Secret of Mana - Saber Magic - Elementally Useless
« on: January 10, 2008, 04:31:04 PM »
Supposedly, elemental saber magic is supposed to increase your damage vs enemies weak against an elemental.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. If you use the elemental favorable to the enemy, the enemy does not take less damage, in fact, it would be increased damage.

Now, what would account for that? Well, basically the saber itself increases your attack power, depending on the spell level itself. The damage is slight, but it becomes much more apparent when your attack power is higher. Best part is that this stacks with Lunar Boost.

I'm curious to test this out or hear someone else's results from the Gigas fights...

Do you actually deal more damage under the effect of the bosses' Saber spells? :hmm:

Well, just do it against regular enemies first. Test different level saber spells and enemies weak vs a particular element.

I used a Level 4 Light Saber, and it did no extra damage vs Dark Stalkers other than the damage boost I'm talking about. I used a Level 7 Water Saber and it did more damage than the Light Saber.

The bosses saber spell only help you if they are stronger than your current saber level (which, more often than not is the case).
