Tinek Arukena

Age: 14-16

Race: Lycantrope

Origin: ?

Class: Fighter

Height: ?

Weight: ?

Tinek may look like an ordinary bespectacled boy, but when he enters battle, he transforms into a powerful werewolf! Outside of combat, he often seems drowsy during Private Actions.

In battle, Tinek is exceptionally quick, and his normal attack boasts one of the longest ranges among all characters. However, his overall strength is slightly lower than most other fighters, aside from Marvel. He isn’t particularly skilled at Abilities, so it’s best to focus his SP on developing battle skills. That said, he’s typically proficient at Cooking, which can come in handy.

Obtaining Tinek

To recruit Tinek, first obtain the Van Emblem. Then, have Ratix compete in the Tataroy Arena and reach at least C Rank. Tinek will replace the arena boss; if you defeat him, he’ll join your party. However, if your party is full, Tinek will leave permanently.

Note: MP costs for techniques may be less than the given MP cost. This is because you've leveled up your “School Skill”.

Techniques

Whirlwind Staff

Learned: Start

MP: 4

Range: Short/Long

A fast technique with low MP cost. Tinek will stick his staff in the ground and whirl around it, hitting the enemy twice. Good for when you get him.

Hurricane Staff

Learned: Level 22

MP: 6

Range: Short

An almost laughably fast and strong technique. Tinek will just flip his staff around and hit the enemy twice for 1.5x damage with each hit! Quite nice!

Hailstorm

Learned: Level 26

MP: 10

Range: Long

Although it looks like a Water-elemental tech, it's not. Tinek throws a spread of snowflakes in front of him; each snowflake hits for normal damage. Big enemies can get hit twice. Good if you've got a bunch of enemies to contend with.

Mirror Slice

Learned: Level 30

MP: 12

Range: Short

An okay technique. Tinek hits the enemy with one strong hit (2x normal damage). There's then a small chance that the enemy will instantly die.

Tempest Staff

Learned: Level 35

MP: 18

Range: Short/Long

Basically the same as Hurricane Staff, except at the end Tinek whirls his staff, which can hit the enemy two more times. However, the enemy frequently gets hit out of range by the first two hits, so the whirling misses often. Not a great technique.

Secret Techniques

Firewheel Staff

Learned: Pa Kwa Zhang Secret Skill, from Whirlwind Staff

MP: 10

Range: Short/Long

A powered-up Whirlwind Staff. The hits now do 1.5x damage and are Fire-elemental. A nice, fast technique, but nothing earth-shattering.

Hurricane Fist

Learned: Pa Kwa Zhang Secret Skill

MP: 14

Range: Short

Basically the same as Hurricane Staff, but at the end Tinek will throw out a fireball which hits for double damage. If you killed the enemy with one of the first two hits, the fireball will fly across the screen! Quite a good technique.

Sakura-Zhang

Learned: Pa Kwa Zhang Secret Skill, from Tempest Staff

MP: 19

Range: Long

He throws out a fireball that hits for double damage. It's not worth the high MP consumption.

7-Star Rumble

Learned: 7-Star Secret Skill, from Sakura-Zhang

MP: 24

Range: Short

Tinek leaps in the air and pummels the enemy about 4-5 times, each hit of which does normal damage. While he's in the air he can't be hurt except by spells, and he can keep the enemy quite busy while he does it. Probably his strongest short-range technique.
