![]() ![]() In a game where the best attacks often require other characters’ actions to maximize damage, Petal Storm is surprisingly easy to pull off.The skill Petal Storm is greyed out by default, but it has a chance of becoming available after most of Sienna’s other attacks. ![]() Similar to how her high chance to perform a critical attack increases her average damage, Petal Storm requires a bit of luck to come into effect but always pays off in the end. Petal Storm is a unique skill that defines the fighting style of Sienna. Some monsters also drop unique loot when pilfered, though this is usually indicated when using the skill itself. This means that sacrificing Sienna’s turn by using Pilfer can double the number of items gained each fight and halve the time spent farming. This is usually an upgrade material or a "loot" object, often the same kind of item that the monster drops when killed. Pilfer allows players to steal an item from an enemy. To avoid this uncomfortable situation, players would do well to use Pilfer during every battle that errs on the easier side. What might make players want to farm some common, easy monsters is the upgrade system and the general lack of crafting materials. ![]() Having done away with traditional leveling systems and XP, Unchained Echoes doesn’t require players to grind in the traditional sense. As a rule of thumb, players should unlock all the available active skills first before moving on to the less impactful passive skills. Each of those allows every character to unlock one skill. Far more important are the Grimoire Shards found when defeating bosses. ![]() Each has only three levels, and the difference between each level is often negligible. Instead of gaining experience points to level up their heroes, players will collect experience directly into their skills. But for all that Chained Echoes takes from its predecessors, its skills and level-up systems are almost entirely original. From the Tech Points of Chrono Trigger to the Magitek armors of Final Fantasy VI, JRPG fans will recognize much of what’s on offer here. From Lenna's elemental spells to Sienna's Petal Storm, Chained Echoes has some very unique skills.Ĭhained Echoes is a throwback to the 16-bit JRPGs of the SNES and Sega Genesis days, and as far as throwbacks go, this one isn’t worried about wearing its influences on its sleeve. ![]()
