The japanese for this skill is super confusing.

After confirming with a friend the description for the link skills seem to state that YOU are the one initiating an elemental attack and that your teammates are the ones doing the follow up. Haven't tested yet sorry!
Does it mean you HAVE TO already have your weapon imbued with an element through the use of elemental oils/skills? Or can you create it from scratch? I don't know, need testing.
I will test this one soon...

What's interesting is that I can still use sonic raid despite using rapier/saber-type weapons.

For whatever reason =/

I just figured it would be a sword only skill, and yet it works with rapiers/sabers, which is a completely different weapon type.

^ Ah.

It seems to be good at going first. Is that a combo I see?

Hold the phone. According to Unity of Offense and Defense, Swordsman can equip two weapons?

Ok so for the Gouwan Ryouri skill it is maxed at level one and is listed as a Heavenly skill. All classes have one heavenly skill that is basically linked to a stat. Important thing I didn't mention is that the skill's description states that the skill's effect becomes stronger if more than one member of the party has this skill. Imagine an all Swordsmen party ...

Also about the Unity of offence and defence, it does seem to hint at a future sub classing allowing the swordsman to wield two weapons at once.
It is quite strange to have such a skill from the get go.


Also about the distinction between the novice veteran and master skills. You can't put any points in veteran skills before reaching lvl 20 and into the master skills before lvl 40.

I am not too happy about that as it hinders my customisation but I suppose it is for the sake of balance!

Will translate fortress skill tree today. I am busy at work sorry!

Forgot to mention an important thing:

After confirming with a friend the description for the link skills seem to state that YOU are the one initiating an elemental attack and that your teammates are the ones doing the follow up. Haven't tested yet sorry!
Does it mean you HAVE TO already have your weapon inbued with an element through the use of elemental oils/skills? Or can you create it from scratch? I don't know, need testing.

Also about the stab and slash thing. I think it's about what type of damage you do and is unrelated to your weapon type.
(I suppose some monsters have higher defence to one type, also for special items dropping purposes...)

...I just thought that the kanji 空 was used in some heavenly meaning.
However I just remembered about the balloon part of the game (of which I know nothing about yet)

Maybe it is only usable for the Balloon part of the game...
It states something about cooking food allowing you to gain strength.

As usual, needs testing.


Edit: Stupid me, here's the japanese wiki

So I'm guessing the Swordsman can go first and then make the party gang up on things before they know what hit them.

So is it like the Shogun skill except the swordsman doesn't sacrifice its turn?

Okay I've finished the demo now.

So basically the Link skills are pretty cool and do have some potential.

You don't need to have an imbued weapon, your attack will be elemental.

The flow goes as follows:
You attack with a Link skill (Fire/Ice/Thunder)
>>> A link is placed on the enemy

After that, ANY attack (skills or basic attacks) will trigger an additional elemental hit. (According to your Link level of course.)

Obviously if you use the Vanguard skill, you will always act first.
A full Link build sounds like a great elemental team set up.
They really did make the Swordsmen an attractive class.
