Combos

Light Swords

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Moment Slide	15	1	Sliding leg sweep	X...O...X
Vertical Raid	24	2	Slashing attack from above	X...X...O
Bolt Slash	25	1	Slash from above	O...X...X

Purify Weird Soul: It shall be engraved upon your soul! Divine assault! Nibelung Valesti!

Lenneth has three versions, and the damage will depend on the type of sword equipped:

Nibelung 1	Nibelung 2	Nibelung 3
Energy:53 Hits:8 CT:4	Combo Points:59 Hits:9 CT:4	Combo Points:65 Hits:10 CT:4

Each attack adds in an extra, strong hit. As you can see, Nibelung 3 is her best attack. Few swords will let her use it, however. Check the weapons section to see which weapon enables her to perform "x" version of Nibelung Valesti.

Bows

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Tri-Blast	9	3	Fires in three directions	X...O...X
Spreadshot	20	2	Single explosive attack	O...X...X
Infinity Blast	24	4	Fires burst of energy	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul:Same as above.

The bow version of Nibelung Valesti hits more and charges up the combo meter, more than the swords and regular bow attacks.

Nibelung 1	Nibelung 2	Nibelung 3
Energy:84 Hits:12 CT:4	Combo Points:80 Hits:13 CT:4	Combo Points:96 Hits:14 CT:4

Check the weapons section to see which weapon enables her to perform "x" version of Nibelung Valesti.

Freya

Ether

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Aerial Burst	21	3	Coming soon	X...O...X
Critical Flare	24	9	Coming soon	O...X...X
Thunder Sword	50	5	Coming soon	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: Prepare to be cleansed! Divine assault! Ether Strike. Energy:10 Hits:1 CT:6

Despite her crappy energy/hit number (excluding her regular attacks, of course- yowza!), Freya's PWS hits as one of the strongest in the game. Use it LAST.

Arngrim

Heavy Swords

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Spinning Back Knuckle	15	1	Gauntlet counter-attack	O...X...X
Wrenching Swing	25	1	Powerful horizontal slash	X...X...O
High Wind	30	1	Slashing attack from above	X...O...X

Purify Weird Soul: I grow tired of you...finishing strike. Final Blast! Energy:80 Hits:8 CT:6

A great attack for damage and energy; maybe one of your best attacks in the first chapter (and through the whole game in Easy Mode).

Jelanda

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Fire Storm, Heal CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: This is Divine Punishment!

Jelanda's finishing strike depends on the attack spell she has equipped.

Yeah, talk about starting out with nothing.

Belenus

Light Swords

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
First Slash	15	1	Diagonal slash from above	O...X...X
Piercing Crusade	20	2	Forward piercing crush	X...X...O
Rising Slash	24	2	Upwards slash	X...O...X

Purify Weird Soul: Feel my wrath. Finishing strike. Extreme Void... Energy:30 Hits:2 CT:3

This is one of the strongest finishing moves in the game, next to Aelia, Lawfer and Freya. The fall back to the ground is very damaging.

Llewelyn

Bows

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
First Shot	5	1	Single attack at enemy Extremely weak	O...X...X
Twin Shot	10	2	Fires 2 arrows	X...O...X
Aiming Wisp	15	3	Fires a ray of light with 3 arrows	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: In the name of all the Gods! Finishing strike! Layer Storm!
Energy:100 Hits:20 CT:2

It doesn't hit hard, but it hits fast and lots! You're gauranteed a follow up finisher after you use Llewelyn's (100 Energy!!).

Lawfer

Spears

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Smash Axe	24	1	A horizontal slash	O...X...X
Prisoner Fang	30	1	Grab and pull enemy in with nails	X...O...X
Triple Thrust	30	3	The greatest move in getting gems/CT reducing orbs	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: I stake everything on this single blow. Finishing strike! Justice Stream! Energy:25 Hits:10 CT:2

One of the best finisher's if you've got a really good spear equipped, like the Crimson Edge. Lawfer's attacks can build up the combo meter really well, but his finisher doesn't really do that...so use his last, or first.

Janus

Bows

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Diseased Needle	2	2	Double attack with poison effect	O...X...X
Tri-Stinger	3	3	Fires 3 arrows	X...O...X
Restrain Flame	50	1	Fiery single attack	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: For my honour! Finishing strike. Guilty Break. Energy:72 Hits:9 CT:2

Holy energy charge, Batman! Just make sure to equip a weapon that allows three hits for Restrain Flame.

Aelia

Spears

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Roundkick	6	2	Multiple attack from above	O...X...X
Sonic Edge	9	1	Shock wave accompanied by a hurled spear	X...O...X
Spinning Edge	24	3	Revolving thrust attack	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: My soul burns...my power has awakened! Finishing strike! Dreaded Dragon! Energy:45 Hits:1 CT:3

As you can see, she's not a great combo builder when she attacks. However, her finisher is one of the most powerful in the game, so stick her with someone who has good energy to charge up the meter.

Nanami

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Fire Storm, Lightning Bolt, Normalize CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: Tenchu! Punishment from the heavens!

Nanami's finishing strike depends on the attack spell she has equipped.

Lightning Bolt! Talk about a breath of fresh air!

Yumei

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Frigid Damsel, Icicle Edge, Stone Torch CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: I hope that wasn't too strong!

Yumei's finishing strike depends on the attack spell she has equipped.

A mermaid with water spells? Le gasp! I would still pick Lightning Bolt over these options, though...

Kashell

Heavy Swords

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Low Swing	10	1	Slash from below	O...X...X
Air Pressure	15	1	Stab attack from above	X...X...O
Beast Tackle	30	2	Body attack into slash	X...O...X

Purify Weird Soul: I'll take care of this! Fnishing strike! Flashing Blade! Energy:69 Hits:3 CT:5

Kashell's finisher does decent damage and has more than efficient energy charge for a follow up! It's really quick, too. All hail Kashelly!

Jun

Katanas

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Koei-zan	5	1	Slash from behind	X...O...X
Senko-zan	10	2	Cross slash attack	O...X...X
So-enbu	24	2	Slash and two revolutions	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: Mugen no kensen! Blade art. Senko Jin! Energy:30 Hits:15 CT:2

Booyaka, Jun's finisher hits the second-most in the game (next to Brahms), which is good, because like Aelia, he doesn't charge up energy very well. Decent damage overall.

Lucian

Light Swords

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Slanting Blow	15	1	Coming soon	X...O...X
Air Slash	25	1	Coming soon	O...X...X
Shining Bolt	36	12	The greatest move for knocking out orbs	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: Valkyrie! Grant me power! Finishing strike! Round Rip Saber!
Energy:40 Hits:5 CT:3

Lucian is a great combo meter charger, and his overall damage is decent. Too bad you may choose not to keep him around, but remember that Lawfer has a great orb-stealing attack as well. Bye, Lucian!

Mystina

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Dark Savior, Sacred Javelin, Mystic Cross, Normalize, Sap Guard, Might/Guard Reinforce CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: You freaks have no reason to exist!

Mystina's finishing strike depends on the attack spell she has equipped.

Introducing a little more fire power. The best Great Magics can be accessed from Dark Savior and Mystic Cross.

Lorenta

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Fire Lance, Mystic Cross, Heal, Invoke Feather, Sap Guard CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: Depart now, you grotesque thing!

Lorenta's finishing strike depends on the attack spell she has equipped.

Quite a varied set-up, though you have probably learned them all through items, by this time. I just use her to hear her say the above. Tres cool.

Badrach

Bows

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Fifth Way	About 5 ???	5	Fires a fan shaped blast	X...O...X
Lunatic Shot	About 7 ???	7	Fires an intense shot at foe	X...X...O
Flare Shot	25	1	Hit causes explosion	O...X...X

Purify Weird Soul: You're dead, pal! Deathblow! Sphere Strike! Energy:30 Hits:1 CT:2

For the ten minutes I bothered to use him, his attacks weren't connecting for me. Ahh, if you want to feel a little risque, try using our friend Badrach?

Grey

Light and Heavy Swords

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Razor Edge	15	1	Downward slash and shockwave	O...X...X
Energy Cannon	15	3	Thrust accompanied by enery attack	X...X...O
Mortal Razor	15	1	Downward slash from above	X...O...X

Purify Weird Soul: I invoke the power of the Glacial Blade. Finish strike! ~~Culinary~~Icicle Disaster! Energy:58 Hits:8 CT:2

Grey's finisher charges the metre nicely, and he has low CT when it comes to using it. Unfortunately, he's definitely the weakest of the heavy knights.

Jayle

Light Swords

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Hind Edge	10	1	Upwards slash from above	X...X...O
Round Dance	15	1	Revolving slash	X...O...X
Gleam Charge	25	1	Thrust from the front	O...X...X

Purify Weird Soul: In the name of my lord! Finishing strike! Eternal Raid! Energy:58 Hits:8 CT:2

Her regular attack energy is average, although much higher with her finishing move. Average attack all around, but I like the fact that she doesn't dawdle when she strikes.

Shiho

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Heal, Normalize, Invoke Feather CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: Evil has no place in this world.

Shiho's finishing strike depends on the attack spell she has equipped.

Ohh, la la, a defense mage! I usually add more, along with Mystic Cross, and use her for the rest of the game.

Suo

Katanas

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Hyo-repa	10	1	Fires a shockwave	X...O...X
Yasha-Uchi	16	1	Sneak around enemy+stab from behind	X...X...O
Shisen	25	1	Horizontal slash	O...X...X

Purify Weird Soul: Body and soul will be torn asunder! Ougi; hyoso-hojin! Energy:48 Hits:5 CT:3

Same as Jayle. Decent damage. Good energy. Can be weak depending on the enemy.

Lyseria

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Sacred Javelin, Mystic Cross, Invoke Feather, Might/Guard Reinforce CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: In the name of the gods, I heal thee!

Lyseria's finishing strike depends on the attack spell he has equipped.

She's just like Shiho, but doesn't come with anything new or exciting. At this point, it's all about favoritism.

Gandar

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Fire Lance, Prismatic Missile, Poison Blow, Shadow Servant, Shield Critical CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: My sorcery makes even the gods tremble!

Gandar's finishing strike depends on the attack spell he has equipped. Haven't you learned this yet?!

You will have all the items needed to learn all of Gandar's spells by the time he joins you, but it's nice to know someone comes packed with a different variety of spells.

Lezard

Scepters

Starting Spells	Wait Reaction
Fire Lance, Prismatic Missile, Stone Torch, Poison Blow, Dark Savior, Mystic Cross, Invoke Feather, Guard Reinforce, Shield Critical, Dampen Magic CT:6	Energy:10 Hit:1

Purify Weird Soul: Hahahahahahahahaha!

Lezard's finishing strike depends on the attack spell he has equipped.

Nice array of magic, eh? It doesn't matter, by the time you manage to get him, but it's nice, you know, to have a hand in his sorcery now?

Brahms

Knuckles

Name	Energy	Hits	Notes	Default attack order
Bloody Knuckle	50	1	Downwards single punch	O...X...X
Deadly Raid	30	2	Uppercut	X...O...X
Immortal Blow	30	3	Bloody Knuckle+Deadly Raid combo	X...X...O

Purify Weird Soul: Feel the power of the darkness! Finishing strike! Bloody Curse! Energy:42 Hits:17 CT:2

Brahms has the highest multi-hitting finisher in the game! It's BRAHMS! DUDE! Look at that energy charge! King of the Undead has good CT too, so take advantage of this.
