I've got a LONG way to go. Started the introduction and Male Class descriptions. It's night now so I think tomorrow I'll start adding to it. Good night! 5/13/01- Dark33 sent in the rest of the male class descriptions. Submitted a preliminary version of this Guide. Much more coming in the next few days. 5/14/01- 5:20PM We decided to split up the female classes, with each of us doing half of the females. We finished that list today. Also did the Hawkman class as well. 5/15/01- 5:10PM Added in some of the Undead, and one Demon. More will be on the way. 5/17/01- 5:00PM Started the Spell FAQ. It's hard to do with so little time between school. 5/23/01- 6:45PM Haven't worked for a while. Thanks to school for me, and other FAQs for dark. Started the Dragon Class. 5/24/01- 10:30PM Submitted the latest version, 0.5. More coming very soon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Introduction Welcome to Ogre Battle64 Class/Spell Guide! Ogre Battle is a truly wonderful game. I like how each character has a different class, which gives them a special ability. I also enjoy casting spells and combining magic. Magic is what makes an RPG great, so I had to include it in here. This FAQ describes every class I could possibly remember from a solider to a Paladin. Well, I'll check up on my game too so that I can make sure everything is accurate. Please note anything that I may have missed. Even I make mistakes sometimes. If you spot a mistake I may have made, or I left something out, contact me at once. Enjoy! Overmind and Dark33 team up to present you with a nice Class FAQ with all the spells in the game thrown in as well! We'll make sure not to skip any classes, and we'll provide information as detailed and accurate as possible. We'll try to get this information to you as quickly as we can. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Male Class/Description The male classes are usually the strong, fighting type. They range from Knights to Wizards and include several other classes. What we've done here is put down the name of the unit, the basic equipment they come with (you need to have the basic equipment to be able to turn one of your guys into that class), the moves they use, the alignment you need to get one, a description, and of course, comments on the class. For the moves section, the move at the top will be performed if the character in the front row. The second from the top is for the middle. And the bottom one is for the back row. ============================================================================= Unit: Solider Basic Equipment: Short Spear/Half Armor Moves: Thrust x 1 Thrust x 1 Thrust x 1 Alignment needed: Any Description: Inexperienced foot soldiers that travel in a group of three. They use their spears to thrust into the enemy. Comments: These guys are not very good. But if you want new guys, you'll have to put up with them for a while. As you lose HP, you'll lose one soldier in the group, which lessens your attack. Have patience! When they gain enough experience, they'll evolve into a fighter or amazon, depending on the leader's gender. ============================================================================= Unit: Fighter Basic Equipment: Short Sword/Chain Mail/Round Shield/Iron Helmet Moves: Slash x 2 Slash x 1 Slash x 1 Alignment needed: Any Description: Evolved solider that has gained enough experience to fight on his own. Comments: Train it well! This guy will later become your Knight or anything! It's got okay status. Make sure when your solider evolves, it's in a unit with a male leader. It uses regular swords. Train it, and at level 7-10, it should be able to evolve. ============================================================================= Unit: Knight Basic Equipment: Baldr Sword/Plate Armor/Armet/Kite Shield Moves: Slash x 2 Slash x 1 Slash x 1 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Total Lawful Description: Knight clad in full armor who fights for pride and honor. His offensive and defensive capabilities are well balanced. Comments: Not a bad guy, especially in the front row, and for the early part of the game. He uses regular swords, and is a great person to have on Magnus's group. It also has pretty good defense. Once you get all of the basic equipment, change at least a few of your fighters into Knights when they're at level 7-9. Train him to be lawful, and you'll be rewarded with the option of changing it into an even stronger class! ============================================================================= Unit: Beserker Basic Equipment: Fransisca/Leather Armor/Iron Helmet Moves: Strike x 2 Strike x 1 Strike x 1 Alignment needed: Neutral-Total Chaotic Description: Fearless warrior with extraordinary strength and toughness. He attacks with full might regardless of status. Comments: If you want a Black Knight, this class is good to start it out as. His attack his really good, especially if you give him the Flame Flail, which you get in Scene 7. You should give him a better hat and armor. His defense his so-so. He's basically the pre-Black Knight Class, so if you're eyeing one of those, you might want to turn one of these guys into a Black Knight as soon as you can. Unit: Fencer Basic Equipment: Bastard Sword/Cloth Armor/Jingasa Moves: Slash x 2 Slash x 1 Slash x 1 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-total lawful Description: Experienced Swordsman who's distinct style allows to move swiftly and wield a greatsword with ease. Comments: I wouldn't recommend it for the start of the game. It uses Great Swords, which are so rare at the beginning of the game. In fact, the Bastard Sword is the only one for a while. When you get better swords, it'll be okay to take one, but it'll probably be able to become a Sword Master by then. They aren't quite as powerful attackers as Knights, and they definitely have worse defense. Therefore, train Knights instead of Fencers, even if you want to use Swordmasters later. ============================================================================= Unit: Phalanx Basic Equipment: Spear/Large Shield/Plate Mail/Iron Helmet Moves: Pierce x 2 Pierce x 1 Pierce x 1 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Semi Lawful Description: Heavy infantryman equipped with spear and a large round shield. This class plays a pivotal role in defense. Comments: A good unit to have protecting a unit with bad defense. His defense is great! You'll have to get better spears if you want him to be a good attacker, however. It's not bad to have, but it's fragile against magic, so watch out! He belongs in the front row, obviously, since he can take quite a bit of punishment. Spears are in short supply early in the game, unfortunately. ============================================================================= Unit: Beast Tamer Basic Equipment: Leather Whip/Leather Armor Moves: Lash x 2 Lash x 1 Lash x 1 Alignment needed: Slight Lawful-Total chaotic Description: With whip in hand, the Beast Tamer commands beasts, and brings out their full potential. Comments: Don't make me laugh. These guys dish out moderate damage, but their defense is pretty bad. There are much better guys to use like the Beserker or the Knight. Only if you have beasts in your group should you even consider using one of these. They increase the power of beasts in their group, which may be worth it, but Beast Tamers are not powerful at all. Whips are basically non- existent early in the game. ============================================================================= Unit: Doll Master Basic Equipment: Marionette/Robe/Amulet/Bandana Moves: Pull Strings x 2 Pull Strings x 2 Pull Strings x 1 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Semi Lawful Description: This class uses a doll as a weapon and commands Golems. Comments: You won't get a better doll until Chapter 2 unless you get the Gallant Doll on Magnus' 20th birthday. These guys aren't that bad if you have a strong group to back up their weak defense. Remember to put them in the front row and keep it neutral so it can evolve into an Enchanter. If you want to protect it from powerful enemies, you can put them in the middle row since they still go twice there. ============================================================================= Unit: Ninja Basic Equipment: Iron Claw/Ninja Gear/Hachigane Moves: Rend x 2 Rend x 1 Rend x 1 Alignment needed: Neutral-Total Chaotic Description: Martial artist with great agility who wields a set of claws and eliminates all who stand in his way. Comments: Huh? Forget it. Not worth it. They aren't very strong. Like the Great Swords, Claws are very rare. Ninjas are less powerful attackers than Knights and Beserkers, and they have worse HP and defense, which makes them basically useless. There aren't that many Ninjas in the game either, as enemies. They could be useful if they evolve into Ninja Masters, when they'll go 3 times in the front, but until then, don't even bother. ============================================================================= Unit: Wizard Basic Equipment: Scripply Staff/Robe/Amulet/SpellBook Moves: Elemental Magic x 1 Elemental Magic x 1 Elemental Magic x 2 (with spellbook, the attack will be their element. Can be changed with different books) Alignment needed: Neutral-Total Chaotic Description: Male spellcaster who devotes himself on uncovering the mysteries of magic. Comments: Great to have in the back row. It'll become more powerful, and that's always a good thing. In the back row, it'll cast a magic spell. If it has a spellbook, its spell will be equal to its element (If his element is fire, the spell will be fireball. Keep it chaotic so you can evolve into a more powerful wizard. Magic will hurt enemies in the back row, who are normally protected, so you can hurt them now. ============================================================================= Unit: Paladin Basic Equipment: Blessed Sword/Baldr Armor/Baldr Helmet/Kite Shield Moves: Slash x 3 Slash x 2 Elemental Magic x 2 Alignment needed: Semi Lawful-Total Lawful Description: Attaining knighthood, he has the ability to draw magical power out of his sword. Comments: A must get! A Paladin is not only powerful, but he goes three times in the front row. If you put him in the back row, he will use elemental magic, but don't bother. He will add much strength to a group of Lawful characters. Be sure to upgrade his equipment to make him impenetrable against physical attacks. With high HP, excellent attack, and very good defense, he's one of the best characters to use in a unit. Definitely put him in the front row, as they go three times there. ============================================================================= Unit: Dragoon Basic Equipment: Sword of Tiamat/Dragon Armor/Dragon Helmet Moves: Slash x 3 Slash x 2 Slash x 2 Alignment needed: Any Description: Also known as the Dragon Killer, this class is trained to single-handedly vanquish fearsome Dragons. Comments: Ouch! These guys rule! Their attack is superior to most guys. But the only way to get it is to follow a difficult process (email dark33 or me if you want to know). If you have one, give it your most powerful Great Sword. They also have great agility and defense. They go three times in the front, have excellent defense and HP, and superior attack. Get it! ============================================================================= Unit: Black Knight Basic Equipment: Satan's Bullova/Baldr Armor/Valiant Mantle/Armet Moves: Cleave x 2 Cleave x 2 Elemental Magic x 2 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Total chaotic Description: Knight clad in pitch black armor that strikes fear in his enemies. He has the ability to draw magical power out of his weapon. Comments: Yes! Now we're talking! Powerful attackers, and excellent defense. Definitely put these babies in the front row, their magic attack is horrible when positioned in the back. Unfortunately, you can only get a limited number of these guys. Make sure you have some chaotic units to put these guys in. They'll really soften up the enemy for your powerful spellcasters in the back row to destroy. ============================================================================= Unit: Sword Master Basic Equipment: Claymore/Cloth Armor/Hachigane Moves: Slash x 3 Slash x 2 Sonic Boom x 2 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Total lawful Description: The master swordsman who strikes are so swift that they create powerful shockwaves. Comments: Not too useful until you get the Chadholg greatsword, which will annihilate the opposition. They go three times in the front, which is where they should be placed. Sonic Boom is fairly weak and it hurts yourself too, so don't place it in the back. Just as good as Paladins, and in fact have slightly better attack, but a little less defense. Get one, if only to use that Chadholg sword. If you get the Ogre Blade, get another one of these. ============================================================================= Unit: Cataphract Basic Equipment: Baldr Spear/Heavy Armor/Tower Shield/Armet Moves: Pierce x 2 Pierce x 2 Pierce x 2 Alignment: Semi chaotic-Semi Lawful Description: Heavy infantryman protected with full body armor and an enormous shield. His impenetrable defense more than makes up for his lack of speed. Comments: Superior defense, but his attacking skills leave much to be desired. Since he only goes twice in the front row, he won't really damage anyone very badly. In addition, spears are definitely not the best type of weapon to attack with. These guys are only good if you REALLY need to beef up defense in your unit. Otherwise, skip this and instead go for a Paladin, Sword Master, or Black Knight. ============================================================================= Unit: Beast Master Basic Equipment: Rapture Rose/Hard Leather Moves: Lash x 2 Lash x 2 Lash x 2 Alignment: Total Chaotic-Neutral Description: The master Beast Tamer who can communicate with beasts and elevate their potential above their limits. Comments: Not too useful unless you like to use beasts. If a beast is in a unit with Beast Masters, the beast will have a substantial increase in stats. Otherwise, there are better neutral/chaotic fighters to use such as the Enchanter or the Black Knight. ============================================================================= Unit: Enchanter Basic Equipment: Fool/Magician's Robe/Amulet/Bandana Moves: Pull Strings x 3 Pull Strings x 2 Pull Strings x 2 Alignment: Semi Chaotic-Semi Lawful Description: Considered the elite Doll Master, this class is capable of breathing life into dolls and Golems. Comments: Probably the best class to use if you have a high level neutral guy. He goes three times in the front row, with powerful damage, as long as you have a pretty good doll. Unfortunately, his defense leaves much to be desired, and he is vulnerable. You can try putting him in the back as well, although he'll only go twice. ============================================================================= Unit: Ninja Master Basic Equipment: Baldr Claw/Ninja Garb/Hannya Mask Moves: Rend x 3 Rend x 2 Ninja Art x 2 Alignment: Total Chaotic-Semi Chaotic Description: Head of the Ninjas, he has gained the ability to wield a special form of magic called ninjutsu. Comments: They go three times in the front row, which is a defnite plus. In the back row, he'll use an area effect spell, which will dish out moderate damage. Not too bad of a choice, especially if you can't get a Black Knight or anything better than it is. Better choice than a Beast Master for sure, so get this instead of a Beast Master. ============================================================================= Unit: Archmage Basic Equipment: Arc Wand/Magician's Robe/Spellbook/Amulet Moves: Elemental Magic x 1 Elemental Magic x 2 Area effect spell x 2 Alignment: Total Chaotic-Semi Chaotic Description: One who stands above wizards. With his vast arcane knowledge, he is able to cast area effect spells. Comments: Excellent spellcasters who should DEFINITELY be put in the back row. Low defense, but powerful spells that are area effect in the back. That means that it could potentially hurt up to four enemies if bunched together. A good class to use for sure. ***************************************************************************** Lich and Vampire will go under the UNDEAD class. ***************************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Female Classes The female classes are varied from the strong, fighting type to magical attackers or healers. They range from Freyas to Sorceresses and include several other classes like Priests. Once again, what we've done here is put down the name of the unit, the basic equipment they come with (you need to have the basic equipment to be able to turn one of your guys into that class), the moves they use, the alignment you need to get one, a description, and of course, comments on the class. For the moves section, the move at the top will be performed if the character in the front row. The second from the top is for the middle. And the bottom one is for the back row. ============================================================================= Unit: Amazon Basic Equipment: Short Bow/Leather Armor/Bandana Moves: Shoot x 1 Shoot x 1 Shoot x 2 Alignment: Any Description: Basic female class with a bow and arrows having gained enough experience on her own. Comments: You'll start off with a few of these, most likely. You should obviously put them in the back, so that they go twice. You should change class as soon as you can, however, to pretty much whatever you want. ============================================================================= Unit: Archer Basic Equipment: Great Bow/Leather Armor/Leather Hat Moves: Shoot x 1 Shoot x 2 Shoot x 2 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Semi Lawful Description: Though using the same weapons, the Archers skill easily surpasses that of the Amazon. Comments: It's good to have in the back row. You should get some in the first chapter. They work well when they're attacking, but have bad defense, so have someone in front of them so they can't be attacked physically. Magic is not that effective against them. Overall, not bad in the beginning. ============================================================================= Unit: Dragon Tamer Basic Equipment: Rapier/Chain Mail/Bone Helmet Moves: Thrust x 2 Thrust x 1 Thrust x 1 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Semi Lawful Description: With her thrusting sword, the Dragon Tamer commands huge dragons, and brings out their full potential. Comments: You shouldn't use it unless you have a dragon in that unit. Her attack and defense are not bad. You need to keep her neutral, though. She makes a dragon's attack even higher than before. Thanks to her solid defense and her capability to go twice in the front row, if you decide to use one, that's where it should go. Remember not to use her without a dragon. ============================================================================= Unit: Valkerie Basic Equipment: Spear/Round Shield/Breastplate/Plumed Headband Moves: Cleave x 2 Cleave x 1 Lighting x 2 Alignment needed: Neutral-Total Lawful Description: Warrior maiden of the gods. She attacks gracefully with her spear, and wields the power of wind. Comments: You must get them at a high level if you want it to hit hard. You can put it in the front row since it's slightly stronger there, but that leaves her open to attack. Her low HP can leave her reeling during an attack. Lightning isn't quite as strong, but it'll leave her more protected. You should automatically get some at the beginning of Scene Three, in Leia's new group. ============================================================================= Unit: Witch Basic Equipment: Scripplay Staff/Witch's Dress/Pointy Hat/Spellbook Moves: Witch Magic x 1 Witch Magic x 1 Witch Magic x 2 Alignment needed: Neutral-Total Chaotic Description: This class specializes in casting supportive spells. The wide brimmed hat is her trademark. Comments: Don't even bother. They don't do any damage to anyone. Their magic causes status effects. Still it's not that special if you want a strong, dominant, and powerful unit. If you get one at the beginning of the game, change it as soon as you can. It'll either paralyze, put to sleep, or poison the enemy, but most people, including I would rather have a character that causes damage instead. ============================================================================= Unit: Sorceress Basic Equipment: Scripplay Staff/Witch's Dress/Amulet/Spellbook Moves: Elemental Magic x 1 Elemental Magic x 1 Elemental Magic x 2 Alignment needed: Neutral-Total Chaotic Description: Beautiful female spellcaster who's magical ability is somewhat greater than the Wizards. Comments: Like the Archer, it's great to have in the back row. Like the Archer again, it has bad defense. But don't let that intimidate you! These girls rule! With their strong magic, they dominate the back row and can even combine their magic if the two are targeting the same enemy. The magic will get more and more powerful as they gain levels, and they're a perfect fit for the back row of some units. Get some of them! ============================================================================= Unit: Cleric Basic Equipment: Light Mace/Rosary/Cleric's Vestment Moves: Healing x 1 Healing x 1 Healing x 2 Alignment needed: Neutral-Total Lawful Description: Though forbidden to harm others, the Cleric is able to heal her companions through her faith. Comments: You shouldn't get one at the beginning, because you won't really need healing abilities until later. You won't be using one for very long. Wait until you can turn someone into a Priest. A Cleric is sometimes good, but she only heals one person. Watch out for putting her in the front row. Her defense is bad, and she'll only heal once there. If you must have one, put her in the back row. ============================================================================= Unit: Diana Basic Equipment: Ytival/Hard Leather/Plumed Headband Moves: Shoot x 1 Shoot x 2 Shoot x 3 Alignment needed: Neutral-Semi Chaotic Description: Master of Archery and a specialist in range combat. Her speed and accuracy are incomparable. Comments: Really good back row attackers! Their speed is wonderful, and best of all, they go three times! Everyone likes that! Their attack is awesome too. They can seriously damage opposing units, thanks to their high attack and ability to go three times. Again don't put them in the front because of their pathetic defense and since they only go once there. ============================================================================= Unit: Dragon Master Basic Equipment: Estoc/Scale Armor/Plumed Headband Moves: Thrust x 2 Thrust x 2 Thrust x 2 Alignment: Neutral-Semi Lawful Description: This title is given to a Dragon Tamer who can elevate their potential above their limits. Comments: Like the Dragon Tamer, don't bother with one unless you have a dragon in her unit. She's not that much stronger than the Dragon Tamer. Remember she powers up dragons. Still not recommended for a strong unit. You can hide her in the back row, because she goes twice anywhere, and she'll take less damage there, which will help her out. ============================================================================= Unit: Freya Basic Equipment: Thunder Spear/Baldr Mail/Armet/Buckler Moves: Cleave x 2 Cleave x 2 Area effect magic x 2 Alignment needed: Semi Lawful-Total Lawful Description: Warrior Maiden given divine protection from her patron god. She excells in both physical combat and sorcery. Comments: Now we're talking! They are both great attackers and spell-casters. When put in the back, they're weaker, but they still hurt a lot. In fact, the spells they cast are area effect, so they'll damage more than one enemy. Their physical attack is nice too, but they're kind of vulnerable in the front row. You should find shields for her because a Buckler is not that good. All and all, not too bad! ============================================================================= Unit: Siren Basic Equipment: Arc Wand/Fur Coat/Spellbook/Amulet Moves: Elemental Magic x 1 Elemental Magic x 2 Area Effect Magic x 2 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Total chaotic Description- Even more powerful and beautiful then the sorceress, the Siren is able to cast area effect spells. Comments: Oh yeah! These girls are beautiful in both looks AND magic! In the back, they use those wonderful area effect spells. Give it better wands too and they'll be unbeatable. Make sure she's in the back, though, because you'll cast area effect spells back there and you'll be in a better defensive position. Their low defense and HP is probably their only drawback. ============================================================================= Unit: Priest Basic Equipment: Baldr Mace/Robe of the Wise/Rosary Moves: Healing Plus x 1 Healing Plus x 1 Healing Plus x 2 Alignment needed: Semi Lawful-Total Lawful Description- High ranking Cleric who's compassionate prayer heals the injured. Comments: Great too! Have in a unit that is very susceptible to damage. She can heal multiple allies, so in the unit she's in, try to group characters together so that many can be healed. Maces are rare, but they power her up greatly! Give her an amulet, for it is better than Rosary, but if you get some new stuff like the Ring of Eloquence, give her one of those. Robe of the Wise is a great robe too, but the Bloodstained Robe is better Defense again is fragile, so make sure that she is protected. ============================================================================= Unit: Princess Basic Equipment: Battle Fan/Pure White Dress/Dream Tiara/Spellbook Moves: Elemental Magic x 1 Elemental Magic x 2 Area effect Magic x 2 Alignment needed: Semi Lawful-Total Lawful Description: Her dignity and charisma are such that her companions are inspired to perform beyond their potential. Comments: Great! It's takes a long process, but when you get her, WOW! If you put her as the leader in a unit, she'll make them do another turn (ex: Paladin goes from 3 turns to 4 turns). This will definitely vastly increase the amount of damage your unit will dish out. By herself, she's not very strong, but it's worth it to have one because of her effect on others. Make sure you get one for an ultimate team! ***************************************************************************** The Lich class is in the UNDEAD section The Angel Knight is in the UNDEAD section ***************************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Hawkman Classes There are only three in the Hawkman Classes. But these three can deal a lot of damage to the enemy. You've got make sure you put the actual Hawkman in the front row. The Ravan and Vultan can go in any row. Now, without further distraction, the Hawkman class! ============================================================================= Unit: Hawkman Basic Equipment: Halt Hammer/Leather Armor/Bandana Moves: Strike x 2 Strike x 1 Strike x 1 Alignment needed: Any Description: Temperamental and aggressive, this class can move without terrain restrictions. Comments: Give it good axes, and it'll be good! Always put it in the front row so it'll go twice. It's guarding abilities are slightly good too, guarding more attacks than other classes. Equip better armor and hats too, so he won't be that vulnerable. ============================================================================= Unit: Vultan Basic Equipment: Baldr Club/Hard Leather/Hachigane Moves: Strike x 2 Strike x 1 Wind Shot x 2 Alignment needed: Slightly Chaotic-Total Lawful Description: Descended from the ancient clan of noble Hawkmen, once said to have ruled the heavens. Comments: Doesn't start out with the best stuff, so make it better with better equipment. It can really guard against many attacks and fairly often too. It casts a pretty strong attack in the back row called Wind Shot, but they're pretty much better when put in the front row. Get this if your Hawkman is Lawful. ============================================================================= Unit: Raven Basic Equipment: Baldr Axe/Armet/Hard Leather Moves: Strike x 2 Strike x 1 Thunder Arrow x 2 Alignment needed: Slightly Lawful-Total chaotic Description: Hawkman who fell in the way of darkness. Extremely violent, a Raven finds pleasure drawing blood. Comments: Even better than the Vultan in my opinion. Thunder Shot looks different than Wind Shot, but is just as strong. They seem to guard more attacks, and they also start out with better equipment. This is the recommended Hawkman evolution, as long as he's even remotely chaotic. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Beast Classes (coming soon) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Dragon Classes Dragons are big and take up space, but they're pretty good. Keep most of them neutral if you want them to evolve. To get a Platinum Dragon, turn a young dragon lawful. To get a Black dragon, get a young dragon chaotic. It has three evolutions. Now here are the dragons. ============================================================================= Dragon: Young Dragon Basic Equipment: none Moves: Bite x 2 Bite x 1 Bite x 1 Alignment needed: None Description: ? Comments: You have to find one in the wild. If you keep it neutral, it'll evolve into a dragon of its element. Lawful will make it Platinum. Chaotic will make it Black. You may have to make a lot of room for it to be in your group. Hope it evolves at an earliest level possible. They themselves pack a bit of a punch, but they aren't very good until they evolve. ============================================================================= Dragon: Red Dragon Basic Equipment: none Moves: Bite x 2 Bite x 1 Fire Breath x 1 Alignment needed: Neutral Description: ? Comments: The middle class dragons are the same, but still pretty good. You need a fire elemental, neutral Young Dragon to get one. It uses Fire Breath in the back row, but only once. So you should probably put it in the front and next to a strong fighter. Bite will do a good deal of damage to the enemy, and fire breath does a little bit more. ============================================================================= Dragon: Black Dragon Basic Equipment: none Moves: Bite x 2 Bite x 1 Rotten Breath x 1 Alignment needed: chaotic Description: ? Comments: These guys are difficult to get unless you try to find it in the wild. You need a chaotic Young Dragon or you can find it in the wild. It uses rotten breath in the back row, which is a fairly strong attack, but it only goes once. Therefore, instead put it in the front where it can do better damage by going twice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Undead Classes The undead Classes contain units that are dead, but are still fighting. Some, like the Zombies, are weak and useless. Others, like the Lich and Angel Knight, are great. It is difficult to get the Angel Knight. If you're lucky, you'll get it instead of a zombie. So now, the Undead Class. ============================================================================= Unit: Zombie Basic Equipment: Old clothing Moves: Bite x 2 Bite x 1 Bite x 1 Alignment needed: Any Description: Male: The living dead that continues to roam the battlefield. Female: Undead warrior who's former beauty is no where to be seen. Comments: I don't like getting these guys. When a character dies, there is a chance it'll become a Zombie. These guys are horrible. They have weak defense. The only good thing is that they come back from the dead if they are killed in battle. But if an undead is hit and dies by Virtue, it won't comeback. If someone dies, immediately use an Alter of Resurrection on him/her or go to a witches den. You don't want a prized character go to waste. ============================================================================= Unit: Skeleton Basic Equipment: Halt Hammer/Torn Cloth Moves: Strike x 2 Strike x 1 Strike x 1 Alignment needed: Total Chaotic Description: Magically animated human remains. It will reform itself over and over again until released to sleep for eternity. Comments: Don't worry about the alignment. You'll only find it in the wild or by a special method of having one of your zombies attacked by a fire elemental spell or weapon. But when you do find or get one, it can be very useful. If you power it up and upgrade his weapons, he'll serve you well. Once again watch out for moves of Virtue. They'll do a skeleton in, permanently. ============================================================================= Unit: Ghost Basic Equipment: Torn Cloth Moves: Nightmare x 1 Nightmare x 1 Nightmare x 2 Alignment needed: Total Chaotic Description: Wandering spirit of the deceased. Since they are non-corporeal, physical attacks do minimal damage. Comments: Again you can only catch it in the wild or by another special method, by having one of your undead behind attacked by a wind elemental attack (not sure on this...). It's not worth it though. All they do is Nightmare, which puts the target asleep. Like the Skeleton and Zombie, it doesn't like attacks of virtue. Go for the Skeleton instead. ============================================================================= Unit: Lich Basic Equipment: Kerykerion/Bloodstained Robe/Ring of the Dead/Book of Bane Moves: Elemental Magic x 2 Elemental Magic x 2 Area Effect Magic x 3 Alignment needed: Semi chaotic-Total chaotic Description: Comments: OH YEAH! They rule even more than Sirens and Archmages! Now you go THREE times in the back row. Best of all, not status changes effect it. Only bad point is slightly bad defense. Ring of the Dead is hard to find, but make sure you get one. There are only two in the game. Double Trouble! A must get! Make sure you have a chaotic group to make room for him/her. Strong spell caster + 3 times attacking = pain for your enemies. NOTE: Yes, the Lich is undead, but, however, they DO NOT regenerate if killed! ============================================================================= Unit: Vampire Basic Equipment: Count's Garment/Bloody Cleaver Moves: Night Day Life Drain x 2 Take a Peek x 1 Life Drain x 2 Take a Peek x 1 Life Drain x 2 Flip Over x 1 Alignment needed: Neutral-Total chaotic Description: The undead ruler of the night. His power is formidable, but he must stay within his coffin at day. Comments: People hate it, but it's not THAT bad. I mean, it takes life away, and heals himself with it. The bad part is that he has to stay in his coffin at daytime, so your unit can't move. Don't let voices sway your decision. Get one and make the decision for yourself. They do moderate damage, but the damage they do is healed. Unfortunately, this damage leaves much to be desired. ============================================================================= Unit: Angel Knight Basic Equipment: Needle of Light/? Moves: Pierce x 2 Pierce x 2 Banish x 2 Alignment needed: Any Description: Comments: Strong female warriors that belong in the front row. Use a love and peace on a leaderless unit with Angel Knights if you want to get one the easiest way. Once you have one, put it in the front row, and it will slash the enemy to death. If it gains enough experience, it seems to evolve into an even more powerful undead creature... NOTE: Yes, the Angel Knight is undead, but, however, they DO NOT regenerate if killed! (more coming soon) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Demon Classes Unit: Santuros Basic Equipment: Evil Axe/Hard Leather Moves: Strike x 2 Strike x 2 Elemental Magic x 2 Alignment needed: Any Description: Warrior of the Netherworld with horns and lower torso of a goat. Being highly intelligent, it can cast spells. Comments: Pretty powerful, but extremely hard to get. You need to use a love and peace on a unit with a Santuros in it. If you equip them well, they'll be especially powerful. Solid front row attackers that take up only one square. Difficult to get, but pretty good fighters, and definitely better than Ravens/Vultans (which use the same equipment).

Golem Classes (coming soon) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. Spell Guide Magic is the wonderful thing that completes an RPG.
