Hes much faster, and more resistant to Slash and Strike damage than Thage. Even two levels lower hes got higher attack and defense stats than her, as well as more health. Raki meanwhile is a powerful physical fighter. Weve also got the passive skill Negate, which makes Thage completely immune to all forms of magic. Weve also got Summon IV, an active skill which is currently of no use to us because we have no captured Majin available to us. We have the two spells noted earlier, Pyro I and Malus I.
These will change as we level, and also as we get new equipment.ĭown at the bottom we can see Thages skills (and also her equipment, but well look at that when we can do anything about it). Shes also universally vulnerable to physical attacks. We can see that Thage is somewhat resistant to Fire and Darkness, slightly resistant to Air and Water, vulnerable to Earth, and very vulnerable to Light. Each icon represents an attack type, and the number next to it shows our percent resistance to it. Thage is relatively weak in physical combat but has very powerful magic.īelow that we see our magic and melee affinities. SPD is a special stat, because it wont increase with our level. The higher a characters SPD stat, the more frequently they get turns. Finally, SPD controls the order of battle actions. INT controls how much damage we do with spells. STR, VIT, and MND are behind the scenes stats that are part of the formulas that determine our ATK, DEF, HP, and MDF stats. MDF reduces the damage we take from magic. DEF improves our resistance to physical attacks. The ATK stat controls how hard we hit in combat. In the second column we see Thages stats. Below that we can see her dodge, counter, and critical hit chances, which are right now zero. Her movement type is Ground, which controls her movement ability. Below that is her current and max health, and how much experience she needs to level up. We can see Thages current level and class in the upper left. Heres the status screen for our current main character, Thage. Now lets take a detailed look at our two characters and the status screen. Raki also has a skill, the air spell Aero I. Right now Thage has five casts each of two skills, the fire spell Pyro I and the dark spell Malus I. When we select Skill, we can see what sort of damage each skill we have available to us does, how many more times we can use that skill in this battle, and the base power of the skill. These represent both special physical attacks and spells a character may have access to. Most characters also have access to Skills. Thage is armed with a Librum, which does Strike damage. Hes got Claws that do Slash damage and a slightly stronger Bite for Pierce damage. Raki here is an interesting case, because hes armed with natural weapons. Spears are able to hit a two square area in any direction, and bows are able to hit any one square at a distance. Most weapons can only attack adjacent squares. When we choose Attack, well see a list of the characters available attack modes, what sort of damage they do, their power, and the possible target squares. Most units can only move so far up or down in a single step, so elevation is also important to keep in mind.Īttack, obviously, allows us to use one of our equipped weapons to attack an enemy. A units movement range appears as a radius of blue squares surrounding them. Movement happens independent of any other action they may take, and can happen before or after. The most basic action a unit can take on its turn is to move. Faster units are able to take turns more often. We can see the order of upcoming turns in the lower portion of the screen. In Eternal Poison units take turns one at a time. We will lose if our main character for this map, the witch Thage, is defeated.Īccompanying Thage in this tutorial is Ranunculus, her Guiding Sage (also known as Raki). In this map, we win by defeating all of the Majin. The map starts out with our victory and defeat conditions. While Ill normally transcribe what characters say in battle, its all tutorial stuff this time around so I wont bother. Im not really going to talk about strategy because its pretty much impossible to lose this map. Today were going to learn all the basics of gameplay. Welcome to a very special tutorial edition of Eternal Poison. Of course trash like this is no threat at all. Part 1: Prologue: The Coming of Besek Though the truth of the chain of events may forever be shrouded in mystery, most historians agree that Valdias greatest trials began with the reappearance of the Majin realm of Besek.Īn old acquaintance was being menaced by the Majin, so I decided to intervene.
