The samurai's lightning strike

[wcip]Angel · 03-22-2002, 08:38 PM

How many attacks is it theoretically possible to get? I noticed today that the display screen said "7" attacks in 1 single lightning strike.. is it possible to get more? I mean, 7 is insane! Right now my lvl 10 samurai deals about 40-50 dmg per blow.. you multiply that by 7, and that's 300-350 in 1 single attack. That's way more than any of my lvl 20-25 fighters have ever managed to deal!

iirc, according to AtlusSeven and Boscher and IllglWeapons, 7 is the max, while 6 is more the norm.

remember, tho, they are random and no one has been able to figger out just what triggers these lightning strikes nor what one can do to make sure they get more of them. ::shrugs, smiling::

isn't just FAB to watch, tho!!!

V***V

Yeah, I don't get them that often. But I HAVE figured out a pattern

You have two opponents infront of you.

Opponent A is at full health, about 400hp.. Opponent B has been severely damaged by the rest of your group, it has about 2 hp left. It's the samurai's turn, and it's targeting opponent B. 9 times out of 10, he WILL get a lightning strike in that scenario. [img]smile.gif[/img]
