Certain boosts will be applied to techniques depending on the type of [[Force]] casting the technique, or if certain items are equipped at the time of casting.  
* Attack techniques will have their ''damage'' boosted by a fixed percentage (with the exception of {{Megid|n}}, which gains the ability to pierce).

===Casting Animation===
The full technique casting animation is composed of four distinct animations: <code>''startup->charge time->cast time->endlag''</code>
:<code>''startup''</code> is the first movement your character does when you begin to cast a technique, and it is always 6 frames.<br><code>''charge time''</code> is a stationary animation  after startup that is accompanied by particle effects and ranges from 15 frames to completely absent (0 frames).<br><code>''cast time''</code> is the time from the end of the charge animation to when TP is deducted and the technique's effect happens.<br><code>''endlag''</code> is the amount of time after the technique is cast that the player cannot move or perform any actions.
Casting speed varies between techniques, classes, and even specific weapons. Techniques in any context reach their maximum casting speed at or before Lv16.
=====Casting Speed Modifications=====
The rare unit {{Unit|rare|V801}} is the only item in the game that explicitly increases casting speed.
Other factors that affect casting speed outside of the V801 include technique/level, character class, whether the player is armed or unarmed, and in unique cases the specific weapon the character is using. For detailed information and exact casting speed data, see [[Game mechanics/Frame data#Techniques|Game mechanics/Frame data]].

Disk icon.pngTechniques (commonly referred to as "techs" or "spells") are unique abilities that can only be used by human and newman characters. As with Hunters and melee weapons, and Rangers and ranged weapons, techniques are considered to be the primary attacking method for Forces.

Unlike regular attacks, technique damage is based on a character's MST, and is reduced by a target's resistances rather than their DFP. Techniques also ignore EVP, as they cannot miss unless they fail to make contact with their target. Techniques cannot deal critical hits. There are also a variety of support techniques that can heal or revive allies, raise or lower ATP and DFP, cure status effects, or even create a Telepipe to Pioneer 2.

Techniques can be learned from technique "disks" (not to be confused with music disks), which may be obtained via purchasing them from the Tools Shop on Pioneer 2, or by finding them on Ragol. To learn a technique from a disk, a character must have a base MST that meets or exceeds the required MST determined by the disk. Techniques require MST to learn and cost TP to cast, which prevents androids from using them. The amount of MST and TP required to learn and cast a technique depends on the type of techique as well as its level.

The highest level for most techniques is 30; however, non-Force classes are restricted to a maximum of 15 or 20 (in the case of Anti.pngAnti, the highest level is 7, with some classes being restricted to level 5).

Techniques improve as higher technique levels are learned. The effect is most promiminent for attack techniques, which benefit from increases in damage, cast speed, targeting range, area of effect, and enhanced visual effects. Non-damaging techniques, such as Resta.pngResta, will improve in cast speed, range, and effectiveness. Support techniques, such as Shifta.pngShifta, will also improve in duration.

Techniques can be further improved by boosts found on each of the specific Force classes, with similar boosts also being found on various equipment. The only techniques that are not boosted by at least one of the Force classes are Jellen.pngJellen and Zalure.pngZalure. There are no boosts to Reverser.pngReverser or Ryuker.pngRyuker.

List of techniques[edit | edit source]

Attack techniques[edit | edit source]

Attack techniques deal a fixed amount of base damage which scales up based on multiple factors. These techniques are classified into three categories based on their power and function: Simple, Normal, and Hard.

Attack techniques are affected by the target's resistance to the technique's damage type, rather than by the target's DFP. A target's EVP stat will not allow a technique to be dodged, nor will the caster's LCK stat allow a technique to deal a critical hit.

Simple techniques[edit | edit source]

Simple techniques (sometimes called "Si" techniques) are the easiest to learn, cost the least amount of TP, and are capable of dealing high single-target damage.

Icon Name Description
Foie.png Foie A fire technique. Burns a single enemy with a ball of fire.
Zonde.png Zonde A lightning technique. Strikes a single enemy from above with lightning.
Barta.png Barta An ice technique. A penetrating linear ice attack.

Normal techniques[edit | edit source]

Normal techniques (sometimes called "Gi" techniques, for the prefix) are capable of striking multiple targets, but cost more TP to cast.

Icon Name Description
Gifoie.png Gifoie A fire technique. Ring of fire burns any nearby enemies.
Gizonde.png Gizonde A lightning technique. Strikes enemies in a chain reaction.
Gibarta.png Gibarta An ice technique. Freezes enemies with ice projectiles.

Hard techniques[edit | edit source]

Hard techniques (sometimes called "Ra" techniques, for the prefix, though this can exclude Grants and Megid) have the highest MST requirements and TP costs of all techniques. These cover the three standard elements, but also include Grants.pngGrants and Megid.pngMegid, which are the only available light- and dark-element techniques, respectively. Hard techniques are characterized by their high area-of-effect damage, while Grants and Megid offer situationally powerful single-target options.

Icon Name Description
Rafoie.png Rafoie A fire technique. Large fiery explosion burns all nearby enemies.
Razonde.png Razonde A lightning technique. Strikes all surrounding enemies.
Rabarta.png Rabarta An ice technique. Launches arrows of ice to freeze nearby enemies.
Grants.png Grants A light technique. Strikes 1 enemy with countless arrows of light.
Megid.png Megid A dark technique. Strikes an enemy with a Curse of Death.

Recovery techniques[edit | edit source]

Recovery techniques heal the user and/or their target, either by recovering HP, curing status effects, or reviving fallen teammates.

Icon Name Description
Resta.png Resta HP restoration technique. Helps nearby teammates at higher levels (Lv. 3+).
Anti.png Anti Status restoration technique. Helps nearby teammates at higher levels (Lv. 2+).
Reverser.png Reverser A revival technique. Revives 1 fallen teammate back to life.

Support techniques[edit | edit source]

Support techniques allow a user to raise their allies' ATP and DFP, reduce their enemies' ATP and DFP, and return to Pioneer 2 if needed.

Icon Name Description
Shifta.png Shifta Attack-enhancing technique. Also helps teammates at higher levels (Lv. 3+).
Deband.png Deband A defensive boost technique. Helps teammates as well, at higher levels (Lv. 3+).
Jellen.png Jellen Attack-weakening technique. Can affect enemies near the target (Lv. 3+).
Zalure.png Zalure Defense-weakening technique. Can affect enemies near the target (Lv. 3+).
Ryuker.png Ryuker Opens a teleport gate to the city until the creator returns through it.

Technique levels[edit | edit source]

As mentioned previously, different classes have different maximum levels they can learn for Techniques. The table below shows the maximum level of techniques for each class. Simple, normal, and hard attack techniques are grouped together, with Grants.pngGrants and Megid.pngMegid listed separately from the other hard attack techniques.

A dash ("-") represents that the class cannot learn the respective Technique(s), while Ryuker.pngRyuker and Reverser.pngReverser, which only have a single level, are indicated with "Yes."

Techniques Maximum Level
HUmar HUnewearl RAmar RAmarl Forces
Attack Barta.pngSimple 15 20 15 20 30
Gizonde.pngNormal
Rafoie.pngHard
Grants.pngGrants
Megid.pngMegid
- 30
Recovery Resta.pngResta 15 20 15 20 30
Anti.pngAnti 5 7 5 7 7
Reverser.pngReverser - Yes
Support Shifta.pngShifta
Deband.pngDeband
- 20 15 20 30
Jellen.pngJellen
Zalure.pngZalure
15 20 - 20 30
Ryuker.pngRyuker Yes

Technique boosts[edit | edit source]

Certain boosts will be applied to techniques depending on the type of Force casting the technique, or if certain items are equipped at the time of casting.

  • Attack techniques will have their damage boosted by a fixed percentage.
    • Megid.pngMegid is the exception to this, and instead gains the ability to pierce enemies.
  • Recovery and Support techniques will have their range boosted.

If multiple boosts apply, the percentage boosts are applied additively, meaning every applicable percentage bonus is added together before multiplying the damage by the final result. For example, if a character is benefitting from two +30% damage boosts to Foie.pngFoie (e.g. a FOnewearl with an equipped Shield icon.pngFoie Merge), Foie's damage will be boosted by +60%. Multiple boosts to Megid will not have any further effect.

Class-based boosts[edit | edit source]

Each of the Forces receive their own boosts to specific techniques, which are as follows:

Class Technique(s) Boost
FOmar Gifoie.pngGibarta.pngGizonde.png Grants.png +30% damage
Shifta.pngDeband.png +100% range
FOmarl Grants.png +50% damage
Resta.pngAnti.pngShifta.pngDeband.png +100% range
FOnewm Gifoie.pngGibarta.pngGizonde.png +30% damage
Rafoie.pngRabarta.pngRazonde.png
FOnewearl Foie.pngBarta.pngZonde.png +30% damage
Megid.png Pierces
Resta.pngAnti.png +100% range

Equipment-based boosts[edit | edit source]

The following equipment will boost specific techniques, depending on the individual item, while equipped.

For techniques with effects that occur instantly (e.g. Shifta.pngShifta, Deband.pngDeband), the equipment must be equipped at the time of cast. For techniques with a travel time (e.g. Barta.pngBarta), it is possible to cast the technique without the item equipped, and still receive the boost by equipping the item before the technique strikes its target.

  • This is especially notable for the technique Gifoie.pngGifoie, which can be cast multiple times before it expands outward enough to strike any targets (potentially faster if cast on a male character without a weapon equipped), and still receive the boost by quickly equipping a weapon such as Cane icon.pngFire Sceptre: Agni or Cane icon.pngMagical Piece before targets take damage.

Damage formula[edit | edit source]

Techniques that deal damage can have that damage calculated with this formula:

  • Damage = round(((TechPower + MST) * 0.2 * (1 + Boosts) * (100 - Resistance) / 100), 1)

Healing formula[edit | edit source]

The amount of HP restored by Resta.pngResta can be calculated with this formula:

  • HP Restored = Tech Power + (MST/2)

Megid formula[edit | edit source]

Megid.pngMegid functions differently than every other attack technique. While it has a base power and power scaling like other attack techniques, Megid.pngMegid does not deal damage. Instead, Megid.pngMegid's power directly represents its percent chance to instantly kill its target. This chance is reduced by the target's EDK.

Megid.pngMegid's chance to kill follows the linear formula of:

  • Success chance = Tech Power - (Resistance)

Thus, if level 30 Megid.pngMegid (with a Tech Power of 100) strikes a target with 80 EDK, the success chance will be 20%.

Equipment that boosts Megid.pngMegid will not improve its chance to kill, but will instead cause it to pierce through enemies, allowing the technique to hit multiple targets in a single cast.

Casting Animation[edit | edit source]

The full technique casting animation is composed of four distinct animations: startup->charge time->cast time->endlag

startup is the first movement your character does when you begin to cast a technique, and it is always 6 frames.
charge time is a stationary animation after startup that is accompanied by particle effects and ranges from 15 frames to completely absent (0 frames).
cast time is the time from the end of the charge animation to when TP is deducted and the technique's effect happens.
endlag is the amount of time after the technique is cast that the player cannot move or perform any actions.

Casting speed varies between techniques, classes, and even specific weapons. Techniques in any context reach their maximum casting speed at or before Lv16.

Casting Speed Modifications[edit | edit source]

The rare unit Unit icon.pngV801 is the only item in the game that explicitly increases casting speed.

Other factors that affect casting speed outside of the V801 include technique/level, character class, whether the player is armed or unarmed, and in unique cases the specific weapon the character is using. For detailed information and exact casting speed data, see Game mechanics/Frame data.

Technique disks drop table[edit | edit source]

See also: Level 30 technique drop charts

This table lists the percentage distribution of specific techniques when a technique disk is dropped, and at what level(s) they can drop, for each area in each difficulty. Table cells in green highlight areas where a maximum-level technique disk can be found, with maximum-level Attack techniques being significantly rarer than maximum-level Support techniques.
