Introduction
************
First off, the purpose for this guide is to cover aspects and sections not
covered in the other guides. Writing things that are already covered would be
needless and repetitive. I feel that some information like stats growth is
important so I will be including them. I can understand English perfectly but
Chinese to an acceptable degree so I know most part of what the game is talking
about. Feel free to mail me to translate them. Most of my in-depth knowledge
comes from my experience and specific websites. You may find them in the
conclusion section. Lastly, most of the names of characters, spells, items, etc
are deprived from HeavenFury's guides since there are no official names and
it's hard to have a fixed unofficial name.

::::::::::::::::::::::
Attack Damage Formulas
::::::::::::::::::::::
Attack Damage = (AP - DP) * 0.9 to (AP - DP)
The following formulas are Sword Masters' special attacks, they are the only
spells that are based on your AP.
Dragon Strike's Attack Damage = (AP * 1.35 - DP * 0.9) to (AP * 1.5 - DP)
Flame Blade's Attack Damage = (AP * 1.075 - DP * 0.9) to (AP * 1.185 - DP)
Sonic Sword's Attack Damage = (AP * 1.619 - DP * 0.9) to (AP * 1.792 - DP)
Mournful Cut's Attack Damage = (AP * 1.82 - DP * 0.9) to (AP * 2 - DP)
Evasion = (HIT - EV) / 100
Recovery = MHP / 5
::::::::::::
Stats Tables
::::::::::::
These stats tables are useful if you want to have a dream team. I have included
a comparison table to see which character shines the most in a certain area.
+++++++++++++
Basic Classes
+++++++++++++
These classes are the most basic classes. Most characters can change jobs using
a special item, if you are going for a more advanced class. Every job changes
take place in a church. The only classes that do not need to upgrade are
robots, ninjas and ??? (Dirksen's class). By the way, robots have a maximum
level of 99.

The basic classes can be upgraded to these classes without any items. Of
course, it's not recommended because compared to the special classes they have
weaker stats growth. The only class that have no item requirements is the
Dragon Swordsman.

These special classes are only available through certain secret items scattered

must never miss are the Badge of Bravery (Thor) and the Covenant of Fairy (Yoni)
no matter what you do.

:::::::::::::::::::
Comparison of Stats
:::::::::::::::::::
Here, I will compare the stats growth of every character and determine the
highest stats growth for an attribute. Note that characters who join at a later
stage of the game might have lower stats compared to a character who join early
when they are the same level. It may not be true but after many games I realise
that characters who joined at a later stage seems to be weaker than the initial
ones.
For example, only Dino is mediocre in the early stage because his attack
is too weak, even Marlene, a mage beats him. In the later stage, the number of
s**tty ones increase like Roland and Sarah, and Dino beats them in terms of
usefulness. So, you decide who you want to have in your party.
For me, sometimes I choose characters who have flashy attacks like Baker (2nd
class) and Carlos (KAMEHAMEHA).
Things like HW (Holy Warrior) are classes and besides it is the average stats
growth number. Due to the limit size of the rows I have to squeeze everything.

Miscellaneous Information
*************************
::::::::::::::::
Feathers of Wind
::::::::::::::::
In this game, there are 4 ways to increase your character's mobility. The first
one is the Teleport spell, which are available through Thor, Yoni and Marlene.
The second way is to use the Staff of Teleportation (you can get it after
killing the Wind God). The third is to use Vigor. The last way is by having your
character using the Feather of Wind item on himself. The total amount of
Feathers of Wind in the game is 11, excluding the ones you get from secret
shops.
Chapter 4: (17,2)
Chapter 8: (4,44)
Chpater 13: (22,16)
Chapter 17: (25,18)
Chapter 21: (34,20)
Chapter 22: (23,25)
Chapter 24: (21,23)
Chapter 25: (6,26)
Chapter 27: (17,48)
In chapter 12, one of the orcs on the left cave has the item.
In chapter 24, a dragon swordsman that appears with a dragon knight and another
dragon swordsman on the top left corner.
::::::::::::::::
Secret Treasures
::::::::::::::::
There are 2 secret treasures locations that are not covered in the another
guide.
Chapter 3: (15,26) hides the Long Bow.
Chapter 12: (17,16) hides the Magic Staff.
:::::::::::::::
Power Levelling
:::::::::::::::
Want to defeat Reed and his elite knights in chapter 6 but got crushed
instead? Fret not, I will explain how to do it here by levelling up the slow
and boring way.
Power levelling in Flame Dragon 2 is simply trapping an enemy with surroundings
like hills or characters and force the enemy to recover by forcing him to end
its turn. After that, attack the enemy, gain EXP, retreat if necessary, repeat.
Seems easy? Maybe. But there are limits and criteria to fulfil.
The limit is that you must end the chapter in 255 turns. Failure to do so will
crash the game.
You must satisfy 4 criteria. The trappers must have high DP, so Gaia takes up
this job easily. The prey must have low AP so that he can't attack the trappers
at all. The one who is being trained to level up, or trainee must have low AP
so that the prey will not be killed in one hit. The last criteria is the
enemy must not have any MP, or activatable items like Magic Staff to attack
you.
So it's...
- trappers must have high DP.
- trainees must have low AP.
- preys must have high DP.
- preys must not have any spells or activatable items.`
The most efficient way to increase trappers' DP is moving them up in a specific
terrain. Trees have -5AP and +10DP. Air or sea has +0AP +0DP. Normal terrain
has +5AP +0DP.
A way to lower trainees AP is making them use the weakest weapon possible.
The only way to increase your prey DP is the same as increasing your trappers'
DP which is changing their terrain stats.
And unfortunately, there's no solution to the last criteria unless you make him
waste all his spells.
If you want to waste Reed and his knights, I recommend you to power level Yoni
to level 21 until you learn Dragon Flame magic. It's a 1 hit KO, no questions
asked.
