Ashlay, an old friend of Ryas Warren, is traveling the world in search of someone worthy to inherit his sword skills. Naturally, he sees great potential in Ratix and decides to mentor him. In battle, Ashlay is a reliable companion. While he lacks the variety of techniques available to the other two swordsmen, his attacks have impressive range and are notably faster than Cius’s. However, his overall strength is slightly lower in comparison. Ashlay always begins with the same set of Talents, making him particularly effective in Familiar, Customize, Authoring, Scout, and Smithing abilities. Obtaining Ashlay To recruit Ashlay, Cius must not be in your party. Speak with Ashlay in the northern section of the arena in Tataroy, then participate in a battle. Afterward, head to the port east of town to complete the recruitment process. |
Techniques: Short Range
|
Rift Wave Learned: Start MP: 6 |
A quite nice technique; Ashlay jumps up and then down, slashing the enemy twice for normal damage each time. Not as deadly as Ratix's version, but very good for the start of the game. |
|
Twin Slash Learned: Start MP: 4 | A quick move for very little MP; Ashlay lets loose with a wide swath of blue energy around him. It doesn't really hit enemies above him, though, unlike the other two versions of this move. |
|
Shock Sword Learned: Level 18 MP: 7 |
A bit of a slow move. Ashlay sticks out his sword and the enemy gets hit by lightning (nearby enemies may be hit as well). It's fairly easy to be knocked out of, so it's a bit of a risk. |
Techniques: Long Range
|
Blaze Sword Learned: Level 22 MP: 10 | An excellent technique; Ashlay slams his sword into the enemies and several fireballs shoot out when he's done. Can do some nice damage if you're surrounded. |
|
Flash Whirl Learned: Level 28 MP: 12 |
A rather slow move. Ashlay goes up to the enemy, sticks out his sword, and makes a fireball explode on the end. It can do good damage (and hit several times) if you manage to pull it off. |
Secret Techs: Short Range
|
Dragon Blast Learned: Sacred Beast Secret Skill, at level 32 MP: 19 | A quick and powerful move; Ashlay goes fairly close to an enemy and lets loose with a flying dragon right in the kisser! It can eat up MP, though; he has better techniques to use. |
|
7-Star Shock Sword Learned: 7-Star Secret Skill, from Shock Sword MP: 22 |
Ashlay will shoot out a ball of lightning, then the enemy will be hit by lightning from above, accompanied by an explosion that can hit nearby enemies as well. It can do some nice damage, but not really worth the MP cost. |
|
7-Star Twin Slash Learned: 7-Star Secret Skill, from Twin Slash MP: 25 |
Basically a much-powered up version of Twin Slash that has each hit do double damage. |
Secret Techs: Long Range
|
Phoenix Wave Learned: Sacred Beast Secret Skill, at level 36 MP: 18 |
Almost exactly the same as the Dragon Blast except it's fire-elemental. |
