In other words, if you desire a Level 2 skillchain, be certain that you are able to complete it. Please be aware, however, that you cannot use a level 2 skillchain effect to be the first part of a level 1 skillchain. Second Weapon Skill : Seraph Blade (Scission) To generate this effect, you begin with an attack that can generate Transfixion and follow it with one that can generate Scission:įirst Weapon Skill : Power Slash (Transfixion) Although I feel that it is good experience for adventurers to learn this type of thing on their own by using various combinations of level one skillchains, I've provided another chart for you to look at:įragmentation = Induration → ReverberationĬreating skillchains in this order generates a "synergy" which works in a manner similar to a magic user's spells or an alchemist's concoctions. To be precise, level 2 skillchains require that you use the right weapon skills in the right order.ĭo you recall the diagram of level 1 skillchains that was shown to you? The marks in that diagram indicate level 2 skillchains. Level 2 skillchains are triggered in the same way as first level skillchains. I feel that perhaps a chart, rather than an explanation, would best aid your understanding: That said, each level 2 skillchain is made up of two elements rather than one. To discuss the difference between skillchains of level 1 and those of level 2 is to discuss a difference in power. I shall be explaining level 2 skillchains to you. That, however, was only a basic explanation of level 1. I must say that I was somewhat apprehensive for a brief moment, but it appears that he presented a thorough explanation of level 1 skillchains. Howzat? D'ya think skillchains are a little more interesting now? The last thing I've got to tell you is that once you've finished your skillchains, you can throw in a spell of the same element as the last skillchain to create a magic burst. No matter what you're fighting, it has a weak point-and when you're gonna use a skillchain, it's best to use one that has an element your monster is weak against. These are the elements of the various skillchains. I forgot to explain the element of each skillchain. The more you link 'em up, the more damage you do! Let's review the skillchain we just looked at:įirst Weapon Skill : Flat Blade
Oh, no! If we have a real big party, we can drop up to FOUR skillchains in a row on the monster, real quick-like. So we can hit monsters with two skillchains in a row.
If one of our buddies does a Fast Blade, he unleashes a Scission skillchain. So now you and I have just done a Detonation skillchain. I can't even remember all the names!īut that's not what we're talking about. And there are more than a hundred weapon skills. You'll figure it out soon enough, just like I did.īut weapon skills often hide more than one skillchain effect, sort of like magic users using different types of spells. Get it? Huh? You don't know what skillchains your weapon skills will lead to? So now I use Gust Slash at just the right time, and presto! We get a Detonation skillchain, and whatever we are fighting gets hurt real bad.
Now we're set up to make either a Liquefaction or Detonation skillchain. So you've just used Flat Blade (which can let loose an Impaction effect). I'll give you an example to make sure you understand real good. Just try to get an effect on the left side to come out right after an effect on the top.
