We've got a massive list here, broken down by element and type. Don't get overwhelmed! We'll go through the main categories and highlight what you should be looking out for as you progress. Understanding these will help you make smarter fusion choices and equip your demons more effectively.
Skill Categories Explained
Skills are broadly categorized, and within those, you'll find specific types. Here’s a quick rundown of the major ones:
- Physical: These are your bread-and-butter attacks. They range from basic strikes like Blunt and Weapon to more specialized ones like Bite and Claw. Don't underestimate them; they're reliable and often cost less MP.
- Elemental: This is where you'll find your offensive magic. Think Fire, Ice, Elec, and Force (wind). Each has its own strengths and weaknesses against different enemies, so having a variety is crucial. Some are 'Comuns' (common), while others are 'Mouth' skills, which are often more powerful versions or unique to certain demons.
- Almighty: These are rare and powerful skills that don't have elemental weaknesses, making them great for hitting tough enemies.
- Expel & Death: These are holy and dark-themed attacks, respectively. They often inflict status effects or deal heavy damage, but many enemies have resistances or immunities.
- Curse, Nerve, Mind: These often focus on inflicting status ailments (like Charm, Sleep, or Forget) or debuffing enemies. They can be incredibly useful for controlling the battlefield. 'Eye' skills in these categories can be particularly potent.
- Healing: Essential for keeping your party alive. This includes basic healing spells and 'Passivas' that might boost recovery.
- Support: These skills buff your party (like increasing defense or attack) or debuff enemies in ways other than direct damage or status effects. 'Exclusivas' here can be game-changers.
- Special: A catch-all for unique and powerful abilities that don't fit neatly into other categories.
- Suicide: As the name implies, these skills often deal massive damage at the cost of the user's HP, sometimes even sacrificing the demon. Use with extreme caution!
- Talk: These skills are related to demon negotiation and recruitment, including 'Recrutamento' (Recruitment) and 'Troca' (Exchange).
As you explore, you'll find demons with different innate skills and learn new ones through fusion. Always check a demon's skill set and consider what your team is missing. Do you need more elemental coverage? A reliable healer? A demon that can inflict status effects? Keep this list handy as a reference!
