------------
v1.32
"both sides" added to all attacks that can target both sides of a Pincer/Side
attack.
Intro edited to clarify this.
Warp's aiming corrected (was Hits caster, it actually strikes a random ally).
Warp Stone's function corrected, as a recent bug discovery revealed the targets
made
no difference, the party will run no matter what, even if there aren't any
targets.
Mute moved to Enemy Spells from Dummy Spells, as Naughty appears to make use of
it.
First version submitted to GameFAQs in a loooonnng time. :)
------------
------------
v1.3
Intro edited to accomodate a small explanation behind the (?) tags and the
Invert
damage if Undead's listing in attacks.
Added Invert Damage if Undead property back to attacks it doesn't affect.
New status section. Status included are Poison, Regen, Seizure, and HP Leak
(Phantasm). Other sections renumbered in accordance (Status explanations and
Greetz and Thanx).
Sketch added to Command Attacks section.
Items section overhauled; all but the Super Ball info is new.
Suplex note added, special effect description changed in accordance.
Tapir's special effect added.
Bahamut added to Slot section.
Joker Doom stats added from Slot guide.
Lagomorph aiming description edited.
Miscellaneous section edited to add Magical attack to skean properties.
Tapir (called during Sleep status) added to Miscellaneous.
Inviz Edge and Shadow Edge added to Miscellaneous.
(added 7:03 PM 8/24/2004)
Note added to and stats changed for Mind Blast in Enemy Spells section.
------------
------------
v1.2
New miscellaneous attacks section. Skean spells (ex.: Ninja) and Umaro attacks
are
included in this section, along with Doom (Condemned status).
Strength changed to Bat.Pwr, since that's actually what it is. Dunno why I
seperated
the two.
Enemy Roulette added to commands, listed only as Roulette for you sane
Ctrl+F'ers.
Doom special effect description changed to include enemy Roulette and Doom as
used by
Condemned status in list of users.
Empowerer modified to fit HP/MP strength in accordance w/ special effect.
Lagomorph's stats corrected (Blind was listed instead of Dark).
Roulette Lore note changed due to Roulette command addition.
Absolute 0 error corrected, now has Ice-elemental proerty listed.
Wind Song error corrected in Dance section; Wind Slash correctly listed.
The status section now has data on which status prevent Near Fatal attack use
and
learning Lores, as to prevent any confusion between this doc and Terii's
Algorithms
doc.
Speaking of the status section, Haste/Slow had their approximate effects on
Speed
taken out since they were just guesses on my part. See Terii's docs if you want
to know the real effect, since I'm not going to list their equations in the doc.
------------
------------
v1.101
Very small tidbit added to Retort status description; causes physical attacks to
have a perfect hit rate against the affected.
Version not submitted to GameFAQs (it's only one changed line!).
------------
------------
v1.1
Order switched around to fit the game's spell list a tad more accurately. Not
every
attack is on the spell list, but I used it as a guide to get to an order such as
this.
SwdTech and Tools alphabetized finally. How did those slip by...?
Runic info added to command attacks and status explanations.
Enemy Runic info added to status explanations.
Retort info added to status explanations.
Minor SwdTech notes added to the beginning of the section and to Retort.
First version submitted to GameFAQs.
------------
------------
v1.01
Version history added beginning with v1.0.
Missing Health info added.
Took out (Invert damage on Undead) tags on Acid Rain and Virite. I totally
forgot
to mention that property didn't work, so I just took it out instead of leaving a
note.
------------
------------
v1.0
First completed version of the attack doc.
------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Intro
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These, my friends, are the exact stats on each and every attack in the game
(excluding
enemy Special moves since those are in my Monster Stats doc). In this you can
find
out the true powers of Goner and Air Anchor, what Blitz is really the strongest,
the powers that are Crusader and Quadra Slice, etc. I have also given you the
special
effect hex numbers of the attacks in case you want to use them in hacking the
game
(ex. 57h is what gives Air Anchor its "Move, and you're dust!" and instant death
protection properties). Some moves, like Capture and Fight, aren't given here
because their stats can vary heavily depending on equipment (of course, if I get
enough demand for Capture I will list it since it seems very restricting on
weapons).
Not Reflectable is put in by a bit in the Magic Stats, but since so many attacks
are unreflectable I'll simply list "Reflectable" if it can be reflected. Some
sections,
such as Magic and Espers, may not list Magical or Physical damage. For those,
always
assume all attacks listed are based on Mag.Pwr unless specified otherwise.
All moves are sorted in alphabetical order, numbers first (if any), according
to their
respective sections. If you still can't find an attack, use Ctrl+F or whatever
opens
the Find or Search or whatever it's called function to find it.
I have also listed if a given attack can strike both sides of a Pincer/Side
attack. If
this is true, the words "both sides" will appear in the aiming description.
Also, damage equations are not listed since there is a document on them
already. Give
Terii Senshi's Algorithms FAQ a look through for that. However, all statuses
are
explained in their own section if you need to know about them.
One last note; the (?) tags are for properties I don't think have an effect, and
Invert damage if Undead will be listed with an asterisk (*) in spells where a
bug in
the property keeps it from having an effect (see the Glitches and Bugs guide).

2. Command Attacks

Revert
Physical attack (ignores Clear ala Item)
Targets self
Removes Morph status from target.
Unblockable
Roulette
<-----NOTE----->
This is the enemy version of the spell,
as cast by a special command (1Eh in
the menu if it were accessible from
there). The reason for two seperate
listings is due to different properties
(this Roulette is a modified Doom).
Please note that this can only be cast
by an enemy if it comes from their
command script or counterattack script,
any other way will make use of the Lore
version instead (although coming from
an enemy, the aim will not be random).
Also, please note that the MP cost and
Learn if cast property are assumed and
not in this spell's stats, they come
from the Lore Roulette because its
stats are loaded for the initial cast
(just before the random cursor is
launched), probably just for those two
reasons. Finally, Learn if cast is
listed since this spell isn't in the
Lore section, where the property is
just assumed to exist in all listed
spells.
<-----NOTE----->
Magical attack (ignores Clear ala Item)
Hits a random target
MP cost: 10

Runic
<-----NOTE----->
While Runic the command cannot be used
without a sword, this only goes so far
as to gray out the command when you
have no sword. If you are muddled, etc.,
you can still use Runic automatically.
<-----NOTE----->
Physical attack (ignores Clear ala Item)
Targets self
Casts Runic status onto target.

5. Items
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<-----NOTE----->
Spell-casting items such as Fire Rod, etc. are not included. See the spells
stats in the Magic section, but remember that they do not remove Clear, are
unblockable, ignore defense, and only deal maximum damage possible if used
by breaking an item (they're known as Item magics by some).
About items in general; they ignore the Clear status and usually don't miss
on their own unless something else interferes, like Fenix Down hitting a
living target for example.

This is exactly the same as

Umaro's tackle
Physical attack
Hits one enemy
Bat.Pwr: 198
<-----NOTE----->
This is actually dependent on Umaro's
Bat.Pwr stat. However, since Umaro cannot
equip another weapon, I went ahead and
listed Umaro's Bat.Pwr with the Bone Club
so you wouldn't have to go look it up.
<-----NOTE----->
Unblockable
Ignores defense, retargets if target is dead.
Umaro's throw
Physical attack
Hits one enemy
Bat.Pwr: Variable (198 + throwee's Bat.Pwr (both hands))*
Unblockable
Ignores defense, retargets if target is dead.
Special effect:
If Mog is thrown, increase damage**
<-----NOTE----->
The reason for the stars? In typical NOTE format, it became hard on the eyes
to read Umaro's throw stats, so I opted for just a long, note-format-breaking
NOTE instead.
* - The Bat.Pwr equation is as follows:
(projectile left hand) + (projectile right hand) + (umaro battle power)
When it overflows, the Bat.Pwr is set at 255, which is really easy to do since
Umaro has 198 Bat.Pwr. Only 57 Bat.Pwr would be needed to reach max Bat.Pwr.
If the character is really strong in this stat, it will only add 254, but it
still
overflows and hits 255 Bat.Pwr anyway.
** - At least that's what the code seemed to indicate, but no test has provided
convincing evidence that this is indeed true. Take this effect with a grain of
salt, as it could very well be wrong info.

19. Status Explanations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All status (except the last 7) can potentially be healed through spells or some
other method (most methods, excluding all items, are listed either here or in
some other part of the spell list). Please note the last 7 are special and
cannot be healed through items or spells. The status are listed in the order
the game has them in, except the last 7 which are listed alphabetically.
Finally, any status that would allow the game to consider someone dead prevents
Near Fatal attack use and Strago from learning Lores. Please note however that
once a Lore has been cast while Strago is capable of learning Lores, the only
way you can't learn it from there is to lose the battle or run away. So long as
you win, it doesn't matter what Strago's condition is at the end of battle, just
what it was when the Lore was cast.
Dark - No effect. Originally intended for cutting inflicted enemy/character's
Hit
Rate in half. The only effect it has is that it prevents Strago from
learning
any Lores cast while he has the status.
Zombie - Drops HP to 0, attacks a random target, considered dead.
Poison - Takes off HP at increasing intervals using the poison elemental. It
can
be nulled or absorbed for HP through elemental defenses.
MagiTek - Most special abilities are unusable, Fight replaced with MagiTek. If
inflicted to at least 1 character before a battle begins, all
characters
will be piloting MagiTek armor regardless of everyone else's status.
MagiTek cannot be healed w/out usage of Rippler unless the game itself
removes the status (only while hacking the game will you be able to
heal
MagiTek with Rippler). Even gaining Wound status cannot heal MagiTek.
Clear - Inflicted is invisible. Invulnerable to physical attacks, but will
always
be hit by Magical attacks. Some status spells and Ragnarok may still
register a Miss message and take away Clear, while other spells may
miss w/
no message. Also, inflicted temporarily loses instant death spell
protection
and Reflect status' protection should they have it while inflicted w/
Clear.
Finally, you can't use Near Fatal attacks with this status.
Imp - Loss of most special abilities and spells w/ exception to the spell Imp,
able
to make full use of the 4 pieces of Imp equipment (Titanium, etc.) Some
enemies (Number 024, etc.) also gain the ability to always perform
critical
hits while inflicted with Imp. However, it should be noted this ability
cannot be given to characters by inflicting Rage before Imp.
Petrify - Inflicted is inoperable and considered dead, but becomes invincible to
all HP/MP change, healing or damage. Characters can still be killed
by
instant death spells even w/ Petrify (X-Zone, etc.).
Wound - Dead. Inoperable, in normal cases has 0 HP. This is set automatically
when
HP reaches 0 or below through means of attack.
Condemned - Counter over target's head. At the end, an unblockable Doom is cast
on the inflicted, which kills the target unless it is undead or
protected from instant death (Condemned is its own status, blocking
death will not block Condemned status but will block the Doom spell
that comes when the counter hits 0).
Near Fatal - Allows a character to use a Near Fatal attack. No known effect on
enemies, though some are immune to it. Always set at 1/8 HP,
immune or not. Can usually be cured by getting higher than 1/8 HP,
but not if it is set in an immune target (Rage can provide this w/
an
immune monster, allowing someone like Gogo to use Near Fatal
attacks
at full HP).
Image - Protects inflicted from physical attacks that are not unblockable and
don't have perfect hit rates (255). Each time such an attack is
blocked by
Image, however, there is a 1 out of 4 chance the status will be taken
off.
So long as Image is intact, the user cannot use a Near Fatal attack.
Mute - Blocks the use of Magic and Lore.
Berserk - Forces inflicted to Fight/Battle every turn, while providing an
increase
to physical damage done. Those inflicted w/ Rage as well ignore the
Always Fight/Battle rule however and just get the physical damage
increase.
Muddled - Inflicted automatically selects commands and targets random teammates
including itself. However, if a command was already chosen before the
target was struck, the target will still use the command it selected,
but the aiming will be randomized again. It can be cured by physical
attack as well as spells. Near Fatal attacks can't be used in this
state,
and Lores can't be learned either.
Seizure - Does small amounts of magic-based damage to inflicted at random
intervals.
Sleep - Called Psyche in FF3us (?), this will stop the target and cause attacks
to have a perfect hit rate on the inflicted until it wears out (The
Tapir
spell's animal will pop up to awaken the target). Can be cured by
physical
attack. Lores can't be learned in this state.
Dance - Inflicted randomly uses one of 4 preset spells on the enemy party
through the
use of a particular Dance. If it is somehow set w/ no selected Dance,
one
will be chosen seemingly at random. Cannot be cured except through
death
or Rippler, or if another character changes the background with their
own
Dance, allowing the other character the chance to stumble.
Regen - Gives HP at random intervals to inflicted, however if it is undead Regen
will cause damage instead. Ribbon is the only item that blocks Regen
since Seizure immunity also affects Regen status and vice versa.
Slow - Reduces inflicted's speed.
Haste - Increases inflicted's speed.
Stop - Stops the target and causes attacks to have a perfect hit rate on the
inflicted until it wears out. Also prevents Strago from learning Lores.
Shell - Reduces magical damage done to inflicted by 1/3. However, spells and
attacks
that ignore defense will also ignore Shell.
Safe - Reduces physical damage done to inflicted by 1/3. However, attacks that
ignore defense will also ignore Safe.
Reflect - Bounces off certain attacks and spells on inflicted back at a random
enemy.
Also creates vulnerability to the Reflect??? Lore. Clear status voids
Reflect's protection, however.
The next 8 status cannot be defended against in the normal game, and all after
that
are special status inflicted via special effects in spells and attacks.
Rage - Character uses one of two attacks of an enemy, either a random one or one
chosen from the Rage command's menu. The inflicted also gains certain
stats
of the enemy as well, including elemental and status protections, special
stats (undead, human, dies at 0 MP), etc. No known effects on monsters.
Prevents Strago from learning Lore abilities.
Freeze - Even longer than Sleep and Stop, it stops the character and causes
attacks
to have a perfect hit rate until it wears out or the target is hit
with a
Fire-elemental attack. Like Sleep and Stop, Strago can't learn Lores
in
this state either.
Life 3 - Casts Life on the inflicted should they gain Wound status, then
disappears.
Obviously will not work on the undead since they will block Life when
dead,
however, it can be used to ensure that an undead monster dies when
struck
by the Doom spell or a weapon such as the Striker. This tactic doesn't
work on undead characters.
Morph - Doubles attack and defense for a limited time. That time is determined
by
the number of Magic Points Terra has gained in battles. Switching this
status between targets through the use of Rippler sometimes causes the
green bar not to appear and in turn gives Morph no duration time limit.
Magic chant - An unnamed status, this is what you get when a target successfully
hits a monster with Control. Has no effects other than the
permanent
magic chant stance given for the length of its duration.
"Hide" - A status that hides the inflicted's sprite and causes it to no longer
be vulnerable to manual targeting. This is given by Jump, Palidor,
Sneeze, etc. and some glitch variations exist (Life 3/X-Zone on
monsters,
Launcher against an entire group that's stuck in mid-flight for Jump
attacks). Glitch variations caused by game bugs usually cannot be
healed
unless you use some unorthodox method (using a Jump attack, for
example,
may rid you of the Jump/Launcher bug). However, the real "Hide" status
is curable through Life and Life 2, but only in hacks will this
knowledge
come in handy. Some real ones, like Engulf's variation, are not
intended
to be cured and don't have one. Strago can't learn Lores if he has
this
status, but the glitch variants don't have the same effect.
Interceptor guard - Interceptor randomly defends against physical attacks,
sometimes
counterattacking as well (Takedown or Wild Fang). He can
even
allow the inflicted character to block back attacks while
in a
Pincer.
Float - Inflicted floats above the ground and becomes invulnerable to the
following:
most Earth-elemental attacks (exceptions: Gravity Rod and LifeShaver),
Interceptor and Chocobop.
Charm - Set by the spell with the same name, it has no visual effect for the
inflicted.
It is just like Muddled.
Enemy Runic - Referred to as such because it is only used by enemies. Same as
Runic,
except it lasts the entire battle.
HP Leak - The name given to the status created by Phantasm. Drains small
amounts of HP
from inflicted.
Love Token - The inflicted takes physical hits for the caster.
Retort - When the affected is struck physically, the Retort attack will be used.
It only lasts until the affected makes a move or is struck, which is
very likely
as physical attacks on the inflicted have a perfect hit rate. There
are two bugs
associated with this status; one, if you die with it active and are
revived
during the same battle, you will counter if any physical attack is
used. Also,
if you are turned into an Imp while this is active, you will use a
physical
strike instead of the Retort attack itself, which is normal. Since
the game does
not remove the status apparently until sometime after the attack has
finished,
mixing the bug and Imp causes Cyan to attack the enemy uncontrollably
and without
end until the enemy is dead because of the fact he is countering his
own physical
strike. These two facts mixed together make up the Psycho Cyan
glitch, and it
can take down almost any enemy.
Runic - The caster can absorb one vulnerable attack, gaining the MP cost as MP
gain.
However, it only lasts until the caster makes a move, etc., and
elementals can
screw up the MP gain; for example, if a fire-elemental spell is cast,
you absorb
it with Runic, but you are invulnerable to Fire, Runic will give no MP
bonus.
If you absorb the fire-elemental, Runic will take away the MP cost! In
case
you're wondering, yes, ForceField will screw this up as well if it
happened to
null the elemental of a spell you absorb. Also, when a spell is cast
that is
vulnerable to Runic, everyone with Runic status will absorb the spell
and divide
the MP gain up by the number of targets that have Runic status
(normally, you
will never have more than two targets with Runic/Enemy Runic status in
any given
battle).
Seize - Inflicted is drained at approximately 30 HP a turn by the target that
caused
it and cannot move. It can only be cured when the caster uses Discard.

Lord J - FF3usME was the second of the two tools I used to write this doc.
Keep up the good work!
Terii Senshi - Had to use your Algorithms doc for Step Mine's MP cost. ^_^
Also, I added a few things to the status section that were
already in the Algorithms doc to avoid confusion, such as
Near Fatal attack prevention and Lore learning interference.
Finally, the doc was helpful in the creation of the Status
section.
Mnrogar - Told me about the errors that I corrected for the v1.01 release.
Assassin - The further clarification on Umaro's throw's power in the **
footnote was his work.
