A Viki faliure?
So I was playing Suiko3 last night and I had big Viki in my party. I planned her to use Pale Gate to kill some troll dragons in the Cyndar Ruins. Then all of a sudden a white light came up and damaged her and another charcter right by her. I was WTF I could'nt believe that happen. I was'nt using the Blinking Rune so I did'nt know a spell cast from her would fail.
Can some one explain this and can other mages fail at spells?

it's called "backfire", which began in suikoden 2. Viki and Piccolo have have high backfire rates to go with their goofball personalities.
Alert/Hyper (Hyper is the actual status caused by Alert Rune and other items) may increase backfire rate. it does in Suikoden 2, to the point where McDohl has killed my party with his very own Soul Eater in Hyper status.
i've only seen backfire with Pale Gate lev 1 spells and the Blinking Rune, how bout you guys?

Viki backfired both the Cyclone rune and Thunder Rune in different playthroughs of my game. It only happened once, though.

We mostly notice both Viki's since they are mainly seen as good mages thanks to their skill rank in a lot of magic. So we ended giving her a variety of magic to customize her at our own will.
I think she backfired the thunder rune in a major battle in my game, though.

does little Vicki backfire as well? (she's not as much of a goofball, so I'd think....)
just... please read the thread. this was even a very short thread.RageRune wrote:It just happened to little Viki too. She was using a LV2 Pale Gate Rune and it damaged her and two other charcters right by her. I don't think that other mages have this fail rate unless I'm wrong.
