Introduction to combos==========================* 1.1 What is a combo?Definition of a combo: Two (or more) abilities of two (or more) party members combined with each other.I know that does not make so much sense. So I'll use the rest of this documentto make things a little bit more clear* 1.2 How to create a comboFirst of all, know that the computer will always take the order that you set your party members in. Let's say that Ryu and Nina are together. Let's say that Ryu learned "Burn" (from a "Mage Goo". That's the red goo). Let Ryu cast "Burn" and Nina cast "Sever". (I take Ryu in the 1st position andNina in the second). Now if you are lucky a combo will be created as soon asRyu's "burn" get comboed with Nina's spell you'll see a combo meter in the upper right corner of the screen. It will count how many hits the combo had andhow much damage points the combo did. Now you got your first combo :)* 1.3 Does a combo have some advantages?As a matter of fact... yes. You can create more powerful spells from combo's.In the combo example of section 1.2 you'll see that if a combo is created, Ninawon't cast "Sever", but "FireWind". And so you can create more spells. I'll tellyou more in section 2.Another nice thing of combo's is that it can provide more hits. Take this example:Ursula opens the combo with "Cyclone" and Nina follows with "Cyclone" and whathappens? Nina's "Cyclone" hits all the enemies twice. The second time the damageis less than the first time, but can still be significant and add more hits toyour combos.Creating combos has also a nice effect on the masters. There are three mastersthat ask you to make combos. Una, Rwolf and Kryrik. Una asks for the damage points. Rwolf and Kryrik ask both for the hits in combos.2. Creating new spells from combos==================================* 2.1 IntroductionThis is actually the beauty of combos. Creating a new spell by combining others.This combination is based on the elements. The order is important here.After a fire spell, you need wind to create an explosion spellAfter a wind spell, you need water to create a thunder spellAfter a water spell, you need earth to create a disaster spellAfter an earth spell, you need fire to create an eruption spell.For example: Ryu opens the combo with burn, Nina follows with "Wind" and you get the explosion spell "FireWind".It is always the spell that creates the spell. The first spell does not matteras long as it's the right element. So Burn+sever=Firewind, but burn+typhoon isgigaflare. but Inferno+server=firewind.If a comboed spell is followed up by a dragon ability (like "Hwajeh") you cancreate an even more powerfull spell.* 2.1 Spell list Fire + Wind -----> Explosion Fire Spell + Sever / Eddy -----> FireWind Fire Spell + Cyclone ----------> Simoon Fire Spell + Typhoon ----------> Gigaflare Dragon: Fire Spell + Wind + Ar'yu-Pung > Earthbreaker Wind + Water -----> Thunder Wind + Frost ------------------> Jolt Wind + Iceblast ---------------> Lightning Wind + Blizzard ---------------> Thunderstorm Dragon: Wind + Water + Pa'Bing-a ------> Mjollnir (GameShark Required) Water + Earth ----> Disaster Water + Rockblast -------------> Storm Water + Stone Pillar ----------> Tempest Water + Quake -----------------> Disaster Dragon: Water + Earth + Pat'oh-pah ----> Catastrophe Earth + Fire ----> Eruption Earth + Burn / Flare ----------> Eruption Earth + Fireblast -------------> Magma Blast Earth + Inferno ---------------> Ragnarok Dragon: Earth + Fire + Hwajeh ---------> SuperNova* 2.2 Secret CombosThe game contains a few secret combo spells. Those can only be castwith one certain person in the 3rd row.Personally I think those combos aren't worth the trouble, but tomake this Guide complete, I'll add them. Nina's secret Combo Fire Magic + Wind Magic + Melee Ability (by Nina) ----> Phoenix Ursula's secret Combo Earth magic + Fire magic + Melee Ability (by Ursula) --> Reflect Scias' secret Combo Wind magic + Water magic + Melee Ability (by Scias) --> Ice Sword 3. The 70 hit combo===================Want to get rid of all the master trouble who ask much hits per combo? Here'sthe way to perform a 70 hit combo. That's the maximum you'll need. Kryrik theone that asks for those absurd combo's will ask 70 hit for his last move"Disembowel". Before I tell you I want to thank marshalllovell, for telling me about this possibility. I checked it and it works....First of all you need the spell "Celerity" which can be learned from masterAbbess in the city of Chek. She'll teach it to you after you've met 100 ormore diffrent kind of enemies. This spell must be given to any other party member than Scias or Nina. Now you must handle carefully because if you messup it will take 3 hours before you can cast "Celerity" again. To perform thiscombo I prefer to go to the old Chek village (the place where Rasso slaugterseverybody and where Ryu went berserk). Why? Because the enemies there willhardly fight and are there to pratise combos. When you get a fight, handlethis way. Put the one who has Celerity in the first position and Scias andNina in the 2nd and 3rd position. Let the first position character cast"Celerity" and Nina and Scias should cast "Vitalize", if all the three spells get combined in the combo it'll become a 70 hit combo.4.
