Intro
This guide is here for anyone having trouble understanding how certain moves work, or for just finding out what character does what. I tried to be as clear as possible with the descriptions so everyone can understand. Characters are listed by order unlocked.

I've gone out and listed the following for each character:
  • Stats
    Health, Attack, Speed, and base iddhi generated.
  • Roles
    What the character is mainly used for (e.g. healer, AoE attacks, etc).
  • Recommended Position
    What position in the party the character works best in.
  • Move List
    A simple list of what attacks a character has.
    • Neutral - The attack executed when pressing the character's attack button.
    • Down - The attack executed when pressing the character's attack button with the down button held down.
    • Up - The attack executed when pressing the character's attack button with the up button held down or held up for controllers.
    • Special (1 Bar) - The attack executed when holding the focus button + pressing the character's attack button once.
    • Special (2 Bars) - The attack executed when holding the focus button + pressing the character's attack button twice.
    • Special (3 Bars) - The attack executed when holding the focus button + pressing the character's attack button three times.
    • Airborne - If an attack can hit airborne targets.
    • Area - The direction of an attack. This dictates the direction enemies must be aligned in order to be hit at the same time.
    • Iddhi Generated - The amountof iddhi generatedby an attack. Documents the first attack and the follow up attack if different.
  • Move Usage
    A detailed description of each move.
  • Basic Gameplay
    How I use the character. Probably the most opinionated part of this guide, but I tried to keep it as factual as possible.
  • Combos
    Any potential combos that I've found while writing this guide.

I'll be adding characters as I go through the game, and updating already documented characters as more information is discovered. Feedback would be appreciated.
Defining Some Terms
I use some terms that might be confusing for some people. This mostly relates to how I define a character's role.

Area
The direction an attack's hitbox travels. They can either be horizontal or vertical.
  • Horizontal
The direction of most attacks. The hitbox of the attack travels from right to left, and damages any targets that are horizontally aligned. Prime examples are Anja's Normal Follow up attack, Phoebe's Normal attack, and Tungar's Special attacks 1&2.


  • Vertical
The direction of most AoE attacks. The hitbox of the attack extends up and down from the character, and damages any targets that are vertically aligned. Most attacks that effect a vertical area also have a large horizontal area as well. Prime examples include Dhar's Normal attack, Razmi's Special 3 attack, and Anja's 3rd Normal Follow up attack.

Support
Any character who's gimmick relies on supporting other party members rather than attacking.

AoE Damage
Put simply, they do damage to multiple foes with one attack. Examples include Dhar's Special attacks and Razmi's Special 2&3 attacks.

Burst Damage
Characters that deal damage in large "chucks" rather than constant quick attacks. A prime example is how Dhar's Down attack let's him store attacks to power up high damage attacks.

Position
I use "Face The Enemy" formation, which makes it so that my party is always oriented the same way. Front is front, back is back, and top & bottom are "sides".
Position in the party is relevant for characters like Thorani, who's attacks require some movement planning.


Follow up Attack
Any attack that is executed directly after a previous attack. The basis of most combos, and the main way to utilize Anja's attacks.
The Four Basic Stats - WIP
Every character has a balance of three stats: health, attack, and speed. These three stats are balanced in a way that keeps every character balanced.
For example, while Razmi and Phoebe may have high attack values, they're speed is next to nothing.

Health
Health determines how much health a character has. Typically, characters that have healing abilities have lower health.

Attack
The base damage a character's attacks have. Characters with high attack values are able to output damage in the thousands, albeit with long recharges in between.

Speed
How fast a character's attack charges recharge. Characters with a higher speed stat are able to spam attacks at a fast rate.

Base Iddhi
Every character generates a small amount of iddhi when starting an attack. Characters with higher attack values usually have a lower base iddhi.


Attack vs Speed
The one thing that everyone in the comments keeps asking about. Sure, some characters have higher attack, but those with higher speed can also output just as much damage. Characters like Yan can actually have a higher damage output than the likes of Phoebe and Razmi because their attacks just recharge so fast. Not to mention that characters with higher speed generate iddhi faster than slower, hard-hitting characters.

DPS Calculations
Coming Soon.
Iddhi Building
On the top of the battle screen, you'll find the Iddhi meter. You can fill the meter by executing attacks. Once a bar is filled, you can use a character's special attack. Each character has three special attacks, each attack costing 1-3 bars.

Info on building Iddhi
  • All attacks generate a base amount of iddhi on activation. All calculations take this into account.
  • The amount of base iddhi generated is character dependent. It will be listed on the character's page.
  • Follow up attacks typically generate an extra (1) iddhi. This is shown in a character's move list.
  • Special moves do not generate iddhi.
  • Damage does not factor into iddhi generation. Generation is determined by the attack and number of targets hit.
  • Breaking the guard of a shielded target generates 30 extra iddhi.
  • Attacking shielded targets generates 50% less iddhi.
  • Any target that is knocked up into the air and then hit while in air will generate 3-5 extra iddhi.

Iddhi Build Charts
The following charts measure roughly how much iddhi can be generated from a single combo with a character. All calculations were performed in the training arena, against the single target practice and 5-target practice.
  • (air) denotes that a target should be hit while still in the air.
  • All of Qadria's attacks include the bonus follow-up attack.
While this only measures at attack level three, I've found that at levels 4 & 5 the rankings remain almost the same. Refer to a character's section for how much iddhi is generated on a per attack basis.
This helps you understand a general ranking of what characters are decent at building iddhi. Combine this with the speed of each character to understand how fast each character can build iddhi.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Grounded Slash
Dhar slashes at the target. This will hit multiple targets if they are close enough, which is almost always. This attack can be comboed with either another Neutral attack or Up attacks in quick succession, but does not deal any extra damge however.
This attack benefits from Dhar's Down attack.

Picture 1 is a non-boosted attack. Picture 2 shows a boosted attack.


Down Attack: Earthen Fury
Dhar stores one attack in order to power up another attack. You can gauge how much power you've stored by the amount of stone orbiting Dhar. Each attack consumes one charge of the stored power.
Here's how it interacts with Dhar's attacks:
  • Neutral: Attack hits four times for each target hit (excludes airborne targets)
  • Up: Attack hits twice.
  • Special: Does nothing
Strangely, Dhar's Neutral and Special attacks appear to not work properly when used on airborne foes. The charge is consumed, but the damage remains the same as a regular attack. I also couldn't find a difference in the damage of boosted special attacks while writing this. It's either bugged or has a specific trigger.


Up Attack: Stalactite Spike
Dhar jumps into the air and slashes at the target. This is an easy way to bring airborne targets down into melee range. Do note that it does not ground airborne targets, but rather makes them fly lower. Two Up attacks are required to ground airborne targets.
Pressing either Normal attack or Up attack directly after an Up attack will execute another up attack. Keep this in mind if you have a habit of button mashing, as a Normal attack that is input during an Up attack will just become an Up attack.
This attack can hit multiple targets that are horizontal.

Picture 1 is a non-boosted attack. Picture 2 shows multi-hit range.


Special Attack (1 Bar): Groundpound
Dhar slams the field with a giant stone sword, hitting everything in the area. This includes airborne foes.








Special Attack (2 Bars): Earthbreaker
Dhar slams the field with a giant stone sword, hitting everything in the area. This includes airborne foes. This does ~70% more damage than special attack 1.







Special Attack (3 Bars): Terraquake
Dhar slams the field with a giant stone sword, hitting everything in the area. This includes airborne foes. This does ~60% more damage than special attack 2.








Basic Gameplay
Dhar is great because he can deal out high single-target damage and has AoE attacks that can hit a lot of targets at once. He even has an up attack that works on the first attack looking at you, Anja. He's a flexible damage character that can work well in a variety or situations.

Dhar's only minor drawback is that he does need to charge up before he can deal some solid damage. This is minor mainly because of how fast his attacks recharge. For being listed as a 1.5 speed, he attacks recharge at a rate closer to that of a 2 or 2.5 speed.


Combos

Basic Combo
  • Down Attack
  • Down Attack (skip if attack level is lower than 4)
  • Normal attack
  • Normal attack
Use this when you just need to deal damage. Boosting Dhar's normal attack will make it hit four times. Adding in the fact that it is almost guaranteed to hit all targets on the field, you can deal out a lot of damage quickly with this combo.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Bom
Bom flames a target for a good amount of damage. The attack can hit airborne targets. You can follow up with another Neural attack that hits twice.

Picture 1 is the base attack, picture 2 is a follow up attack.


Down Attack: Glare
Razmi curses the target, causing them to have a longer wait between attacks. From what I was able to measure, each curse level causes the target to attack ~33% slower, up to 100% slower at level 3. You can tell what level curse a target has by how dark it is shaded. This attack also does a small amount of damage.

Pictures show the color difference between a level 1 and level 3 glare.


Up Attack: Pounce
Bom launches upwards from the ground to the target. This means that if you target an airborne target with foes below it, it will hit both. It does slightly less damage than her Neutral attack. This attack will hit multiple targets in a rather large area. You can follow up with another Up or Neutral attack that hits twice (pressing Neutral attack just executes another Up attack).

Picture 1 is the base attack, picture 2 is a follow up attack.


Special Attack (1 Bar): Calming Aura
Razmi heals the party for a large amount of health. Use this when you're in trouble. If you're using Razmi as your main healer, you'll be using this a lot.







Special Attack (2 Bars): Vengeful Spirit
Razmi launches Bom forward across the field, hitting everything in his path. This attack is devastating against large groups of foes. It also knocks down airborne foes. It consists of two parts:
  • Bom
    Bom will travel across the field, dealing damage once to every foe on the field.
  • Bom's Tail
    Mlutiple flame pillars will follow Bom as he moves across the field. Each pillar knocks the target back, knocking them into the next incoming pillar.


Special Attack (3 Bars): Hellfire
Razmi calls in an orbital strike unleashes Bom, having him rain down fire on the target's side of the field causing massive damage. This hits everything on the field.
This attack works best when Razmi is next to the target, as the flames will deal damage as they travel upwards. Use a Down attack before using this attack to get closer to the target (thanks to the twisted ancient for pointing this out)! For maximum damage, target the enemy at the back of the field.
Razmi & Bom (cont.)
Basic Gameplay
Razmi excels at dealing with large groups of foes. Special attacks 2 & 3 can hit multiple foes read: everything at once, and up attack can as well to a lesser degree. She can even heal a good amount of health for just one bar too, making her a good all-around character. I am unsure yet if Razmi works well enough as a lone healer (she's probably fine).
Glare works best on targets that already have long waits between attacks. It does not affect some bosses however.

Razmi's major drawback is her small health pool. You'll need to watch her health closely to know when to drop some healing.
She also has one of the lowest speeds of all the characters. Her attacks can take a long time to recharge if you blow them all at once. This also makes comboing harder.
Her iddhi generation is also quite low.

Razmi's minor drawback is that she doesn't become powerful until you get three meter charges. Having your only source of healing eat the entire meter is a pain, and not to mention that you don't get her devastating AoE attacks. She becomes much better later on.


Combos
With her slow speed, most of the time you'll be saving Razmi's attacks for when you're able to use her special. Her up attack works well with other party members, but the recharge on her attacks makes comboing with her a pain.

Claws of Bom
  1. Neutral Attack/Up Attack
  2. Same Attack (repeat as many times as desired)
Razmi's basic combo is a basic chain of attacks. Using one of her Neutral or Up attacks will start a chain of attacks that and go on until you run out of attacks. Use this to deal the maximum amount of damage with no Special attack usage.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Mortar Mash
Ginseng runs at the target and grinds the mortar & pestle, doing a small amount of damage to the target. The second and third neutral attacks in a row last longer than the initial neutral attack. If you're aiming for damage, three neutral attacks is the easiest way to do damage.
This attack as a secondary function, which is to charge up their Up attack. The attack does not need to damage a target in order to charge their Up attack.
Iddhi generation:
  • First attack
    Base 2 iddhi. Hits 2 & 3 generate 2 iddhi.
  • Follow up attacks
    Base 4 iddhi. First hit generates 2 iddhi, next four hits generate 1 iddhi.
  • Ending
    Final hit adds +1 iddhi.


Down Attack: Grab Bag
Honey grabs a random object from Ginseng's bag and throws it at the target. The attack does moderate damage. This can be used to fully ground any airborne targets, bringing them in range for your Neutral attack (or other melee characters).
This attack can be powered up by Special attack 1. See that move for details.

Honey splashes the mortar around, directly healing all party members and damaging any targets in range. This attack can be powered up each time you use the Neutral attack, up to a total of 5 times (6 levels of healing). Each level does progressively more healing. See the chart for healing per level. As you can see, the health restored exponentially scales up with each level.



Special Attack (1 Bar): Forage
Ginseng plucks an object from the ground and stores it in their bag. This object can then be thrown at a target for moderately high damage. Please keep in mind that you can only hold one object at a time, and any extra objects collected after the first won't stack.


Special Attack (2 Bars): Grab Bag Blitz
Honey grabs all the random objects in Ginseng's bag and throws it at the target. This attack does decent damage, but does not hit multiple targets.
As a bonus, if you have an object saved from using special attack 1, it will be added to the end of the attack. The object will deal massive damage, more than if it was used as a standard Down attack.


Special Attack (3 Bars): Potent Concoction
Ginseng runs at the target and grinds the mortar & pestle for about the length of three neutral attacks. The mortar then explodes, showering liquid in a large area around them. The liquid does a good amount of damage to any targets within it's range. Contrary to what you would expect, the attack does not heal allies.


Basic Gameplay
Ginseng is going to be your primary healer until you either unlock Thorani or have enough special meters to use Razmi as a healer both happen at the same time. Even then, Ginseng is able to heal through direct healing, which is a big plus.

One of Ginseng's major drawbacks is their low health. Always pay attention to how low their health is falling, as losing them will deprive you of your main source of healing.

The minor drawback of Ginseng is that all of their "good" moves are burst moves. A good Up attack requires you to Neutral attack 4 times. Their Down attack requires one meter charge before it can deal good damage. You'll need to plan their actions at least a turn in advance to get the most out of them.


Combos

Medicinal Mash
  1. Neutral Attack
  2. Neutral Attack
  3. Up Attack

This basic combo is for when you need to dish out some healing. It will boost your Up attack to level three, letting you heal a good amount of health while dealing a moderate amount of damage. You can add additional Neutral attacks depending on your attack level.

* Zebei's arrows will collide with the first target in a horizontal line. If they were to collide with nothing, they would travel across the entire field.
** Zebei will run directly up to the target when executing the attack. This can cause you to exclude foes in the front of the field if you target one in the back.


Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Straight Shot
Zebei shoots three individual arrows at the target. These arrows do moderate damage. This attack very rarely hits multiple targets.








Down Attack: Cluster Shot
Zebei shoots three clustered arrows at the target. These arrows do slightly less damage than the neutral attack. However, there's a high chance that the attack will hit targets that are clustered together.

Picture 2 shows two targets being hit at once.

Up Attack: Spread Shot
Zebei shoots six arrows downward at the target. These arrows do slightly more damage than the neutral attack. The main feature of this attack is how the arrows spread across the enemy's side of the field. If an arrow collides with a foe's hitbox, it will do damage well duh, that's how games work. It can potentially lead to some arrows not hitting anything due to the spread.
Do note that an arrow can only hit one target. Once it collides with something (terrain or foe), it will not deal damage anymore.

Picture 1 shows how arrows can miss the targets due to the spread (the bat higher up can also evade the shot).
Picture 2 shows the shot angle of the attack.



Special Attack (1 Bar): Arrow Hail
Zebei shoots three barrages of his down attack at the target. The arrow cluster contains 5 arrows, for a total of 15 arrows shot.








Special Attack (2 Bars): Arrow Blizzard
Zebei shoots four barrages of his down attack at the target. The arrow cluster contains 5 arrows, for a total of 20 arrows shot.








Special Attack (3 Bars): Arrow Avalanche
Zebei shoots seven barrages of his down attack at the target. The arrow cluster contains 5 arrows, for a total of 35 arrows shot.








Basic Gameplay
The main use I find for Zebei is to deal with airborne targets. All of Zebei's attacks will hit airborne targets without fail, allowing you to set up combos with ground based party members who can't reach those targets. Use the neutral attack to down lone targets, and the down or up attack to down multiple targets.

Zebei's minor drawback is the simplicity of his kit. There's not much potential to branch out and set up fancy combos that I've found yet. I find that it's more efficient to only bring him out when I know I have to deal with airborne foes, as there are better options for facing only ground foes.


Combos
These combos focus on damage to airborne targets.

Icicle Shower
  1. Down Attack
  2. Up Attack
  3. Up Attack
  4. (Attack with melee party members)




This combo is mainly here to help set up attacks for your other party members. Use down attack to knock down the airborne target(s), then follow up with up attacks to pelt everything on the ground. You can then use other party members to combo off of the downed target(s).

Tungar runs up and performs a single slash at the target. This attack does not have a follow up attack.









Down Attack: 1,001 Slashes
Tungar runs up to the target and slashes around the entire area multiple times. This will hit all foes in the area, including airborne foes.
One thing to note is that the meter build for this attack is low. Use this attack when you want to spread damage around.





Up Attack: Roundabout Slash
Tungar runs up and slashes a target twice. The first slash swings long and low, and does moderate damage. With the second slash, Tungar whips his blade back at an upwards angle and knocks the target(s) upwards and towards the party. This attack happens about 0.3 seconds after the first slash. This attack can connect with targets that are halfway off of the ground.
The important thing to remember about this attack is that it should not be spammed. Since the second slash keeps the target off of the ground, an Up attack executed directly after the first attack will not connect on the first hit. The second slash will still connect, but you will loose some damage since half of the attack didn't connect.
Use this attack when you want to drag a target close to the party. See the combos section for characters that could benefit from this.

Picture shows just how close a target can be brought to the party.





Special Attack (1 Bar): Swordsman's Spin
Tungar runs up and slashes a target for good damage. This can hit multiple targets, but they need to be horizontally aligned. That means that the easiest way to line up targets is to wait for a target to attack, then use the Special attack as it runs in front of another target. This can be hard to achieve.


Special Attack (2 Bars): Sundown Spin
The same as Special attack 1, but does ~90% more damage. The same targeting principles apply.


Special Attack (3 Bars): Sandstorm of Slashes
Tungar launches his blade out and swirls it around the entire field, dealing high damage. There are a few aspects of this attack to note:
  • The damage for this attack is not calculated until Tungar ends his attack. Hits will register, but the damage will not be delt until the very end.
  • The initial thrust of the blade does not deal damage.


Basic Gameplay
While that game only tells you about Tungar's Down attack, Tungar only has two reliable AoE attacks. All his other attacks require the targets to be carefully aligned to hit multiple targets. His basic attacks also don't have any follow up attacks, which makes him slightly weaker than other heavy damage dealers.

I honestly don't know why Tungar would be a prefered choice. I would pick Dhar or Razmi over him, as both offer better flexibility in attack choices and better damage potential.


Combos
Into the Fire
  1. Up Attack
  2. (Wait for target to hit the ground)
  3. (Repeat until target lands within the party)
  4. Follow up with one of these attacks:
    • Ginseng's Special 3
      Allows the healing effect of the attack to hit the entire party with no movement.
    • Thorani's Puddles
      Bringing the target closer to the party lets Thorani's attacks create puddles inside the party. Use this for better healing.

Avoid using Razmi's Special 3 with this, as it's more effective to use her Down attack to achieve the same effect. Thorani's Special 3 could also be used, but I believe that there are better uses for that many special meters.

Move Usage

Unmounted
Neutral Attack: Protector's Punch
Kushi runs up and punches the target. This attack can be followed up with additional Neutral attacks to extend the horizontal range of the attack.







Down Attack: Dotterel Dive
Kushi sends forth Altun, who then dive bombs the area around the target. The horizontal range of this target is entirely dependent on where Kushi is standing. If you use this attack after using a Neutral attack, there is a chance you could miss targets directly behind you see picture 2).
The optimal usage of this attack is to target the foe in the front of the field while standing with the party. This ensures that you will receive the most damage from the attack.
This attack can be followed up with additional Down attacks to have Altun dive bomb the target again. Note that Altun will aim for the current position of the target.
It also looks great when you align Altun juuuust right








Up Attack: Mount
Kushi jumps up and grabs onto Altun's talons. This has two effects:
  • Changes attack mode
    You're attacks are replaced with different attacks while flying.
  • Disables Blocking
    When riding Altun, Kushi is unable to block. This can be dangerous if Kushi is at low health, or if you are fighting a foe with high damage attacks. Being hit while flying will dismount you from Altun.


Mounted
Neutral Attack: Harrier Howl
Altun flies up to the target and screeches, hitting everything in a large range both horizontally and vertically. This attack should be prioritized if there are a large amount of foes on the field.






Down Attack: Unmount
Kushi drops back down to the ground. This has two effects:
  • Changes attack mode
    You're attacks are replaced with different attacks while on the ground.
  • Enables Blocking
    You are able to block again once on the ground. You can even have Altun sent out and you will still be able to block.
Up Attack: Soaring Smash
Altun soars high into the sky, removing Kushi from the field. After ~7 seconds Altun will smash into the target, dealing good damage to all targets in a large area.
The special aspect to this attack is how it can be powered up depending on the amount of attacks remaining when Up attack is executed.

Basic Gameplay
So the first thing you'll notice about Kushi is that she lacks Special attacks. I believe this is simply due to the fact that she already has a second set of attacks, and also because her Mounted Up attack is like a mini-special attack. This only hinders her slightly, as most of her moves already have a good damage output.

Another drawback is that she can not block while flying. Flying lets you perform two of your most damaging attacks, so you will be flying quite often. Being attacked while flying will also dismount you, which will waste an attack to remount Altun. You can avoid being knocked off if the foe's attack does not extend high up enough to hit Kushi (credit: glovetheglove). This is also why you should keep Kushi on the side of the party, as long horizontal attacks down the middle of the party will hit both the front and back (credit: princess).

You should bring Kushi into battle for when you will be dealing with multiple foes. Out of her 3 AoE attacks, two of them have a large horizontal and vertical range that can deal high damage.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Water Blast
Thorani shoots a single water projectile at the target. The puddles will form around your target and directly behind Thorani. Usually, one attack will create one puddle at the target and one behind you. I recommend using this move when you want to have an even spread of puddles around the field. This can hit airborne targets if there is enough distance between Thorani and the target.

Picture shows puddle distribution after three neutral attacks.


Down Attack: Water Wave
Thorani runs up to the target and hits it with a wave of water. The vast majority of puddles will form around the target, with a few forming between the target and Thorani's position in the party. Use this move when you want to surround the opponent's side of the field with puddles.

Picture shows puddle distribution after five down attacks.


Up Attack: Sparkling Water
Thorani activates all puddles on the field, causing them to have two effects:
  1. Heal Allies
    Any ally that touches a puddle (or is already touching a puddle) will instantly be healed for a decent amount of health. Most of the puddles that you'll be using for healing will be near the party. However, you can activate Thorani's up attack while another character is attacking a foe surrounded by puddles to heal that character while dealing damage to the foe.
  2. Harm Foes
    Any foe that touched a puddle will take a moderate amount of damage. While the primary focus of this attack is to heal allies, this is also a good way to deal out some aoe damage across the entire field.
Something to note is that the meter build for this attack is high. You can even use this move when there's no puddles on the field and still receive the meter build.
Pictures show both functions of the up attack.


Special Attack (1 Bar): Drizzle
Thorani shakes her hair and surrounds the area around her with puddles. This move is best used when you need to dish out a lot of healing. The best position to use this attack from is the front, as it covers the area where almost all movement will be happening (from both allies and foes). Using it in another position could create puddles that would never be touched.



Special Attack (2 Bars): Melt Away
Thorani melts away into a puddle of water, removing her from the field. She can not be targeted or damaged, and reappears about 5-7 seconds after the attack is used. The puddle automatically activates, letting you position a healing/damage puddle anywhere. The puddle re-activates it's healing/damage every half-second.





Special Attack (3 Bars): Rain Shower
Thorani summons a rain cloud for ~10 seconds that acts as a mobile active puddle. This means that any ally that moves past her (or is next to her) will be healed, and any foe that runs past her (or attacks her) will suffer damage. The damage and healing is reapplied once every second.
Use this move as a better alternative to her 1 bar special, as it can output more healing than regular puddles can.
The range of this attack can also be powered up by executing Neutral or Down attacks while the cloud is active. The % of healing done will not be effected.
Thorani (cont.)
Basic Gameplay
Thorani excels at healing characters that are constantly attacking/moving. Therefore, she's best for players that like to attack with characters continuously instead of attacking with every character all at once.

For a focus on healing:
  • Have Thorani attack first.
  • Use her neutral attack, as the puddles land inside your party as well as in front of any foe you attacked.
  • Remember to save your last attack to activate your puddles, so you can heal any ally about to attack.
  • Use Special attack 1 for a quick burst of healing around the party.
  • Use Special attack 3 for massive amounts of healing.

For a focus on damage:
  • Use her down attack, as the puddles land mainly around the foe(s) you attack.
  • Use special attack 1 to create a damage zone around the party.

Thorani's main drawback is that she is an indirect healer. You have to plan on where your puddles will land and where your characters are moving in order to heal them.
Also note that because Thorani lacks a up attack, she can not break guarded targets.


Combos
These combos focus less of damage and more on healing.

Raging Stream
  1. Down Attack
  2. Neutral Attack
  3. (Attack with melee party members)
  4. (While party members are attacking) Up Attack




This will heal all the characters that are attacking the target, while also dealing a small amount of damage. I recommend using this as your main form of attack, as it gives your party a constant source of healing.
Alternatively, you can replace your third attack with a neutral attack if you don't need to heal your party at the moment.

Pure Waters
  1. Down Attack
  2. Special attack 2
  3. (Attack with melee party members)
By activating special attack 2 after using down attack, you can leave a large permanent puddle that can be used by other characters while they attack for easy healing. This also damages foes touching it.


Showers of Life
  1. Special Attack 3
  2. (Have every party member attack with their close range attack) + Down Attack
  3. (Space out the attacks so every party member remains close to the target for as long as possible)
  4. (Use as many attacks as possible)
Use this when you need to heal every party member at once with no failure or puddle movement. By timing your attacks right, you can have your whole party run past Thorani first for 1 heal, then have her join the rest of the party at the target to constantly be healing them. Space out your attacks so you can hold your characters next to Thorani as long as possible. Since Thorani will be down one attack from activating the special attack, she will run back first. Use this to then heal your party as they run back into their positions.
This combo is slightly spotty, as the healing is only triggered once per second. This is more of a guaranteed way to heal the whole party or just use Ginseng.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Shield Smash
Qadira runs at the target and smashes into it. Since the hitbox for this attack is active untill the frame that she leans into her shield, you can usualy hit the enemy behind your target if you wait long enough.
The follow up for this attack will have Qadira extend her shield out a bit farther as she bashes the target. This must be executed before she returns to her default animation.
Both of these attacks will push the target back. Useful for trying to position targets.
I personally use this attack when I want to focus on damage.


Down Attack: Sliding Uppercut
Qadira slides along the ground into the target. This slide will actually send her behind the target.
The follow up for this attack will have Qadira perform an uppercut on the target, launching it into the air. This must be executed before she fully stands up.
Since the slide will send Qadira behind the target, the attack is very useful for pushing a target closer to the party. Follow up with a few normal attacks to knock it closer.


Up Attack: Skyward Smash
Qadira runs up to the target and bashes it into the air. She'll jump up with the target.
The follow up for this attack will have Qadira slam the target back into the ground. This must be executed before she lands on the ground.
I personally use this attack when I want to generate iddhi, as airborne targets generate more iddhi.


Special Attack (1 Bar): Saharan Smash
Qadira rushes at the target and repeatedly slams into it. This will push the target quite far. This version hits 6 times.
All of Qadira's supers excel at pushing the target either closer or away from the party.


Special Attack (2 Bars): Unrelenting Force
Qadira rushes at the target and repeatedly slams into it. This will push the target quite far. This version hits 9 times.

Special Attack (3 Bars): Shieldmaiden's Charge
Qadira rushes at the target and repeatedly slams into it. This will push the target quite far. This version hits 15 times.


Basic Gameplay
Qadira is one of the best iddhi generating characters in the game, when you string together her Up attacks. She also deals a solid amount of damage, and her speed is very manageable despite being a 1 speed character.
She's a solid choice to have in your party.


Combos
For iddhi generation, use a string of Up attacks. The bonus generated from hitting airborne targets is one of the highest in the game.
For damage, use a string of Neutral attacks. Her Neutral attacks have the highest damage of all her non-special attacks.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Giant's Javelin
Phoebe shoots her javelin at the target, hitting all targets in a straight line. This attack goes across the entire field. The damage from this attack is pretty high.
Something to note is that the javelin can actually hit the same target twice. When Phoebe plants her bow in the ground and strings the javelin, it activates a hitbox around the entire animation. If Phoebe is close enough to the target, she will deal a second hit in a medium sized area (see picture 2). (Credit: DaMonth).


Down Attack: Suplex
Phoebe jumps into the air and grabs the first target that she touches. She then slams them down for high damage. If anyone has played Skullgirls, this attack is very similar to Beowulf's Airwulf grab. The hitbox of the attack (picture 2) is very generous.
Something very important to note is that if the grabbed target is attacked before Phoebe can land and deal the damage, the attack will deal zero damage.
To use the attack, you need to launch the target airborne first. Here's a list of possible moves, with a rating of how hard it is to pull off. I calculated these with the smallest possible targets, since those are the hardest to grab.
Attack
Difficulty
Notes
Phoebe Up Attack
Very Easy
Just execute the Suplex after an Up attack.
Anja First Up Attack (Axe)
Easy
Execute the Suplex half a second after inputting Anja's attack.
leilani Up Attack
Easy
Execute the Suplex after executing the Up attack. There's a large window of time to do so.
Yan Up Attack
Easy
Execute the Suplex once Yan reaches the target.
Yan Down Attack
Easy
Execute the Suplex once Yan reaches the target.
Anja Special Attack 3
Easy
Execute the Suplex as soon as you can input attacks after the animation. The window to grab targets is until the last hit of the beam.
Razmi Up Attack
Easy
Execute the Suplex directly after inputting Razmi's attack. You can add additional Razmi Up attacks to hold the target in the air and extend the window to grab.
Zebei Down Attack
Easy
Targets launched by this attack fly up fairly high, giving you ample time to grab them.
Tungar Up Attack
Easy
Targets launched by this attack fly up and back in a wide arc, giving you ample time to grab them.
Qadira Up Attack
Easy
Qadira's Up attack launch the target up very high. You should have no trouble grabbing it. Just be carefull to not use the Follow up attack, as it spikes the target down.
Ginseng Special Attack 3
Medium
Execute the Suplex when the mortar is about to explode.
Kushi Mounted Neutral Attack (x2)
Medium
After using two Mounted Neutral attacks, the target will be high enough to be grabbed. You can use a third Neutral attack to hold the target in position for longer.
Qadira Down Attack (Follow up)
Medium
Use the Follow up of Qadira's Down attack to launch the target up. Input the suplex at the same time you input the Follow up to grab the target.
Nuna Up Attack
Medium
One of the rare instances where you need to execute the suplex slightly before the Up attack.
Razmi Special Attack 2
Hard
Execute the Suplex when the pillar of fire is directly over Phoebe.
Nuna Neutral Attack (x3)
Hard
You must time Nuna's Neutral attacks so that you execute the next attack just as the target is sent upward (the exact frame when the vines begin to go away). This slowly sends them higher, with the third being in suplex range.
Tungar Down Attack
Hard
The window to grab a target is exactly after the last hit registers. Execute the suplex right before the final damage text appears.
Tungar Special Attack 3
Hard
Execute the Suplex right as Tungar wraps up his turban.
Kushi Unmounted Down Attack
Hard
The window to grab a target is very small. For best results, input the suplex 0.2 seconds after the attack.
Thorani Down Attack
Hard
The window to grab a target is very, very small. You need to get a feel for the attack to know when to suplex, as there's not a very good indication as to when to input it.
Kushi Mounted Up Attack
Hard - Impossible
This attack is near impossible with smaller targets, as their hitboxes are too small to give consistent results. Use it on larger targets to get grabs. Input the suplex as soon as Altun smashes into the ground.
Will add more characters as they are unlocked.

Up Attack: Amazonian Flip
Phoebe plants her javelin in the ground and flings is up, knocking any targets hit into the air. Something to note is that this attack shouldn't be spammed. Using it too many times in a row will knock the target higher than the range of the attack (see picture 2).
This attack is mainly used to set up Phoebe's Down attack for an easy combo.


Basic Gameplay
Just like Kushi, Phoebe has no Special attacks. Unlike Kushi however, she only has three other attacks, one of which is a Follow up only attack (Down attack).
To somewhat offset this, Phoebe has some of the highest damaging non-special attacks in the game. Her minimum damage starts in the thousands. Use her to deal a steady stream of damage.
She also has the worst iddhi generation in the game. None of her attacks even receive the normal 3 base iddhi.


Combos
Smackdown
  1. Up Attack
  2. Down Attack
  3. (Attack level dependent action)
Essentially one of the easiest ways to use her Down attack by herself. Follow up with either a Neutral attack or another Smackdown depending on your attack level.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Quick Draw
Pressing the attack button will have Latigo shoot his revolver once at the target. You can follow up with 4 extra shots by repeatedly pressing the attack button, for a total of 5 shots. All of these shots count as a single attack charge.
Keep in mind that this attack will do nothing if Latigo's revolver is out of bullets.
Unlike all his revolver attacks, the bullets shot during this attack will not hit multiple targets. (See picture 2)
This attack generates a different amount of iddhi if you try to fire the revolver while it has no ammo. It will generate 50% less iddhi.

Down Attack: Reload
Latigo opens the chamber and loads in new bullets. This is required in order to use his Meutralattack and to get bonus damage on his Up attack.
If Latigo has AP bullets loaded into his gun when you reload, the AP bullets will be saved and loaded back into the chamber (see picture 2).
Some attacks automatically reload the revolver:
Attack
Reload Before/After
Special 1
Reloads before attacking.
Special 3
Reloads before & after attacking.


Up Attack: Shooting Star
This attack has two main parts:
  • Leap
    Latigo jumps into the air and slashes at the target with his gunblade bladed revolver. The vertical range of this attack is very large, and the horizontal range is medium sized. That being said, the vertical damage is locked to the horizontal width of the attack.
  • Blast
    Latigo fires three shots downward with a semi-tight spread. For small & medium sized targets, two of the shots will collide with the target while the third will land behind the target. Large targets will be hit by all three shots.
By pressing either Neutral attack or Up attack, you can follow up with additional Up attacks. This attack will also work if your revolver is out of bullets, but will just lack the blast part of the attack.

Special Attack (1 Bar): Gentleman's Cleave
Latigo runs up and slashes at the target in a large horizontal range. He then aims his revolver at the target. At this point, you can press attack up to five times to shoot the revolver.
Unlike his Neutral attack, the bullets shot by this attack can hit multiple targets that are very close together. The hitboxes of the targets must be touching each other for it to work. See the combos section for a list of attacks that move targets close enough together.


Special Attack (2 Bars): AP Rounds
Latigo unloads his revolver and loads in special bullets. These bullets have three special properties:
  • Multi-hit
    Each bullet shot at at a target hits between 2-9 times. There are three main deciding factor in how many hits will trigger:
    • Distance - The farther away from the target, the more hits.
    • Target size - The bigger the target, the more hits.
    • Random - See pictures 1 & 2. Notice how two similar targets at the same distance have a two hit discrepancy. The calculations for this attack are randomly varied for some reason.
    To compensate for the multi-hit, each bullet does only 66% of the damage of a regular bullet. However, each bullet will hit a minimum of two times, netting you a damage increase of 33.5% for every hit after the first one.
  • Penetration
    The bullets will travel through the target and continue onwards. Aim for horizontally aligned targets.
  • Shield Break
    Any shielded targets' guard will be broken by these bullets. This is the only way for Latigo to break shields, as he lacks a damaging Down attack.
Basically, this supercharges your bullets to do crazy amounts of AoE damage. One thing to note is that AP bullets build the same amount of iddhi as regular bullets.
Latigo (cont.)
Special Attack (3 Bars): Showdown
After an intense staredown, Latigo unloads his revolver at the target. By default the attack will hit 5 times. However, by mashing the attack button you can add an additional 5 hits. The maximum is 5, no matter how fast you mash.
Just like Special attack 1, the bullets shot by this attack can hit multiple targets that are very close together. The hitboxes of the targets must be touching each other for it to work, and the targets must be the same size. See the combos section for a list of attacks that move targets close enough together.
A special note: If at least one AP bullet is loaded in the revolver when you execute this attack, ALL10 bullets become AP bullets. This does a stupidly high amount of damage, second to Razmi's Special attack 3 in crowds. Granted you are spending 5 special meters to do this, and it only works best against bigger targets.


Basic Gameplay
Latigo is an interesting character with his bullet system. Given the fact that he has to attack and reload makes him the definition of a burst damage character. Keep in mind that if you want to skip reloading on an attack, both Special attack 1 & 3 give you a free reload. Your main focus will Latigo should be his Special 2 attack, as it enables him to output much more damage than normal.

Latigo's main drawback is the fact that you will be spending most of your attack actions reloading. You damage is severely gimped if you fail to reload on time.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Bramble
Nuna runs up and summons thorns from the ground, dealing damage in a medium sized area around her. This attack is great for damaging multiple targets at once.






Down Attack: Plant Trap
Nuna runs up and plants a sapling in front of the target. This attack has three special properties:
  • Power Up (Photo 1)
    Using Up attack any time after planting a sapling will power it up, up to a maximum of two times. The first power up deals extra damage. The second power up summons a maiz stalk that hits the target again (See photo 2).
  • Attack Canceling
    Probably the only most useful part of Nuna. Any enemy that runs into a sapling while attacking will have it's attack canceled. This prevents your party members from taking damage, since the attack doesn't happen.
    Do note that there are some attacks that can completely ignore this, or that projectile attacks and flying attacks can avoid touching the sapling.
  • Plant Anywhere
    By pressing Down attack after attacking, you can plant the sapling at any point. Use this if you want to block attacks to a certain character rather than blocking attacks from a certain enemy.

Up Attack: Bountiful Harvest
Nuna summons a stalk of maiz from the ground on the target, sending them flying upwards. Successive Up attacks will launch the target higher (see photo 2). Great for hitting airborne targets and setting up aerial combos.
However, this attack has a hidden function. By using an Up attack while you have a sapling planted, the sapling's power will be increased. Use Up attacks after using Down attacks to get the most out of your saplings.


Special Attack (1 Bar): Dandelion Dusting
Nuna blows a dandelion at the target, showering the area with explosive seed pods. The pods cover a large area.







Special Attack (2 Bars): Pedal Eruption
Nuna blows a dandelion at the target, showering the area with explosive seed pods. The pods cover a large area.
This version shoots more pods.






Special Attack (3 Bars): Field of Flowers
Nuna blows a dandelion at the target, showering the area with explosive seed pods. The pods cover a large area.
This version shoots even more pods.

Passive: Resurrection
If knocked out, Nuna will eventually revive herself. This saves you three meter charges.

Basic Gameplay
Nuna's damage output is low, she can't heal, and her special isn't much to write home about. Her main use is blocking damage with her Down attack. This is sort of a pseudo heal move, as you're preventing damage instead of undoing it.

So in trying to debate whether or not Nuna is worth using, here's the thought process I had:
  • Do you give this slot to a support character or a damage character?
    • One extra damage character will make fights end faster, at the risk of taking more damage.
    • One extra support character will make fights longer, but you are less likely to die.
    Assuming that you choose the support character, here's your options:
    • Ginseng: Main healer.
    • Thorani: Soft healing.
    • Nuna: Blocks some damage.
    • Zahra: Buffs outgoing damage, reduces incoming damage, speeds up characters.

Blocking with Zarha
As stated in Zahra's character info, blocking with Zahra will effect her active buffs. Here's the three possible effects:
  • Clean Block
    Executing a clean block will not stop any active buffs. For attacks that hit multiple times, you will only be required to clean block the first attack.
  • Normal Block
    Blocking normally will cause the last activated buff of each type to stop. For attacks that hit multiple times, you will only be required to block the first attack. Successive hits will not remove buffs.
  • Failed Block
    Failing to block will cause all active buffs to stop.

Special Attack (3 Bars): Grove
Zahra plays a song on her oud that causes all enemies on the field to stop and dance. They will not attempt to attack, and any enemies with their guard up will lower it.
The song lasts for 9 active seconds, meaning that the timer will pause any time a party member is attacking. Basically, it's tracked in the same way that enemy attack timers are tracked.
This attack is pretty powerful, which is why it's locked behind 3 meter charges.

Basic Gameplay
Zahra is the definition of a support character. She has no possible attacks, and can only buff/debuff targets. She's great for parties that want to purely focus on damage instead of healing. Take Razmi in your party if you intend to use Zahra, as she can make up for the lack of healing.
Use the charts above that show what song effects what position first in order to maximize Zahra's use.

Previously, Zahra's Neutral attack was a heal over time buff. But obviously having a character with 50% stat buffs and a heal was a bit too much.

The main drawbacks of Zahra are obvious. She can't attack, she can't generate iddhi, and her only special costs 3 meters. But quite honestly, 3 damage buffed party members will quickly solve the issue of the lack of damage.

Neutral Attack: Spin Kick
Yan runs up to the target and performs a spin kick. The attack has a large range. Using this attack after an Up or Down attack can keep targets in the air for more damage and iddhi generation.
One thing to note is that repeated use of this attack will end up knocking most targets out of range of her follow up attacks. I would recommend using this attack last when comboing with Yan. See the chart below for range.

Down Attack: Axe Kick
Yan runs at the target and performs an axe kick. This attack will knock any target hit up into the air, allowing you to easily follow up with another attack.


Up Attack: Flash Kick
Yan runs up to the target and performs a flash kick, which knocks all targets hit into the air. This attack is great for setting up aerial combos, as Yan can attack again almost immediately after the first attack.


Passive: Aerial Attacks
See, I think we're all misinterpreting her character info page. It states:
Originally posted by Aerial Attacks:
Yan can combo her opponent in mid-air, keeping them aloft for even greater damage.
Now, notice how at no point it says that her attacks do more damage in the air. It simply states that Yan can combo targets in mid-air. The "greater damage" part is simply because you're able to still do damage while the target is in air, which most non-ranged characters can't do.


Now, most of you probably notice that Yan's air combos do progressively deal more damage. However, being in the air has noting to do with this. It's actually because the longer any combo goes on, the more damage any attack will do. In the photo, see how even a basic Anja Up combo results in increased damage.


Basic Gameplay
Yan shines most when starting combos. Since her speed is high, she'll often have all of her charges ready and waiting when another character is ready to attack. By having Yan attack first, she can prime the combo string. That way when the next character attacks, they deal even more damage than what they would have. This does not work with all characters, either because the time between attacks is too long or because they have a special combo passive that is independent of how the regular combo system works (Hunoch).

Combos
Personally I would stick to using a string of Down attacks, then following up with a combo string from another character. As stated above, this lets the next character do more damage. Plus, a down attack still gets the airborne iddhi bonus and can hit targets on the same horizontal line.

Neutral Attack: Pok
The active brother summons the other and launches them at the target. You must then time your next attack to bounce the ball back in order to continue the combo. Continuing the combo increases the damage dealt and iddhi generated with each hit.
Do note that even though the active bother has a hurt hitbox around them when they bounce the ball back (picture 2), if the target is that close when you hit the ball back it just registers the ball hit. No extra damage is achieved.

Basic Gameplay
Hunoch & Xiboch are a bit odd. By that, I mean I can't figure a good use for them.

Pre attack level 5
In terms of damage, one combo does less damage than a combo from either Anja and Qadira, who have less damage and higher speed to boot. Iddhi generation is pitifully low compared to all other damage characters (other than Phoebe). And characters with higher speed like Yan could definitely output more damage and iddhi. They don't even work that well has tanks, given that the characters with higher health also have higher damage and iddhi output.

Attack level 5
A full level 5 ball combo with Hunoch ball actually does a solid amount of damage, around 1k-2k more than the characters mentioned above. But his iddhi generation is still the lowest in the game. Not to mention that the points about speed and health still apply.

The one upside this character has is that you can switch damage types, for the occasional fight where you have to fight magic resistant enemies.

Either I'm missing something here, or Hunoch & Xiboch is a low-tier pick.


Combos
Comboing with this character can be quite hard, as you need to be paying attention for when to bounce the ball back. On top of that, having the target bounce around by attacks from other characters would make this even harder to time.

Move Usage
Neutral Attack: Bork
Lanshi will run up to the target and begin to bark. Lanshi will continue to bark until all of his attack charges are used up. However, you can use Special attacks while barking.

Mashing or holding the attack button does nothing. This attack has a random deviation of 2-3 barks.




Down Attack: Pet
Lanshi falls asleep for 13 seconds. You can then spend an attack to pet Lanshi, which generates a small amount of iddhi. The most pets you can get in are 9 (by mashing the attack button), which generates at maximum 83 iddhi.

Since Lanshi deals the most damage with his charged Up attack, this is an easy way to help build enough iddhi to use his first Special attack. You can prematurely end Lanshi's nap by executing any super, so once you get a bar of iddhi you can immediately charge an opponent.


Up Attack (charged): Thunderous Howl


Special Attack (1 Bar): Call Lightning

Special Attack (2 Bars): Static Discharge


Special Attack (3 Bars): Call of the Wild

Basic Gameplay
Lanshi is one of a few characters that really needs iddhi to excel. While his Neutral attack is okay, it's his charged Up attack that's the real money maker. Thankfully it only takes one bar of iddhi to use it, so it's quite easy to set up. Also, all but one of Lanshi's attacks have extreme range. This makes him great for dealing with crowds, or opponents with multiple hitboxes.

Lanshi can also have the highest single-target iddhi generation in the game. The only problem with this is that the iddhi generated by his Down attack is random. It can generate anywhere from 56 to 83 with 9 pets. That's a pretty big discrepancy.

You have to keep his two main drawbacks however. His slow speed, and his iddhi usage. With his slow speed, it can take a bit for Lanshi to start churning out damage. As for the iddhi usage, this can be kept in check as long as you either have a party that is strong at iddhi generation, or a party where Lanshi can have iddhi priority over the other party members.

Neutral Attack: Naga Sting
Naga Rider will dash at the target and perform a series of heroic martial punches. This attack has it's own combo string, where a full string of Neutral attacks will end with massive damage. If you plan on using his Neutral attack, the only way to get the most from it is to use the full combo string.

So about that iddhi generation. It's...weird.

Down Attack: Flying Kick of Justice
Naga Rider will soar into the air and lock onto the evil ideals of the target, launching his heels of justice into their heart of evil. As stated above, the attack will lock onto the target. Therefore, any airborne target can be hit.
Since the range of Naga's Up attack is limited, I suggest using this attack first to get in range of any airborne targets before using Up attack. Also, any Neutral attacks input after an Down attack will become Down attacks. Don't button mash.


Up Attack: Heroic Flip
Naga Rider swoops in and launches the target into the heavens with a mighty upwards kick. The most important thing to note about this attack is it's range. Regardless of how high the target currently is, Naga Rider will always execute the first Up attack from the ground. This means that if a target is airborne (or knocked up high by another character), the first few Up attacks will most likely miss (see picture 2).
If the target is in the air, I highly recommend that you use a Down attack first to close the range between you and the target. Then Input as many Up attacks as your heart desires.
Also, any Neutral attacks input after an Up attack will become Up attacks. Don't button mash.


Special Attack (1 Bar): Super-Heroic-Force-Punch
This attack is a super powerful version of Naga's final Neutral attack combo attack. What sets it apart is the fact that this version hits everything that the hitbox collides with on any axis.







Special Attack (2 Bars): Super-Mega-Flip of Justice
This attack is a more powerful version of Naga's Up attack. The same principles still apply. It's probably best to lead with this special, just so you don't miss and blow two bars of iddhi.


Special Attack (3 Bars): Super-Ultra-Naga-Dive
This attack is a more powerful version of Naga's Down attack. The same principles still apply.
This version does insane damage, and is the attack you should prefer to save your iddhi for. Add it to the end of a string of attacks to end off your combos.


Passive: Aerial Attacks
This is a copy of the text from Yan, since their passives are the exact same.
See, I think we're all misinterpreting her character info page. It states:
Originally posted by Aerial Attacks:
Naga Rider can combo her opponent in mid-air, keeping them aloft for even greater damage.
Now, notice how at no point it says that her attacks do more damage in the air. It simply states that Naga Rider can combo targets in mid-air. The "greater damage" part is simply because you're able to still do damage while the target is in air, which most non-ranged characters can't do.





Basic Gameplay
Naga Rider plays very similar to Yan. They share the same Up, Neutral, and Passive attacks. In fact, my general analysis is that he's just a watered down Yan with Specials. Any string of non-special attacks will typically deal less damage than a string of non-specials from Yan. His iddhi generation is also lower than all of Yan's attacks to boot.
What sets Naga Rider apart from Yan is that he has Special attacks. His Special attacks on average end up dealing more damage than a string of non-specials by Yan. Therefore, the way to get the most out of Naga Rider is to constantly be using Special moves. If you don't use Specials on Naga Rider, it's more efficient to just use Yan to achieve the same effect.
Side note: if you suck at blocking, use Naga Rider. His health is much higher than Yan.

tl;dr
    Yan
  • Faster
  • More non-special damage
  • Higher iddhi generation

    Naga Rider
  • Higher health
  • Specials give higher damage
If you have a party member already relying on Special attacks for damage, consider a different character.
Something to also note is that executing a super while in air will have Naga immediately land on the ground. Keep in mind where your targets are, as executing Special attack 1 while the target is still airborne will cause the attack to miss.

TPman 2 May, 2021 @ 11:44pm 
Holy wow, there is a lot that the game doesn't explain to you. I managed to recruit Nuna before reading this and realizing that characters have more than 1 level of special.
Fringehunter7719 27 Oct, 2019 @ 1:27pm 
Naga rider's bonus damage hit occurs whenever he empties his action point bar while spending his final three action points on neutral attacks. This means in theory you can launch his combo when three action points have refilled rather than five to improve his damage efficiency.

You can also use any two up or down attacks and then three neutral attacks, although this lowers his overall DPS.

Sadly his best combo, which is just three action points spent on neutral attacks does barely more than half the damage of Yan's five point neutral attack combo and despite using only 3 actions is still slower to recharge.

His Iddhi moves do less damage than those of several other characters, like Baozhai, Razmi, Kampan or critically Ajna (with 5 or 7 Iddhi) who is always in the party. Even if he's in your party you're still better spending your limited Iddhi with a different character. When he's not spending Iddhi his damage is truly pitiful, only about 35% to 40% of Kampan's.
Fringehunter7719 21 Oct, 2019 @ 4:00am 
Kampan has the best single target DPS.

For single target the on paper highest DPS party (because it requires more real time and more skill to use) in any fight that lasts more than a couple of rounds is Kampan+Zahra with either Latigo (if you've done his personal quest), Yan (if you haven't done Latigo's personal quest) or a healer (if you want a healer), where Ginseng is the obvious choice for quality of life and healing power.

For AOE DPS the highest is Ren+Zahra with Leilani or a healer.

None of this really matters though, as by the time you can even get Kampan or Ren you can basically 1 turn everything with AOE. For ease of use you can look to something like Ren+Tungar/Lanshi+Leilani.

For various reasons I haven't fully tested Dhar, so he may sneak in somewhere.

It's also difficult to quantify the exact effects of the combo bonus that puts Leilani well ahead of Lanshi when you actually test a full party, but Lanshi ahead of Leilani when you test characters 1 at a time.
Zorlock Darksoul 20 Oct, 2019 @ 8:12pm 
I recognize this is a WIP, and not all characters are covered yet, but I'm very curious to see where Kampan falls on the damage spectrum. Her special has become one of my favorite boss-crushing moves.
Jakapoa  [author] 20 Oct, 2019 @ 6:53am 
Interesting. I should probably start the DPS charts then.
Fringehunter7719 20 Oct, 2019 @ 6:39am 
If you ignore Iddhi generation and AOE, then at 5AP and executed flawlessly Hunoch does more damage per second than Lanshi, Kushi, Baozhai, Naga Rider (even using his optimal 3AP combos, which is an utter pain), Qadira, Tungar, Ginseng and Razmi. Nuna's best DPS is tricky to pull off and Thorani's is pretty much theoretical as using all her puddles reliably for damage rarely happens, so you can rate him as better single target than them as well.

If you factor in Iddhi and AOE then he's better DPS than Kushi, maybe Ginseng, maybe Thorani, maybe Razmi (her best use is just to D-attack and Iddhi-3 in combo with virtually no other attacks) and about the same as Naga rider. Three of those are the healers, the other two are the worst two DPS characters.

I guess that makes him around about 19 out of 21 for DPS in overall terms.

Yep. Just went back with 5AP, and Hunoch finally does slightly more damage. However, his iddhi generation is still the lowest in the game, and I'm almost positive that a DPS check will show that his DPS is lower than other characters with higher speed.

Depends how you compare the damage. Kampan has the best single target damage per second, if you look at a 4AP combo with her (since she has to use even numbers of attacks) at end game she does about 123110 damage for 4 AP, Hunoch's full damage combo does about 188007 for 5AP. However Kampan can then recharge and do the same combo a further two complete times before Hunoch is ready to attack again, making Kampan's damage output almost exactly double Hunoch's.

Hunoch's attacks also generate virtually zero Iddhi, which also costs a lot of damage over time.

Even Ajna's DAAAA combo (where Ajna is only middlish of the pile for DPS) does 20% more DPS than Hunoch, even assuming you never fluff any of Hunoch's attacks. It again generates much, much more Iddhi.

Given how easy guard breaking is (one character uses D attack while another uses U attack, and Ajna should *always* be starting with a D attack anyway) Hunoch ends up being bad even when played to the max of his ability.
