B. INTRODUCTION

In this FAQ, you can find all skills and magic arts
listed and given detailed descriptions for. It was
originally planned to be included in the General
Basics FAQ. However, since that FAQ is getting too
overloaded, it's probably a better idea to post an
entirely separate FAQ dealing specifically with
explaining the uses and functions of each and every
skill, magic spell, and growth panel.

Some of the information are copied directly from
the original general FAQ for easy reference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KEYS:

---

SKILL STATS
HP = Maximum HP Damage Potential
LP = Maximum LP Damage Potential
AC = Accuracy

---

STAT VALUE RANKING

(You may want to just read the descriptions first.)

Rank - Description - HP(Damage) - LP(Damage)
X = MaXimum -------- 90(4x) ----- 90(300%)
S = Supreme -------- 75(3x) ----- 60(200%)
A = Awesome -------- 60(2.5x) --- 45(150%)
B = Good ----------- 50(2x) ----- 30(100%)
C = Decent --------- 40(1.6x) --- 20( 67%)
D = Poor ----------- 30(1.3x) --- 15( 50%)
E = Horrible ------- 25(1x) ----- 10( 33%)
F = Pathetic -------  1(0.1x) ---  3( 10%)
NA = No Damage -----  0(0) ------  0(  0%)

* x = E-Class HP Damage (roughly 150 HP Damage)
              (eg. 4x = 600HP damage per attack without Weapon)
              (eg. 4x = 1000HP+ damage per attack with Weapon)
* X-Class HP Damage is about 4 times as powerful as E-Class HP Damage
* LP Damage = Chance of Dealing 1LP Damage per Attack
              (eg. 300% = 3LP damage per attack)
              (eg.  33% = 1LP damage per 3 attacks)
* X-Class LP Damage is about 10 times more potent than E-Class LP Damage
* (HP multiplied by 6) = estimated HP damage
* (LP divided by 30) = estimated LP damage

---

MISCELLANEOUS LABELS
[Best Lv#] = Best Art for That Category's Level
Lv#- = Art should be considered one Level weaker than its color.
Lv#+ = Art should be considered one Level more powerful its color.
> = Art/Category Description
>> = Art/Category Evaluation

---

LEVELS
Lv0 = Useless Art. Green & Red. (not all categories have these)
Lv1 = Basic Art. Green.
Lv2 = Stronger Version of Basic Art. Blue.
Lv3 = Advanced Art. Pink.
Lv4 = Powerful Art. Orange.
Lv5 = Ultimate Art. Yellow. (not all categories have these)

*Note* Although there are several Lv5 Arts for some Weapon Arts, only
one of them is the true Ultimate Art. One Lv4 Art of each weapon is as
powerful as an Ultimate Lv5 Art and should be considered as one.

C. PHYSICAL ATTACK TYPES

o Quick Attacks (Speed & Accuracy)
> Quick attacks are the basic abilities of most weapons.
These attacks hit enemies with such swiftness that it appears
as if the character didn't move at all.
>> Quick attacks are the most accurate of all attack types.
They also have the highest speed of all attacks, preventing
enemies from being able to chain combos with the character's
attacks. Additionally, the small delay after using it allows
Quick attacks to be easily linked into a combo. Quick attack
Arts are the easiest to learn of all attacks.
>> Quick attacks have the weakest skills overall, with awful
Lv2 & Lv3 Arts. They also often lack Arts of certain levels.
Their Lv4 Arts are decent though, and are more powerful than
those of Throw attacks. Quick attacks deal decent HP damage,
but horrible LP damage. Very low HP cost.
(eg. Woodcutter, Flash Pierce, Quick Thrust, Quickshot, Slam)

o Throw Attacks (Speed)
> The weapon is hurled at the enemy as a projectile.
>> Throw attacks are slower and less accurate than Quick
attacks, but are more powerful overall.
>> Lv2 and Lv3 Arts of Throw attacks are greatly more
powerful than than that of Quick attacks. Throw attacks
have more skills than Quick attacks. These, along with
having the lowest HP cost of all attack types, mean that Throw
attacks is the most effective attack type at the beginning of
the game. Unfortunately, their usefulness is less later on
as their Lv4 Arts are often weaker than that of Quick attacks.
(eg. Javelin, Tomahawk, Knife Throw)

o Dash Attacks (Balanced)
> Character dashes past the enemy, inflicting damage along
the way.
>> Dash attacks are slower than both Quick and Throw attack.
It has less accuracy than Aim attacks.
>> Dash attacks are unique due to its compensative nature.
For example, the Dash attack for a Slasher, such as an Axe,
will deal more LP damage than other attacks. On the other
hand, the Dash attack for a Piercer, such as a Knife, will
deal more HP damage than the rest. In other words, Dash
attacks have balanced ability to inflict both HP and LP
damage. Dash attacks have powerful high level Arts. In addition,
they have the most powerful Lv1 Art of all attack types. In
short, they're versatile and can be used in all situations.
Average HP cost.
(eg. Speedy Bleedy, Slash, Time Lapse)

o Stun Attacks (Stun)
> Stun attacks are usually the weakest of all, since they
specialize not in causing damage, but instead in the ability
to disable the enemy by inflicting Stun, Paralysis, Blackout
and other Status Effects. Very effective against normal
enemies, but can also be used to turn the tide during boss
battles.
>> Their effectiveness can be increased by inflicting
enemies with the Status Droppers - "Lower Endurance" and
"Lower Spirit". "Lower Endurance" decreases Physical Status
Resistance, improving the chances of inflicting Stun,
Paralysis, Darkness(Blinded), Nutcracker(Break Armor)
and Blackout(Death). "Lower Spirit" increases the chances of
inflicting Sleep from the "Bopeep effect". Remember that
these work on bosses!
>> Stun attacks have very powerful Lv3 and Lv4 Arts that
specialize in either HP or LP damage.
(eg. Grasshopper, Rear Blade, Stunner, Earth Dragon)

o Aim Attacks (LP)
> Energy is accumulated onto the tip of the weapon before it is
unleashed in a precise and deadly blow.
>> Aim attacks have the second highest accuracy and are
specifically designed to consistently inflict LP damage.
>> Aim attacks have the most powerful lower level Arts overall.
More importantly, they have some of the most powerful LP
damaging Arts. On the downside, they are very slow and has a
high HP cost. Very effective in finishing off tough enemies
and against bosses.
(eg. Aim, Sniper Shot, Hammer, Cross Slash, Coma Dose, Trick Shot)

o Multi Attacks (HP & LP)
> While Aim attacks target a single critical spot to deal one
LP damage, Multi attacks strike several random areas on the
enemy at once and hope for a chance to deal several LP damage.
>> Multi attacks are cumulatively the strongest attack type,
having the ability to inflict both high HP and LP damage. Multi
attacks have the greatest ability to deal LP damage, even
surpassing that of Aim attacks. Like Aim attacks, Multi attacks
are powerful at all levels, including Lv1. It even has lower
HP cost than Aim attacks. Many Multi attack Arts are the best
in the game.
>> Unfortunately, Multi attacks also have a great disadvantage.
Due to its random nature of dealing multiple hits, the damage
of Multi attacks often fluctuate a great deal. For example,
some attacks may be only half as powerful as its maximum
potential. To ensure that all strikes hit the enemy, the
character must have high accuracy (affected by the Skill stat).
To make things worse, Multi attacks have low accuracy. This
means that characters without high Skill are better off using
Aim attacks, since it scarcely fluctuates.
(eg. Multi Hit, Multi Shot, Multi Blade, Multi Poke, Dice)

o Power Attacks (HP)
> The enemy is struck with a massive blow from a weapon with
pure energy collected at its tip.
>> Power attacks are mighty HP damagers. These attacks consume the
highest amount of HP to cause very high HP damage (Lv4 Power attacks
deal twice as much HP damage as Lv4 Quick attacks).
>> As you might've guessed, these attacks are the slowest, the
poorest at dealing LP damage, and have the lowest accuracy. Use
Power Attacks to completely obliterate normal enemies and wear down
the HP of major bosses.
(eg. Power Shot, Charge, Bash, Stardust, Blast, Bone Crusher)

*Note* As a rule, spectacular explosive attacks are often better
at dealing HP damage. While on the other hand, intense concusive
high-speed attacks, although not as grand, are great at dealing
LP damage. Don't let the graphics fool you!

D. MELEE & WEAPON ARTS LINES

The number label inside the "[*]" brackets
indicate the HP consumption rate for that
skill line. HP cost affects the amount of
HP damage a skill can do. Higher HP cost
equals better HP damage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martial Arts Lines
o Power1 = [10] Punch (Uppercut) [Deadly Palm]
o Multi1 = [10] Hummingbird      [Bodhisattva]
o Aim1   = [10] Punch (Uppercut) [Raksha]
o Power2 = [15] Kick [Flying Knee]
o Multi2 = [15] Kick [Three Dragon]
o Aim2   = [15] Kick [Flash Flood]
o Stun1  = [15] Throw     [Call Back]
o Stun2  = [15] Hairdryer [Windwhistle]
> The main advantage of Martial Arts is the fact
that they conserve both HP and Durability. Normal
Martial Arts are generally weaker than Weapon Arts,
but Light and Heavy Martial Arts as strong as they
are.
>> Punch Arts are weaker than Kick Arts, but
are much more accurate. Another big difference is
that Punch Arts are easier to learn.
>> Normal Martial Arts Lines are Power Attacks,
serving mainly to deal HP damage. They are the
weakest compared to Light and Heavy Arts Lines.
>> Light Martial Arts are Multi Attacks, capable
of doing both high HP and LP damage. However,
you need a decent amount of the Skill stat to
use it at full potential. To gain access to Light
Martial Arts Lines, your character must be lightweight
(try unequipping everything off your character). In
addition, you must have a Punch, Kick and/or Throw
Arts Panel equipped on that character.
>> For access to the Heavy Martial Arts Lines, you
must NOT have any Martial Arts Panels on your
character. Due to this, Heavy Martial Arts are the
hardest skills to learn in the game. Heavy Martial
Arts are Aim attacks, mainly designed for dealing
LP damage. Although less powerful than Multi Attacks,
you do not need the Skill stat to bring use them at
their fullest capability.
>> Heavy Martial Arts have superior Lv3 Arts, while
Light Martial Arts have the best Lv4 Arts.

Axe Arts Lines
o Quick = [20] Woodchopper
o Throw = [15] Tomahawk
o Dash  = [25] Time Lapse
o Aim   = [35] Hammer (Hyper Hammer)
o Power = [45] Bash (2EN)
> Axe Arts have the most powerful starting skills
of all weapons, specializing on doing heavy HP
damage. Lv1 Axe Arts are vastly superior to Lv1 Arts of
all other weapons. Lv4 Axe Arts deal extremely high
HP damage, far more than the rest of the weapons.
As an added bonus, they seem to be easier to learn than
other Weapon Arts. Axe Arts suffer mostly from low
Accuracy and high HP consumption. Another disadvantage
is that it has low versatility, having only one
stat-dropping skill and lacking the ability to inflict
Stun.
>> Ultimate Art: Lv4 Reverse Delta (Time Lapse Line)

Sword Arts Lines
o Multi  = [15] Multi Blade (Twin Blade)
o Dash   = [20] Slash
o Stun   = [15] Rear Blade
o Aim    = [15] Cross Slash
o Power1 = [25] Stardust
o Power2 = [35] Blast (Smash) (2EN)
> Sword Arts have very powerful high level Arts.
Like Axe Arts, they are best used for quickly bringing
down the HP of enemies and bosses. Sword Arts have very
high Accuracy. However, they suffer from having pathetic
Lv1 Arts that are practically useless. Swords start
out slow in strength, but they gradually will pick
in speed and become exceptionally powerful. Have many
more uses than Axe Arts and is vastly better at dealing
LP damage.
>> Ultimate Art: Lv5 Golden Dragon (Stardust Line)

Spear Arts Lines
o Quick = [15] Flash Pierce
o Throw = [15] Javelin
o Stun  = [20] Grasshopper
o Aim   = [20] Aim
o Multi = [25] Multi Poke (Double Stab) (2EN)
o Power = [35] Charge (2EN)
> Spear Arts are incredibly balanced. They have
both brutal HP damagers and precise LP damagers.
They are better than Sword Arts in dealing LP
damage, but they are not as effective in dealing
HP damage. The main difference though, is that
Spear Arts have lower accuracy. They start off
with much more powerful low level Arts than those
of Sword Arts and have better skill lines overall.
>> Ulimate Art: Lv5 Poker's Wild (Multi Poke Line)

Dagger Arts Lines
o Quick = [05] Quick Thrust
o Throw = [05] Knife Throw
o Dash  = [15] Speedy Bleedy
o Stun  = [10] Stunner
o Aim   = [10] Trick Shot
o Multi = [20] Dice (2EN)
> Dagger Arts are totally opposite from Axe Arts.
They have the highest Accuracy and deals the
most LP damage overall than all other weapons.
While all Axe Arts deal high HP damage, all Dagger
Arts deal high LP damage. They also consume the
least HP. Another great advantage is that many
Dagger Arts have the ability of inflicting Status
Effects, such as Paralysis and Blackout (Death).
Unfortunately, they have serious drawbacks
as well. Like Sword Arts, Dagger Arts start with
very weak Lv1 Arts, though not as horrible as the
Sword ones. Another drawback is that they deal
the least HP damage of all weapons.
>> Ultimate Art: Lv4 Puree (Dice Line)

Bow Arts Lines
o Quick = [10] Quickshot
o Stun  = [10] Warning Shot
o Mass  = [15] Random Arrowshoot (2EN)
o Aim   = [20] Sniper Shot
o Multi = [15] Multi Shot (Double Shot)
o Power = [25] Power Shot
> Bow Arts are more balanced than Dagger Arts.
They are not as good at dealing LP damage, but
cause better HP damage. Like Axe Arts, they
are also fast starters. Similar to Dagger Arts,
many Bow Arts can inflict Status Effects, such
as Paralysis and Blackout (Death). Their best
strength is the ability to attack all enemies at
once of the Random Arrowshoot Line. Bow Arts suffer
mainly from low Accuracy, though it is not a true
disadvantage since Bow users generally have high
Skill Growth that makes up for the low Accuracy.
>> Ultimate Art: Lv4 Thousand Needles (Multi Shot Line)

Gun Arts Line
o Aim   = [05] Shoot
> There isn't much to be said about Gun Arts,
except that they are extremely useful mid-game
as "Golden Hit", the ultimate Gun Art, is already
pre-learned. They suffer from having no other uses
though. Effective at consistently dealing both high
HP & LP damage.

Staff Arts Lines
o Quick     = [10] Slam
o Dash      = [10] Roundhouse
o Aim       = [20] Coma Dose
o Multi     = [15] Multi Hit (Double Hit)
o Power     = [15] Bone Crusher
o Mass-Stun = [25] Earth Dragon
> Staff Arts are unique. They are utterly
hopeless overall in terms of inflicting LP
damage. Worse, the ability to deal HP damage cannot
rival most other weapons, even though they are
slightly more powerful than Dagger Arts. The
strength of Staff Arts lie in their unequaled
effectiveness as secondary supportive skills.
About 90% of all Staff Arts have the ability to
drop enemy status. Some of them even can inflict
nasty Status Effects, such as Blackout (Death).
Staff Arts also have the most useful skill line
for normal battles - Earth Dragon (attack all
enemies and inflict Stun at the same time).
Most suitable for characters with low Strength
and/or Skill, such as spellcasters.
>> Ultimate Art: Lv4 Total Agony (Multi Hit Line)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Martial Arts (Melee)

* Lv1 Punch (Uppercut) *
HP F(24)
LP F(3)
AC B
> A simple punch.
>> A weak and pretty much useless basic attack.

* Lv1 Hummingbird * [Best Lv1 Melee]
HP F(18)
LP F(6)
AC B
> Calls upon the agility of the Hummingbird to strike a sudden single
blow using two hands held together.
>> Deals less HP damage, but more LP damage than Punch.

* Lv1 Kick *
HP E(27)
LP F(6)
AC C
> A simple kick.
>> More powerful than both Punch and Hummingbird, but its low Accuracy
makes it less effective than Hummingbird.

* Lv1 Throw *
HP E(25)
LP F(3)
AC C
o Stun
> Dashes to the enemy and lifts the enemy into the air. The enemy then
smashes down onto the ground and becomes disoriented.
>> Slightly more powerful than Punch, but less accurate.

* Lv1 Hairdryer *
HP F(20)
LP NA(0)
AC B
o Stun
> Lifts the enemy into the air and releases. It then smashes into the
ground with bounce. The swiftness of the attack dries the hair of the
user (figuratively).
>> Weaker than Throw and cannot damage LP. On the other hand, its
higher accuracy makes it a much more effective stunner.

* Lv2 Bear Swipe *
HP D(36)
LP F(9)
AC B
> The stronger version of Punch. Calls upon the power of the Bear
to strike the enemy with twice the force that a human can do.
>> Deals the greatest HP damage of all Lv2 Martial Arts.

* Lv2 Gatling Jab *
HP D(30)
LP D(18)
AC B
> A high-speed three-hit Punch combo.
>> Deals the best LP damage of all Lv2 Martial Arts.

* Lv2 Sinker * [Best Lv2 Melee]
HP E(29)
LP D(15)
AC B
o Lowers Strength
> Leaps and strikes with a downward force, releasing blue sparks.
>> Invaluable due to its ability to lower Strength; thus, decreasing
the HP damage from the enemy attacks by 30%! Deals decent LP damage,
but is poorer than other Lv2 Martial Arts when it comes to HP damage.

* Lv2 Kawazu Throw *
HP D(31)
LP F(6)
AC B
o Stun
> Dashes and spins the enemy high into the air. It then smashes into
the ground.
>> Stronger and more accurate than both Throw and Hairdryer.
>> Named after the Creator of Unlimited Saga, Akitoshi Kawazu.

* Lv3 Brute Force *
HP D(38)
LP F(9)
AC A
o Lowers Endurance
> Releases Chi as a skyblue ball of light that rushes through its
enemy, taking away some of its inner energy.
>> Decent HP damage. Useful when used alongside Stun attacks, since
by lowering Endurance increases the chance to inflict an abnormal
physical status (including Stun) by 30%!

* Lv3 Punch Out *
HP C(42)
LP C(27)
AC B
> Executes three very heavy "Punch" attacks at the enemy.
>> Quite powerful compared with all Lv3 Arts (including Weapon Arts).
Superior amongst Lv3 Martial Arts in damaging LP.

* Lv3 Thunder Kick *
HP D(35)
LP F(9)
AC B
> Leaps and sparks a huge explosion of electricity.
>> NOT Lightning Elemental.
>> The weakest of Lv3 Martial Arts. Weaker than Brute Force in all
terms.

* Lv3 Triangle Kick *
HP D(37)
LP D(18)
AC A
> Kicks off from a wall of energy and collides the enemy.
>> Less powerful than Punch Out and Kickrush in terms of both
HP and LP damage, but has higher Accuracy.

* Lv3 Kickrush * [Best Lv3 Melee]
HP C(47)
LP C(27)
AC B
>> Cumulatively the most powerful Lv3 Martial Art. As strong as
Punch Out in all ways, except that Kickrush does higher HP damage.

* Lv3 Hammerfall *
HP D(39)
LP F(6)
AC B
o Stun
> The enemy is literally thrown into the sky and crashes down.
Pillars of energy shoot upwards from the impact.
>> Equally as useful as Brute Force. Deals slightly more HP, but
slightly less LP damage than Brute Force.

* Lv3 Cyclone *
HP D(35)
LP F(6)
AC A
o Stun
> Dashes to the enemy and conjures up a huge cyclone that sends it
spiralling into the sky. It then crashes down into the ground.
>> More accurate but less powerful than Hammerfall.

* Lv4 Deadly Palm *
HP C(46)
LP F(9)
AC A
o Lowers Endurance
> The advanced version of Brute Force. Uses instead an enormous
flaming ball of Chi.
>> Very weak compared to other Lv4 Martial Arts, but has the useful
ability of lowering Endurance. Use it in conjunction with Stun
attacks.

* Lv4 Bodhisattva (Thousand Hand Bodhisattva) *
HP A(63)
LP A(54)
AC B
> The stronger version of Gatling Jab. Summons the agility of the gods
to perform an ultra-fast twelve-hit punch combo (only 6 actually count
though). With each impact, several golden streaks of energy burst
outwards with echoes ringing as if chanting a sacred incantation.
>> Among the most powerful of all Arts in the game. Very heavy HP
damage and deals the most LP damage of all Martial Arts.

* Lv4 Raksha *
HP B(50)
LP D(18)
AC B
o Blackout
>> Stronger than Deadly Palm, but less accurate. Unique for its
ability to inflict Blackout, instantly killing the enemy. Note that,
unlike other RPGs, Blackout(Death) in Unlimited Saga works on most
bosses!

* Lv4 Flying Knee *
HP C(45)
LP F(9)
AC B
> The stronger version of Sinker. Flying Knee trades the ability to
lower Strength with superior ability to do HP damage. Leaps and uses the
knee to strike the enemy with a big impact force.
>> About as powerful as Deadly Palm, but has less Accuracy and lacks
a special property. Weakest and overall useless Lv4 Martial Art.

* Lv4+ Triple Dragon * [Best Lv4 Melee]
HP S(77)
LP A(45)
AC A
>> Spectacular HP and amazing LP damage. Also has full Accuracy.
>> Ultimate Martial Art

* Lv4 Flash Flood *
HP B(56)
LP C(27)
AC B
>> Can be thought of as the more brutal version of Raksha without the
Blackout ability. Much higher HP and LP damage than Raksha.

* Lv4 Call Back *
HP C(49)
LP C(24)
AC A
o Stun
> Mega-focuses, tackles, dashes backwards and spin-throws the enemy.
Streaks of energy shoots upwards. The great spinning momentum shatters
the ground, scattering debris in all directions.
>> Deals exceedingly more HP and LP damage than both Deadly Palm
and Flying Knee.
>> "Call Back", in this case, means to "claim one's life from behind".

* Lv4 Windwhistle *
HP B(53)
LP B(36)
AC A
o Stun
> A combination between Cyclone & Call Back. Mega-focuses, dashes
to the enemy and sends it spiralling into the sky with a humongous
erratic blue-colored tornado. It then smashes onto the ground,
creating a blue shockwave and streaks of energy. The enemy is then
tackled with another powerful blow.
>> Can be thought of as the more powerful version of Call Back. This
is one of the most powerful stunners in the game.
>> "Windwhistle" is an intentional ironic name considering its
ferocity - a euphemism, as some may call it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Axe Arts

* Lv1 Woodchopper *
HP D(30)
LP F(9)
AC C
> Performs a simply chop on the enemy. Splinters fly.
>> Deals a decent amount of HP damage for a Quick attack.
Although it does higher LP damage than Lv1 Martial Arts,
it is still lower than most Lv1 Weapon Arts.

* Lv1 Tomahawk *
HP E(27)
LP F(9)
AC C
> Flings the Axe. It spirals through air before
hitting the enemy with a dull thud.
>> Deals less HP damage than Woodchopper, but is still
average on the large scale of things.

* Lv1 Time Lapse *
HP D(33)
LP E(12)
AC C
> Jumps beside the enemy, tricks it by jumping over
it, spins, and dash-slashes it.
>> As a Dash attack, it deals better damage than both
Woodchopper and Tomahawk.

* Lv1 Hammer (Hyper Hammer) *
HP D(37)
LP D(18)
AC C
> Focuses energy on the tip of the Axe and strikes the
enemy with a powerful blow.
>> The most damaging Lv1 Art that does not require two
durability points per use. In other words, it is the
most efficient Lv1 Art.

* Lv1 Bash * [Best Lv1 Axe]
HP C(43)
LP F(6)
AC D
> Accumulates pure energy at the tip of the Axe before
unleashing it in an exceedingly heavy chop.
>> Highest HP damage of all Lv1 Arts in the game. 'Nuff
said.

* Lv2 Bamboo Split *
HP D(34)
LP F(9)
AC C
> The stronger version of Woodchopper, using a horizontal
slash instead. More splinters fly.
>> Not much stronger than Woodchopper.

* Lv2 Juggler's Nightmare *
HP D(37)
LP F(9)
AC C
> Spins several times before hurling the Axe towards the
enemy. It flies through the in a radical spin, before
cutting the enemy repeatedly upon contact.
>> Greatly stronger than Tomahawk and exceeds Bamboo
Split in damage. This, along with Sky Dive, makes the
Axe's Throw attacks more worthwhile learning than
Quick attacks during mid-game.

* Lv2 Backslash * [Best Lv2 Axe]
HP C(46)
LP B(30)
AC C
> Dashes to the back of the enemy and makes a huge slash.
>> Very powerful in terms of Lv2 Arts, dealing both high
HP and LP damage.

* Lv2 Slew Motion *
HP C(44)
LP D(18)
AC C
> The stronger version of Hyper Hammer. Uses more energy
to strike a heavier blow.
>> Weaker than Backlash in all ways. Higher HP damage than
Hyper Hammer.

* Lv2 Heartbreaker *
HP C(49)
LP F(6)
AC D
o Lowers Magic
> Similar to Slew Motion using red energy instead.
>> Not as powerful as Backslash and Slew Motion overall,
due to its low Accuracy and ability to do LP damage.
On the other hand, it is the only Axe Art capable of
dropping status. Not only that, the ability of lowering
Magic is a very rare.

* Lv3 Sky Dive *
HP C(43)
LP F(9)
AC B
> Throws the Axe upwards. The Axe spins in a white
sphere and projects itself to the enemy.
>> It's strength lies in its high Accuracy in relative
to other Axe Arts. Unfortunately, it cannot even begin
to compare with the sheer force of Night's Crossing.

* Lv3 Night's Crossing * [Best Lv3 Axe]
HP A(65)
LP B(36)
AC C
> Strikes the enemy in two consecutive high speed
dashes, one immediately following the other. The
unexpected second strike catches the enemy offguard
and deals a critical blow at its weakpoint.
>> Among the strongest Lv3 Arts in the game, doing
enormous HP and LP damage. The damage is so great
that is even surpasses that of several Lv4 Arts.

* Lv4 Phoenix Blow *
HP A(70)
LP D(18)
AC A
> Summons a big tree trunk that falls upon the enemy. Leaps
and chops the trunk. The trunk explodes, sending logs in all
directions.
>> The most accurate of all Axe Arts and deals very high HP
damage.

* Lv4 Skyscraper *
HP C(49)
LP E(12)
AC B
> Leaps, dragging a trail of shimmering blue energy, and strikes
the enemy, ejecting blue streaks outwards.
>> Weakest Lv4 Axe Art. Although it is still stronger than Lv4
Normal Martial Arts, it is pathetic compared to its Lv4
counterparts.
>> Despite its strength, the Throw attack line is still a
good alternative to Quick attacks, because its Lv2 and Lv3 Arts
are much better than that of the latter.

* Lv4+ Reverse Delta (High Speed Nebula) * [Best Lv4 Axe]
HP S(83)
LP S(63)
AC B
> Splits into three bodies that leap onto three positions in a
perfect triangle formation. An upside-down triangle forms upon
the enemy, targetting it. The three split images then dash
through the enemy, simultansously smashing its weakest vital
point, spinning the triangle and launching streaks of light.
>> The ultimate Axe Art. Should be considered a Lv5 Art.
Almost unparalleled both in terms of HP and LP damage. Also
has high Accuracy on top of it all.
>> This ultimate Art is the easiest to learn in the game.
>> Unfortunately, due to its power, the Time Lapse line does
not have a Lv3 Art. Time Lapse itself is also weaker than
Hyper Hammer and Bash. Because of this, the it is wiser to
not concentrate upon the Time Lapse line until the chance to
learn Reverse Delta comes along.

* Lv4 Fuji View (Eight Views of Fuji) *
HP S(79)
LP A(48)
AC C
> Mega-charges, leaps, and blasts the enemy in a massive
eruption of explosive fury. Its volcanic might alludes to
the great Mount Fuji of Japan.
>> Although weaker than Reverse Delta in all ways, it is still
extremely powerful in damaging both HP and LP. Its strength
far exceeds many Lv4 Arts of other weapons.

* Lv4 Splinter Pierce *
HP S(86)
LP C(27)
AC D
>> True to its purpose as the Axe's Lv4 Power attack, it has
the greatest ability to deal HP damage, even surpassing that
of the almighty Reverse Delta. It has modest LP damaging
capability, but suffers from very low Accuracy.
>> For characters with high Skill, this Art can prove to be
better than Reverse Delta early on in boss battles.

G. MAGIC SPELL TYPES

Here are some general descriptions of the main groups of
magic spells. Fire and Forbidden spells are mostly designed
for offense, and are the most powerful. Earth and Water
have a good mixture of both offensive and defensive spells.
Wood and Metal are mostly defensive. There are exactly 12
spells per element (except for Forbidden Arts, which has 10).
Eight of those can be learned be learned from Magic Tablets,
while the rest require a Magic Blender (read the next section
for more info). All Forbidden spells can be learned from Magic
Tablets.

(Refer to "Magic Arts List" for more details.)

o Detect Spells
Detect spells serve two purposes: reveal enemy locations
on the Adventure map and weaken enemy defenses of the
corresponding type. For example, casting "Detect Animals"
will reveal where all the Wildlings, Beasts, and Giants
are on the map. In battle, casting the same spell will reduce
the HP defense of all those enemies, but it will not affect
enemies of other types, such as Undead. Detect Gold is
mainly used to find treasures, since the Gold monster scarely
shows itself. Detect Blood reduces LP defense of all monster
types.

*Tip* Since Detect spells only reduce about 5% of the enemy's
HP defense, it's often only useful very early in the game
where you do not have access to offensive spells yet. Later
in the game, use it only when you're ambushed by a large group
of monsters or at the beginning of a boss battle (yes, it's
worth it).

*Tip* If the enemies turn around and face away from the party
when the Detect spell hits them, it means that the spell does
not work with those types of monsters. Notice that casting Detect
Gold on most monsters will cause them to turn around, meaning that
Detect Gold does not work with them.

*Insight* How do Detect Spells reduce enemy defense? Logically
speaking, Detect enemies is like scanning them for weaknesses;
using these spells reveal where the weak points of the enemies
are. Therefore, it becomes easier to inflict higher damage on
enemies. Detect Blood works on the same principle. It reveals
where the main arteries and the main organs (such as the
heart) are located, allowing characters to have a higher
chance of dealing LP damage.

o Offensive Spells
Most of these simply cause HP & LP damage. Generally, there
are 3 levels of offensive spells. The lowest level consists
of weak single attack spells such as "Fire Arrow" (Fire Art),
"Bubble Blow" (Water Art), and "Boulder" (Earth Art). Second
level spells can attack all enemies at once. These include
"Ice Needle" (Water Art) and "Corona" (Fire Art). Third level
spells are those ones that can only be acquired using "Magic
Blender". Third level spells are outrageously powerful. One
such example is "Rock Rain" (Earth Art) that far surpasses
any Art in the game in the ability to wipe out an entire mob
in one single attack.

o Healing Spells
Restorative spells are more or less self-explanatory. The Wood
Art, "Life Boost", increases HP Recovery Rate roughly 50%.
Wood Art "Recycle" restores durability of the first weapon
of the caster. There are also several spells that can restore
HP in and out of battle. The most common one is "Purify" (Water
Art), which also removes any status ailments. Unfortunately,
the other HP restoration spells are high level spells that
need Magic Blender to gain access to.

o Supportive Spells
There are two types of supportive spells - stat raisers
and elemental. Stat raisers, such as Power Surge,
increase stat values by a set percentage (mentioned in
"Status Changers"). Elemental supportive spells, such
as Fire Veil and Overgrowth, increase the effectiveness
of magic spells of the corresponding type. "Veil" spells
directly increases the effectiveness of the same element
by raising the stat value for that element. "Overgrowth"
and "Rainbringer" work differently. It changes the
surrounding environment instead of affecting the caster.
Casting "Overgrowth", for example, will add more Wood
panels to the Magic Reel and increase chances of landing
on a Wood panel; thus, it indirectly accelerates the
learning rate of Wood spells. Having more panels of the
same element on the Magic Reel also increases the
effectiveness of Magic spells of the same type, just
like a "Veil" spell, although the effect is not as much.

*Tip* Status raising spells are invaluable to any boss
battle. Power Surge (Fire Art) in particular increases
the HP damage done by 30%! This means that if you
original deal 800HP damage, it will be increased to
1040HP damage! That's roughly the difference between
Lv3 and Lv4 attacks, meaning that you're essentially
increasing the power of Lv4 attacks to the level of
Lv5 attacks!

o Shield Spells
These spells, such as "Fire Shield" or "Water Shield",
allow the caster to block attacks that the spell is
designed to defend against. They act exactly like
real shields and evasive weapon abilities (eg. Deflect).
Casting it doesn't mean that you can block all attacks
of a specific type or element; it appears only occasionally
like a shield suddenly popping in front the character.
"Aegis Shield" is one of the best defensive spells as
it allows the caster to block attacks of any element,
especially useful for mage-defenders, such as Anzam
or Kong Ming. Other shield spells include "Missle Guard",
"Mind Lock", etc.

H. MAGIC ARTS LIST

The level of each Magic Art corresponds to the level
of the Magic Tablet required to learn it. For example,
you'll need a Lv4 Fire Magic Tablet to learn Lv4
Corona.

Lv5 Arts for all Elements are accessible only with a
"Magic Blender" panel. Using this panel, you can
select several spells and combine them into a single
Lv5 Magic Art. "Blender" values determine how much
"Fusion" values are required to create the new Art.
For example, to make Lv5 Heat Fought, you can
choose Power Surge and Corona.

DETECT = "Detect" spells. Can be used for finding
enemies or objects on the dungeon map. Usually used
for reducing HP defense of specific enemies in battle.
ATTACK = Offensive spells that cause HP & LP damage.
SUPPORT = Supportive spells & Status Changers.
HEAL = Restores HP and/or removes Status Effects.
EFFECT = Inflicts a Status Effect.
SHIELD = Gives the caster a shield that blocks attacks
(just like normal shields and evasive weapon abilities).

The number label inside the "[*]" brackets
indicate the HP consumption rate for that
spell.

J. DAMAGE & MONSTER DEFENSE TYPES

(I reccomend that you do not read this section until you've gotten
the hang of the Arts types system.)

Like in any RPG, enemies have different strengths and weaknesses to
different damage types. Not surprisingly, the system in USaga is
somewhat more complicated than mainstream RPGs, though not by much.
Damage types are composed of Slash, Hit, Pierce, Heat, Cold,
Lightning, Light, and none-elemental, making a total of eight.

The major difference between Unlimited Saga's damage types system
is that certain attacks can have multiple damage types. When used
upon an enemy the more effective one will be used. For example,
suppose you use Woodchopper on an enemy that has a high defense
against Slash attacks. Woodchopper is a general Axe Art that has
both Slash and Hit as its attack type. In this case, the enemy's
resistance against Slash attacks will have no effect on
Woodchopper at all. Although the enemy is resistant against
Slash attacks, it does not have defense against Hit attacks.
Remember that only the better damage type will be used against
the enemy. Having more damage types is always better than have
a single damage type in all cases.

Damage types are separated into two categories, Physical and
Elemental. Physical attacks are composed of Slash, Hit and Pierce,
while Elemental attacks are made up of Heat, Cold, Lightning, Light
and none-elemental. Do not confuse "Elemental" with "magical".
Several Magic Arts deal Physical damage also, such as Bubble Blow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. RACIAL DEFENSES

o Beasts & Wildlings
> strong vs Physical; weak vs Elemental
> Beasts and Wildings are often brute melee monsters. These are strong
against all three types of Physical attacks - Slash, Hit and Pierce, but
are weak against all Elemental attacks.

o Dragons
> strong vs Heat; weak vs Cold
> In other words, they're strong vs Fire Arrow, while Ice Needle works
best against them. These include Dragonids (Dragon Wildlings).

o Flying Dragons
> variable Elemental defense
> Flying Dragons are strong against the Magic that most resembles
their color. For example, White Flying Dragons (White Windsor) are
strong against Ice Needle, while Red ones are strong against Fire Arrow.
Use the opposite Elemental attack type to its color. Wyverns (silvered-
colored Dragon-like ground-dwelling birds) are not considered Flying
Dragons.

o Birds
> none
> Birds generally have no weaknesses and strengths.

o Aquans
> weak vs Lightning (bosses only)
> Generally, Aquans have no strengths and weaknesses. Only their
some of their bosses are weak against Lightning attacks.

o Vegeplants (Plantoids)
> strong vs Cold & Light
> All Vegeplants have this property. It basically means that they are
resistant against a large number of spells including Ice Needle, Seal
of the Abyss, Psycho Noise, Corona, Holy Seal and Supersonic, among
others.

o Demons
> strong vs Lightning & Light
> Like Vegeplants, Demons are strong against many Magic Arts. These
include Seal of the Abyss, Psycho Noise, Corona, Holy Seal, Shock,
Supersonic, Thunderbringer, etc. These also means that the Dagger Art,
Lightning Thrust, does not work well on them either.

o Undeads
> strong vs Cold; weak vs Heat
> Every single Undead monster, including all Undead bosses, have this
property. Fire Arrow is incredibly effective against them, while Ice
Needle works poorly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. ARMOR DEFENSES

o Enchanted
> strong vs Elemental; weak vs Physical
> Enchanted monsters consist mainly of mages. Necromancers, wizards and
the feared demon, Lich, all have this type of defense. Enchanted monsters
also include the Burak, a white fox-like Beast that has shamanic
engravings on its body.

o Armored
> strong vs Slash & Pierce, weak vs Hit(Blunt)
> Other than wearing a piece of metallic armor, armored also means
having a solid carapace, such as that of the Titan Crab or the Lancer
Beetle. A large number of enemies and bosses have this property.

o Inflated
> strong vs Hit(Blunt)
> Monsters that are filled with air or looks like a balloon are
very strong against Blunt attacks. These include Blowfish, Pinhut(those
puffy blue ghosts), OrbCrawler and the like.

o Bone
> strong vs Pierce
> There aren't many monsters with this property. Monsters that are
made up of bones are incredibly resilient against Pierce attacks.
These include Skeleton, BalloonHead, Edgelord(boss) and a certain
you-know-who with a bone dragon behind him(boss).

o Thickcloth/Thickhide
> strong vs Slash
> Only bosses have this property, and quite a number of them do.
Thickcloth refers to wearing thick or wearing full clothing
(often not robes), while Thickhide means having very tough skin
(skin, not carapace/skin-armor). Bosses with this property include
Edgelord(yep, dual defense), Elder Dragons, Knights of the Round
Table, etc.

*Note* Some enemies, especially bosses, can have a combination of
Armor Defense. A good example is the Edgelord. Graphically, you can
see that the boss is made up of skeleton and wears thick ragged
clothing. The skeleton gives it Bone defense, making it resistant
to Pierce attacks. The clothing gives it Thickcloth, which provides
it with defense against Slash attacks. However, it does not have
Inflated defense and is thus weakest against Hit attacks. Refering
back to Racial Defenses, being Undead also makes it vulnerable to
Fire Arrow.
