Ratix FarrenceAge: 19 Race: Fellpool Origin: Clatos village, Moore continent. Class: Fighter Height: 174cm Weight: 68kg |
|
Ratix is the main character whom you control throughout the whole game. He's a Fellpoolian who goes on a never-ending quest to save his girlfriend! (Drawn Together joke of Xandir (Ratix would look like him too if he had yellow hair; see)) Actually, Ratix just goes on a quest to save the world. Much like Cless from Tales of Phantasia, Ratix has an array of kick ass attacks. Since he's always in the party, he'll always have the highest level of anyone else. Ratix's only downside is that his normal techniques don't have some of the extras of the other swordsmen; he makes up for it by having awesome Secret Techs. He's awesome at Customize and Smithing, and since his levels are always higher than everybody else he ends up being good at all the rest, too (besides Alchemy). |
Techniques: Short Range
|
Rift Wave Learned: Level 2 MP: 3 |
Ratix will let loose with a circle of energy directly around him. Very good for when you're surrounded by enemies, plus it costs virtually no MP. If you level up your school skill, it won't cost any MP. |
|
Blaze Sword Learned: Level 7 MP: 6 |
He jumps up in the air and hits the enemy twice with a fiery blade. A decent technique, but once you get Twin Slash it's not worth using any more. |
|
Shock Sword Learned: Level 12 MP: 5 |
Ratix summons thunder to his sword and slices the enemy. It's rather slow and easy to avoid, and only hits once. When it does hit, though, it does nice damage for the first half or so of the game. |
|
Twin Slash Learned: Level 20 MP: 11 |
An excellent technique; basically the same as Blaze Sword but without the fire-elemental, and with more power. |
|
Dragon Howl Learned: Level 29 MP: 13 |
Ratix jumps up in the air, turns into a dragon, and shoots an energy bolt at the enemy. This one seems to miss a LOT, and doesn't do as much damage as some other techniques. |
Techniques: Long Range
|
Flash Whirl Learned: Level 10 MP: 5 |
He jumps up in the air and hits the enemy twice with a fiery blade. A decent technique, but once you get Twin Slash it's not worth using any more. |
|
Air Slash Learned: Level 16 MP: 9 |
Ratix shoots a pillar of energy towards the enemy. It only hits once, but Ratix can fire them off rapidly and can stay out of range while he does it. |
|
Spirit Blast Learned: Level 25 MP: 8 |
Ratix runs up fairly close to the enemy and lets loose with a blast of energy. Again, only hits once, but it's a bit stronger than Air Slash. |
Secret Techs: Short Range
|
7-Star Flash Whirl Learned: 7-Star Secret Skill, from Flash Whirl MP: 25 |
Basically the same as Flash Whirl, but this time it's actually useful, because the fireballs are much larger and stronger and therefore have a much higher chance of hitting things. |
|
7-Star Shock Sword Learned: 7-Star Secret Skill, from Shock Sword MP: 15 |
Basically the same as Shock Sword except stronger and with an extra lightning bolt. |
|
7-Star Twin Slash Learned: 7-Star Secret Skill, from Twin Slash MP: 27 |
Probably Ratix's best short-range technique. He does an incredibly powerful Twin Slash, then shoots another two bolts of energy which can travel straight across the screen. Instant decimation for most enemies, and those it doesn't kill it can definitely keep occupied! |
Secret Techs: Long Range
|
Phoenix Wave Learned: Sacred Beast Secret Skill, from Rift Wave MP: 14 |
Does the same thing that Rift Wave does, but it uses a fiery bird to do so; therefore it has much larger range and power, but it's fire-elemental. Not bad for regular fights later on. |
|
Dragon Blast Learned: Sacred Beast Secret Skill, from Spirit Blast MP: 12 |
A powered-up Spirit Blast which includes a large dragon. It has a wider swath and can be executed from farther away. A good long-range tech if you don't have the Dragon Summon Secret Skill. |
|
Black Dragon's Rage Learned: Dragon Summon Secret Skill, from Dragon Howl MP: 30 |
Time stops, and Ratix summons a dragon to do super-powerful Darkness damage to all enemies. He can pull these off very quickly (though they sap MP quickly too); great technique! |
|
Blue Dragon's Rage Learned: Dragon Summon Secret Skill, from Dragon Blast MP: 30 |
Same as Black Dragon's Rage but Water-elemental. |
|
Red Dragon's Rage Learned: Dragon Summon Secret Skill, from Phoenix Wave MP: 30 |
Same as Black Dragon's Rage but Fire-elemental. |
