Kika's Falcon Attack
Kika's Falcon Attack (which supposedly does approximately 3x dmg...) seems different than other Rune Attacks.
first of all, it doesn't start the same way--Mizuki and Reinbach's rune atks are treated like spells; they use a "cast magic" animation.
secondly, the Falcon Attack seems to go for multiple hits and it is NOT consistent. sometimes you'll see numbers following one after another immediately, other times you'll see some blank space before another number appears. this leads me to believe that the attack is a multi-strike attempt with a miss rate--what might this miss rate be? maybe just based on her skill, or perhaps it follows a "-10% miss rate" like in Suikoden 2, which might mean for any target she gets 9/10 hits but that's not the case i've seen... i am guessing it's -10% based on her Skill OR just based on her Skill, since there is no mention of a miss rate in this game.
while all hits do approximately the same amount of damage, which seems to be 1/4 of her total standard atk (i add up both sword swings). the last attack always looks like it does 1/2 (double the previous numbers) of her normal atk. if the attack does UP TO 3x, then i can deduce that she attempts 11 strikes total, the last being a (definite hit?) "special" or "critical (compared to her other strikes)" 1/2x, others are 1/4x.
.5 + 10*.25 = 3.0
she does miss though so it is not always 3.0x
lastly, her Falcon Atk still leaves the elemental dmg animation if she has an element on her wpn, so it is very much treated like a regular attack..

This is infact very much indeed true
Her attacks does seem to do 1/4 her attack each hit
And she does deliver a strong final hit maybe close to 1/2 her attack power
about the miss percentage though ... well .... It doesn't seem fit somehow
I don't know how to explain this but if take in count that she has to do x3
damage .. missing a hit or two just wont do it

I don't know, maybe or more than that....just imagine how many life points the Land Dragon has....I think his life points is around 5,000.

like i said, i can't count the amt of hits it does but i deduce it based on our assumptions on the numbers and my observations i've made on how much dmg she does compared to her total attack value. i actually haven't really factored in defense, but that's because most of my testing was done on the weaker reinhold challenges, where the enemies have little defense anyways.

Re: Kika's Falcon Attack
Actually, I think its interesting how different Falcon Rune users can exhibit different uses of the attack. Look at Belcoot who did one massive strike and was unbalanced for a turn. Kika's reminded me a lot of Valeria's use of the rune, and I think even Anita had a different use that that. I'm drawing a blank but was there a falcon rune in the third game?
Anyway, I just thought it was neat how the different people seemed to have different affinities with the rune.

Re: Kika's Falcon Attack
I think the falcon rune was replaced with the phoniex rune that Chris had. I mean it's the closest thing u can get to "falcon" in 3.jonathan_priest wrote:I'm drawing a blank but was there a falcon rune in the third game?
If im wrong someone tell me.
