rune stats?

Post by kenshindono »

i see the rune post at the top but thats just what runes do and it doesn't look complete.. what do all the abreviations on the character stats screen stand for? i was amazed at the number, if thats right, then there are about 14 distinct different magic groups that you have to worry about, thats a bit crazy!

I don't think we know what all of them mean yet, but the list in the Runes section is pretty much what I think they are. I'm not sure about Star, Slash, and Thrust, but I don't know what else they could be. For the list again:

Su - Sun
Fi - Fire
Li - Lightning
Wi - Wind
Wa - Water
Ea - Earth
St - Star (?)
So - Song/Sound
Ho - Holy/Resurrection
Da - Darkness
Sl - Slash (?)
Th - Thrust (?)
Pu - Punishment
Sh - Shield

My question would be, what categories are the unique runes in, like Viki's Blinking Rune?

Star and Thrust are correct, but Slash is listed as Slice in Strategy Guide. The Blinking Rune is listed as "None" in the Strategy Guide, though.

Oh, and please call me Paladin for short.

If Holy is for the Resurrection Magic, I presume Darkness is for Punishment Magic?

Or, are the Darkness Runes (derivative of Souleater) back in the game?

It's dark attribute, for the condemnation rune, plus Empty World of the Pale Gate rune.

Ho = Holy
Da = Dark
Sl = Slice
Th = Thrust
Pu = Punch
Sh = Shoot
there doesn't seem to be Shield Magic affinity

Shield magic uses Earth affinity for Battle Oath and Battlefield, and Water for Great Blessing. Ernst's Beast rune is none for Transformation, Sound for Resounding Roar, Slice for Ripping Claws, and Thrust for Devouring Jaws. Pale Gate rune is Thrust for Open Gate, Lightning for Royal Passage, Water for Pale Palace, and Dark for Empty World. All the other runes are single elemental, and pretty easy to figure out. Dawn and Twilight are Sun, Star is obviously Star, DoReMi is Sound, Resurrection Holy, Condemnation Dark, and Blinking has no attribute.

actually great blessing has no affinity at all. it seems to do 200 hp no matter what. So im not really sure how accurate the rest of that is
