start)

also non-elemental.

Tortoise Smash (Explosive Kick + Four Beasts SFT)
-------------------------------------------------
Summons a tortoise around Iliia and hits every enemy around her multiple times.
Each hit knocks back the target slightly, it’s good for trapping enemies
against the wall. Great move but execution has some lag so positioning is
important, it can rip apart large groups of enemies. Adds earth element to
hits.

Phoenix Blast (Meteor Palm + Four Beasts SFT)
---------------------------------------------
Jumps into the air and shoots out a phoenix that hits the target and explodes
in an area. Unfortunately, Illia needs a significant amount of distance to be
able to jump up and fire off which sometimes leads to Illia running in circles
trying to fire off her attack. Add Fire element to hits.

Divine Strike (Tiger Claw + Bagua SFT)
--------------------------------------
Does a string of attacks where the enemy is knocked in the air and then is
knocked back to the ground and hits them with a spirit blast. If the enemy
parries you will quickly be knocked out of the move. Links in well to normal
attack combos but way too expensive for what it’s worth.

Divine Wrath (Divine Strike + Divine SFT)

Very similar to Divine Strike but she juggles the enemies in the air during the
hits, still overly expensive for what it is. At least it juggles enemies in
the air for most of the combo leaving little chance for interruption.

Arc Crystal (Level 33)
----------------------
This is an interesting move that will stop enemies from moving, small enemies
seem to be more susceptible to this debuff like bunnies. Can actually combo
well with moves like Galaxy. CPU seems to refuse to use this one.

Seal Crystal (Level 37)
-----------------------
Stops enemy from attacking, less useful then Arc Crystal but still has its
uses. Enemies can still walk around so less useful to combo with Galaxy. Some
enemies affected more than others but I can’t really explain this. CPU also
refuses to use this one.

Death Crystal (Level 39)

Highly spammable like Raven Orb but quite expensive, it had it’s uses in the
Cave of Seven Stars but honestly most people will find this irrelevant. Has a
chance to instantly kill an enemy hit.

Southern Cross (Flare Orb + Omega SFT)
--------------------------------------
The weakest of the Omega STFs arts for Mavelle but the cheapest as far as MP,
has some lag while the animation plays that can leave Mavelle vulnerable.
Pretty good move but outshined by the Seventh Star. Adds light element to hits.
Rating ****
Costs 28 MP

Seventh Star (Hail Orb + Omega SFT)
-----------------------------------
Enemies hit area surrounded by a blackhole and is barraged with stars hitting
multiple times. Mavelle has some lag time during the animation of the portal
leaving her a bit vulnerable. Enemy is often staggered in place after the move
connects. Adds light element to hits.

(700-800 Proficiency) Approx. 75% ATK each hit.
(800-999 Proficiency) Approx. 80% ATK each hit.
Galaxy (Thunder Orb + Omega SFT)
--------------------------------
Mavelle summons countless orbs in a whirlwind around herself battering enemies
in range. There is a small lag in execution for the orbs to start to damage
nearby enemies but after that Mavelle is practically invincible while the move
is in action. The highest hit move in the game, proper positioning and timing
can absolutely decimate anything if they aren’t immune to light element. Also
highest damage move in the game. Adds light element to hits.

Power Dance (Start)
-------------------
Percicci jumps in the air and floats there with her cats. A field of light
expands over the ground from where she is, damaging enemies every half a
second. Has a low multiplier limiting its viability but a strong tech none the
less, very effective as an anti-air technique as well.

Approx. 30% ATK per hit.
Panther Charge (Start)
----------------------
Jumps towards the enemy and does a very boring three hit combo. Nothing much to
say here, just do a normal attack combo as the execution time is faster and
the damage will be higher.

Air Kisses (Start)
------------------
Strikes a pose and blows multiple hearts (that increase with rank) at the enemy
that travel to end of the screen. The execution time has a little lag to start
so be careful with your positioning. Overall a very underrated move, at max
rank Percicci can cover the battlefield with hearts, has the highest number of
hits out of all her arts. Best used against large groups of enemies.
Rating ****

Spread Missile (Start)
----------------------
Throws a random fruit at the enemy, it explodes on impact damaging the enemy
and anything in a small area around it. Apples and oranges seem to do base
damage while pineapples do around +65% damage and has a larger explosion
radius. Odds seem to be 1/3 for a pineapple to appear. Pineapples will often
hit for 9999 at max rank. Decent move to attack the enemy at a safe range.

Roundhouse (Start)
------------------
Spins around and kicks the enemy once. Seems to have wonky moving mechanics as
Percicci rarely gets confused and faces the opposite way of the enemy. It’s an
ok technique that has fast enough activation and does combo well with normal
attacks.

Healing Dance (Start)
---------------------
Floats in place and dances with her cats healing the rest of the party.
Percicci can act as a good fighter/healer replacing one of the mages if your
willing to micromanage her a bit, the heal has a small lag time after the dance
completes so timing is key. It seems the AI will use this if a party member
drops below 20% health. It’s a shame it doesn’t heal her as well. Very
efficient as far as MP to healing ratio.

Panic Dance (Start)

Dances wildly in an attempt to stun everyone in the radius of her dance.
Leaves her a bit too defenseless for my taste, outshined by Cutie in the Sky as
far as utility.

Cutie in the Sky (Start)
------------------------
Percicci points in the sky and attempts to distract enemies with cute girls in
bikinis. This can be effective given how fast the execution is but impractical
due to limited arts slots.. Enemies will sit and stare at the girls for a few
seconds (duration seems a little random) or until hit.

Dream Hammer (Panther Charge + Feline SFT)
------------------------------------------
Takes out a hammer and bashes the enemy with it. Slow execution time and no
increase in damage makes this move mediocre at best. Hits do go up with usage
but the move is pretty ineffective as far as damage and utility, at least it
looks cool.

Phia Melle
===============================================================================
Overview
------------
Strengths
Able to equip a shield (free paralysis immunity)
Very strong mid range arts
Powerful multi-hit special arts
Easily staggers enemies in place
Versatile weapon selection
Reflecting Plate gives MP regen
Weaknesses
Limited to 1 accessory slot
Limited access to HIT via weapon
Long execution time on most of her arts
Special arts limited without God of War SFT
Recruitment
-----------
Another complicated one.
If you have either Cyuss or Ashlay in the party you will clear her name and be
able to recruit her while collecting the Astral emblem if you have at least two
free party slots open. She will come with her God of War SFT which gives her
access to three of additional special arts.
If you haven’t recruited Cyuss or Ashlay she will be framed for murder and
imprisoned in Astral castle dungeon. You can choose to free her and help her
escape through Astral caves. If you choose to keep her after helping her escape
you must go to Purgatorium to keep her, after clearing Purgatorium you must
also recruit Ioshua or she will leave with him.
Note: Phia will never have her God of War SFT if you break her out of prison.
Note 2: Phia can join the party temporarily in Autanim if you don't recruit
Cyuss. She will leave when you reach Tatroi, this doesn't affect any future
recruitments. Her equipment will stay the same however her SP points will reset
so feel free to waste them the first time around on Purity for extra fol.
Note 3: Phia can be recruited in the same party as T'Nique if you don't
recruit Mavelle and Ioshua, or put in another way if you only recruit Ashlay
or Cyuss.

Dancing Sword (Start)

on each side. Usually only the middle blade hits the target but others can get
hit in the side fire. Will hit three times at point blank range, there is some
lag after the projectiles are shot out leaving Phia somewhat vulnerable.

Three Volley (Level 29)

on each side. Usually only the middle blade hits but thanks to the homing
projectiles the blade will loop around and try to target again. The other
blades often hit other enemies on the field. Will hit three times at point
blank range, there is some lag after the projectiles are shot out leaving Phia
somewhat vulnerable.

Aqua Spread (Level 31)
----------------------
Shoots out a dagger that hits multiple times, has a mild knock back for each
hit. The projectile goes all the way to the end of the battlefield hitting
anything else it comes across. There is a small lag time before it the
projectile shoots out but almost no lag time after. Lighter enemies such as
(wolf spirits) will be hit a lot more than heavier ones, standard enemies that
don’t get knocked back much take about 4 hits. as long as the enemy is in
contact with the projectile it will do damage at a set interval. Water element
added to hits.

Galaxy SB (Level 37)
--------------------
A spinning blade swirls around Phia hitting anything around her. The projectile
seems to be capped at three hits even if the projectile goes through them
multiple times. Still the multiplier is so high that this move does a ton of
damage. Adds light element to hits.
Rating ***

Victory Terror (Unholy Terror + God of War SFT)
-----------------------------------------------
Jumps into the air and materializes multiple daggers that impale the target.
She’s relatively safe when she jumps into the air unless the enemy is flying,
execution time is pretty good and the amount of hits keeps the enemy staggered.
Simply amazing move that locks enemies up and combos really well with
fighters attacking the same target.
Rating ******
Costs 32 MP

Visual: Pronounced blue aura added +4 daggers.
Sylvan Shot (Three Way + God of War SFT)
----------------------------------------
Shoots out multiple daggers in a straight line towards the enemy. Has a long
delay while projectiles fire off however this improves as it ranks up because
the lag time is filled with the additional daggers. The lag time leaves her
vulnerable but solid move for comboing with other fighters.

Visual: Pronounced blue aura added + 2 daggers.
Unholy Terror (Galaxy SB + God of War SFT)
------------------------------------------
Phia jumps up in the air and launches blades that explode on impact. Suffers
from the same the problem that Illia’s Phoenix Blast, slow execution, requires
significant distance, and damage is mediocre at best.

(200-999 Proficiency) Visual: Blue after image added. Approx. 150% ATK per hit.
Lightray Blade (Level 11)
-------------------------
Shoots light bullets around Roddick in a random fashion. An unwieldy technique
that can be best utilized at point blank range. If you position Roddick’s
blade directly over the enemy they will be instantly hit ten times, however
this is more difficult than it sounds. Highest damage to MP ratio in the
game. Adds light element to hits.

Air Slash (Level 17)
--------------------
Shoots a shock wave from anywhere to the target, one of the longest-range
moves. The long lag time after the shock wave leaves Roddick so keep at a
significant range to fully utilize it’s potential.

Dragon Roar (Level 29)
----------------------
Roddick summons a dragon over him that breaths fire on the enemy. Fast
execution time, fires from a good range, and knocks enemy back each hit. Deadly
move that can keep enemies staggered against the wall of the battlefield from
relative safety.

(200-400 Proficiency) 4 hits, 75% ATK per hit. Visual: Extra breath
(400-999 Proficiency) 5 hits, 75% ATK per hit. Visual: Extra breath +2
Omega Thunderclap Blade (Thunderclap Blade + Omega SFT)
-------------------------------------------------------
Really an improved version of Shockwave Swirl, the shock waves are tighter
allowing Roddick get multiple hits from this technique. Although the delay in
execution leaves he vulnerable to knocked out of it before it actually takes
effect. Adds wind element to hits.
Rating: ***
Costs 25 MP

(400-999 Proficiency) 300% ATK per hit.
Omega Lightray Blade (Lightray Blade + Omega SFT)
-------------------------------------------------
Shootings a shock wave of light to hit all enemies in an area around Roddick.
Fairly decent technique for large groups but there are other techniques
available to him that can do this a lot better. Adds light element on hits.

(200-400 Proficiency) 190% ATK per hit. Visual: Blue afterimage added.
(400-999 Proficiency) 250% ATK per hit.
Dragon Slash (Spirit Strike + Four Beasts SFT)
----------------------------------------------
Releases a dragon from the tip of his sword that shoots across the screen and
damages any enemy it passes through. Decent ranged attack but slow wind up
makes this one impractical, only a single hit but can at least hit multiple
enemies. Adds water element to hit.
Costs 25 MP

Max hits: 1
(0-200 Proficiency) 150% ATK per hit.
(200-400 Proficiency) 225% ATK per hit. Visual: Blue aura added.

Phoenix Blast (Shockwave Swirl + Four Beasts SFT)
-------------------------------------------------
A phoenix whirls in a circle around Roddick hitting enemies multiple times. It
doesn’t hit enemies directly next to Roddick making this art a bit awkward
to use. Hits about 3-4 times each hit has mild knock back that can drag enemies
along for extra hits. Add fire element to hit.
Costs 32 MP
Rating ****
Max hits: 4+
(0-200 Proficiency) 150% ATK per hit.

(400-999 Proficiency) Visual: Blue aura added. 300% ATK per hit.
Blackwyrm Thundersurge (Dragon Roar + Wyrm King SFT)
----------------------------------------------------
This version of Dragon Roar differs as it shoots down towards the ground,
offering more hits but is generally worse against small enemies. However
against large ones, hits get wracked up much more easily. It’s element is a
big
detriment. Dark element added to hits.
Costs 55 MP
Rating ****
Max hits: 7
(0-250 Proficiency) 5 Hits, 100% ATK per hit.
(250-500 Proficiency) 6 Hits, 100% ATK per hit.
(500-999 Proficiency) 7 Hits, 100% ATK per hit.
Bluewyrm Thundersurge (Dragon Slash + Wyrm King SFT)
----------------------------------------------------
Roddick summons a dragon that’s circles around him quickly. Works similarly to
Phoenix Blast however the dragon moves faster and does has a stronger knock
back with each hit. This move also doesn't benefit from free targeting like
Galaxy, it will always try to redirect Roddick directly in front of the enemy.
Water element added to hits. Phoenix Blast will out damage this art under most
circumstances but it's very effective against large enemies.
Costs 55 MP

Max hits: 4+
(0-250 Proficiency) 50% ATK per hit.
(250-500 Proficiency) 55% ATK per hit.

Redwyrm Thundersurge (Phoenix Blast + Wyrm King SFT)
----------------------------------------------------
Shoots a phoenix at the enemy, knocking them back and damaging them while in
contact with it. Lighter enemies that are carried along with the Phoenix and
get hit more times. On average a enemy will be hit about five times. Fire
element added to hits. Mechanically this move is an improved version of Aqua
Spread, as long as the enemy is in contact with the projectile it will do
damage at a set interval.
