Skill Changes in ReDux (* are the changes)

JUSTIN


Name: W-Break

Type: Skill

Level Requirements: Sword 6, Mace 4

SP Cost: 20 *28

Power (STR%): 300

Execute Time: 60 *40

W-Break is a skill that Justin learns after honing his ability in both the sword and mace.

W-Break is not only more powerful than V-Slash, but also has a high chance to inflict a critical hit, cancelling the enemy's attack. However, it's slower in execution at lower levels.



*CHANGES IN REDUX

In Grandia ReDux, W-Break can be executed faster at lower levels, but now has both a higher cost and a lower critical hit chance.


W-Break is the preferred ability used when an enemy is about to use a dangerous attack. It's high chance to critically hit, along with higher damage output makes it a better alternative to V-Slash when fighting a more dangerous foe.




Name: Shockwave

Type: Skill

Level Requirements: Mace 7, Axe 5

SP Cost: 30 *22

Power (STR%): 200 *140

Execute Time: 90 *50

Effect: None

Target: Area of Effect

Radius: 30

Critical Chance: 10% *5%

IP Knockback: 3000 *0

Experience Gain: 10




Shockwave is a skill that Justin learns which is a ranged attack that can also hit multiple enemies.




*CHANGES IN REDUX

In Grandia ReDux, Shockwave is weaker in that it causes less damage, has no IP knockback and a lower critical hit chance. However, it now also has a low SP cost and can be used much faster at lower levels.

Shockwave is a great ability to use when there are a lot of foes close to each other. It doesn't cause much damage compared to other skills, but its low SP cost means that it's an efficient tool to quickly stun a group of enemies and kill any foes with low HP.

In Grandia ReDux Complete, Shockwave has been altered to be Wind element, and as such it now also requires a certain level in Wind magic to learn.




Name: Midair Cut

Type: Skill

Level Requirements: Mace 10, Axe 12

SP Cost: 32 *40

Power (STR%): 350 *320

Execute Time: 60

Effect: None

Target: Single

Critical Chance: 100% *50%

IP Knockback: 8000

Experience Gain: 20





Midair Cut is a skill that Justinlearns which consists of a powerful spinning critical attack. This ability is ranged.



*CHANGES IN REDUX


In Grandia ReDux, Midair Cut is both more expensive and weaker than its original counterpart, and no longer guarantees a critical hit. However, it is still a powerful ability to use.


Midair Cut not only more powerful than W-Break, but its ranged capabilities allows it to be executed instantly. It also has a rather high critical hit chance, meaning it's great for cancelling powerful attacks.
