Attack Nature and character Status

Attacks can be of ten different types, called "Natures":

• Normal

• Fire

• Ice

• Thunder

• Earth

• Poison

• Holy

• Dark

• Explosion

• Mind

Each character has an amount of "protection" from each nature, that represents how high is its chance to resist an attack of the given nature.

You will face enemies that are strong against certain natures, but extremely weak against others.

For information about enemies and hints about their natures, see the → Bestiary.

A "Status" is a state that a character can enter. This can happen as a result from an attack, from the use of an item or from a spell.

Many status are negative and inflict some kind of malus to the character, but others are positive and can help the character.

• Asleep : the character sleeps and cannot perform actions

• Stone: the character is made of stone and cannot perform actions or be attacked. A character in Stone is considered in KO.

• Dark: the character is blinded and suffers a malus to its ability to perform attacks.

• Poison: the character is poisoned and periodically loses HP

• Slow: the character's action bar is slowed down

• Fury: the character can perform only physical attacks with a damage bonus from 30% to 60%. All received damage gets a +20%

• Chaos: the character can't be controlled and will act randomly

• Frozen: the character can't be used and is more vulnerable to enemies' attacks and could break into pieces when hit.

• Burn: the character is on fire and periodically loses HP

• Empty Mind: the character cannot cast spells

• Adrenalyn: the character's action bars increases in a faster way

• Regeneration: the character periodically gains HP

• Shield: the damage suffered from a physical attack is halved

• Mirror: reflects all the spells directed to the target

• Invincible: the character is immune to damage and statuses

The slot on the lower left corner near the character's picture will show the statuses active on the party member. The active statuses are also visible over the character's head and some statuses cause the character to change appearance. Once the battle is over, the character statuses will be reset.

Spell book

Equipping bubbles

Dream bubbles can be equipped in attack or defense slots. The total number of attack slots is given by the sum of your character's attack slots and its equipped weapon's slots. In the same way, the total number of defense slots is given by the sum of your character's defense slots and its equipped armor's slots.

There are bubbles that can be equipped either in attack or in defense, bubbles that can be used only in attack, and bubbles that can be used only in defense.

	This symbol marks a bubble that can be equipped either in or in defense
	This symbol marks a bubble that can be equipped only in an attack slot
	This symbol marks a bubble that can be equpped only in a defense slot

A bubble's level represent its strength and is represented by one, two or three stars inside the bubble. The higher the level, the strongest the spells provided by the bubble.

Some bubbles have a fixed level.

Spells

The only way to obtain spells is to equip Dream bubbles that provide spells to the character. The spells can be normal or counter-effect.

A counter-effect spell is marked by a triangle

Normal spells (usually provided when the bubble is equipped in an attack slot) cause an effect over a target, while counter-effect spells (usually provided when the bubble is equipped in a defense slot) are used to remove a "status", caused by a normal spell or by an enchanted weapon or item (poisoned, frozen, stone, fury...)

Some bubbles, in addition to the use of a spell, may provide some sort of protection or immunity when equipped in a defense slot.

Bubble characteristics

A nature protection raises your chances to resist an attack of that nature.

A status immunity raises your chances to avoid entering in a status.
