Disk icon.png Techniques, "Techs" for short, are seemingly magic skills that can only be used by humans and newmans.

Unlike normal attacks, Offensive Techniques have their effects based on your character's MST, and are reduced by the target's Resistances rather than their DFP. Offensive Techniques cannot miss (with the exception of Megid which has a trigger chance), but they also cannot deal Critical Hits.

Additionally there are a variety of Support Techniques that can, among other things, Heal or revive allies, raise/lower ATP/DFP and cure Status Ailments.

Techniques can learnt from Tech Disks that drop from enemies or boxes in the world, or can be bought from the Tool Shop. To learn a Technique from a disc your character must have sufficient base MST, the amount required depending on the type of technique and its level.

The maximum level for most Techniques is 30, however Non-Force classes are usually restricted to a maximum of 20 or 15. As Techniques grow in level they improve in most aspects. The effect is most dramatic for offensive Techniques that benefit from faster cast times, longer range, greater area of effect and of course improved damage.

Detailed Tech Base Values

Technique levels past 15 use a different set of base power and power scaling values.

Base Values Table

Tech Base Power (1-15) Base Power (16-30) Power Growth (2-15) Power Growth (16-30) Maximum Targets
Foie 110 -85 50 65 1
Gifoie 260 30 26 42 10
Rafoie 350 370 22 21 10
Barta 50 -125 50 63 1
Gibarta 230 0 24 40 10
Rabarta 400 470 19 15 10
Zonde 80 5 50 55 1
Gizonde 200 -30 22 38 10
Razonde 450 550 16 9 10
Grants 1180 1400 75 60 1
Megid 27 42 3 2 1
Resta 50 -20 5 10 10

From these values we can derive the growth in Tech power per tech level using this formula:

  • Tech Base Power + (Tech Growth * Tech Level-1)

Tech Scaling Table

Using the formula above we can represent Technique growth per level with this table

Technical Data

Damage Formula

For Techniques that deal damage, you can find that damage using this formula

  • Damage = round(((TechPower + MST) * 0.2 * (1 + Boosts) * (100 - Resistance) / 100), 1) = round(((TechPower + MST) * (100 - Resistance) * (1 + Boosts) * 0.002), 1)

Healing Formula

To find the amount Resta can heal, use this formula

  • HP Restored = 50 + 5*(Tech Level - 1) + (MST/2)

Megid

Megid is unique in that while it has a base power and power scaling like other offensive techs it cannot deal damage.

Instead its power represents its percentage chance to instantly kill the target. This chance is reduced directly by an enemy's EDK (Dark) Resistance.

  • For example, a level 30 Megid has a Tech Power of 100, which gives it a base 100% chance to kill its target instantly. If you were to hit an enemy with 80EDK this chance would be reduced to 20%.

Casting Animation

The Technique casting animation is made up of several parts:

  1. Movement from Neutral to Charge
  2. The actual Charge (instant for many)
  3. The movement from Charge to Cast
  4. The "Cooling" period after Casting (notably the least for Gizonde, and the most for Gifoie)
  5. Moving back to neutral

V801 reduces the time taken by parts 2 and 3. Male bare-handed casting only shortens part 3, and by exactly four frames, regardless of technique level or type.
