Etrian Odyssey V – skills, races and classes detailed; new screens and art
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Atlus has released some new info, screenshots and antwort on Etrian Odyssey V via 4Gamer. The fine folks over at Gematsu have translated the new information, which dives into some interesting gameplay details about skills, classes and races, the latter of which play a bigger role than ever before.
Each race has a unique set of skills, adding another layer of complexity and depth to character development.
The human-like Earthrun have the ability to fish in dungeons and also have a resistance to sealing.
The elf-like Lunaria have two passive skills: Magical Perception allows them to detect magic users nearby while also giving them a small bonus to their INT stat, while Magical Endowment powers up attack items and increases their LUC stat.
The beast-like Therian can hunt for food in dungeons using their Hunting Art skill, which also passively increases their STR stat. In addition, their Vigilance skill increases the rate of preemptive strikes that you get, depending on how many of your party members have this skill. It also increases their WIS stat.
The small-statured Bronii, finally, have the extremely useful skill Align Art, which increases the number of items you can carry by 5 for each party member with this skill while also increasing your VIT. Their Herbalism skill, meanwhile, increases the effectiveness of healing items.
Another new feature are the so-called Union Skills – powerful abilities than can only be activated by multiple party members at once when the Union Gauge is full.
Head past the break for character skills, screenshots and art!
Some info about some of the classes found in the game:
Fencer
Fencers are front row fighters that rely on evasion. Examples of their skills are Vision Thrust, which can blind an enemy, and Chain Fire, which allows the Fencer to attack again if the enemy suffers a stab or fire attack in that turn.
Warlock
Warlocks are elemental magic users that operate from the back row. They can use skills such as Fireball, which hits a primary target and any enemies immediately to its right and left, and High-Speed Casting, which allows you to cast spells without using up a turn. However, this increases the TP cost of the skills used.
Dragoon
Dragoons are front row tanks. Their skills include Line Guard, which lowers the damage taken by one row of allies during the turn it is used, and Barrage Wall, which performs a ranged attack on all enemies while also lowering their physical attack.
Masurao
Masurao operate in the front row and are expert damage dealers thanks to their proficiency with swords. Their skills include Oni Musou, which delivers multiple hits for high damage, and Parry, which hits once before and once more after an enemy’s attack.
Herbalist
Herbalists are back row healers who use various herbs to heal allies and harm enemies – for example, they can use Cure Herb to restore one ally’s HP and Poison Smoke to poison a row of enemies.
