 Posted: Fri Sep 01, 2006 12:45 pm Post subject: Incantation? |
  |
|
have anyone found out what incantation really does? It is supposed to shorten magic casting, but how much?..
Because my favorite character, *cough*KYLE*cough* has SS in Zen Sword, but i always skip that skill and just gives him A in Swift foot for extra Spd,Eva,Acc..( the other slot is of course S in agility)
so if anyone have any numbers or info at all regarding the skill Incantation (maybe from konami themselves :) ), and also, if the skill stack, like the rest of the skills does (unsure about Vitality)..
Like equiping Kyle with SS in Zen Sword and S in Divine Right for double Incantation?

I believe it just makes them cast the spell faster. In some cases, I've had characters with low speed cast a spell very early in the round, and sometime characters with great speed go after others when casting. I'm assuming that the higher the skill, the sooner you'll cast (which would be extremely useful for low-speed healers).

that's its purpose; speed of spell cast. your character probably had the fastest cast rank of all present (including the enemy), so their spell went first, or, at least it would seem logical for that to be so.

Are you sure you casted the same level of spells with both characters? its a big difference between a level 1 and level 4 you know...and yeah ,i KNOW it is supposed to cast magic faster, but HOW much faster?
maybe its something like this:
Kyle at 151 Spd casts a level 1 spell, to cast a level 2 spell, he is down at 140(?)Spd, a level 3 spell he is down at 130(?) Spd and so on... maybe Incantation closes the gap, so he will cast a level 4 at 140Spd? or something...
I just wondered if there were any concrete info on this... :)
BUT the question is, will Kyle be a better/faster magic caster with SS in Zen Sword or A in Swift foot?

Some people on GameFaqs said that Incantation never sped up casting for them even at two S/SS ranks. Still better to stick any mages with Magic or the Sacred Oath epic anyway since you'll always be casting every turn anyway.
Kyle's a better melee fighter anyways with the glorius three rune combo.

You can ride through the whole game up until the final boss without incantation, against the Sun Rune it's important that healing spells are initiated before the incarnation uses it's attack, especially if you've slacked off and all your characters are only at about level 59 or 60. It also works great with the Dawn and Twighlight runes, by themselves and also in their healing and damaging unite attack.

Why don't you develop all his stats? |

why should i? i only use S in agility, SS in Zen Sword or A in swift foot as he doesnt have anything else so choose from IMO..
S in Attack is wasted, because heavy damage is 3 rune slots, not attack stat, and his S in defense.. its maybe useful if you plan to use him as a tank early on.. in new game+ maybe..(because there are many characters who fills that position way better than him anyway.)
