Gears

Note: Chu-Chu has only 1 Giant skill, which is Forest Dance (recovers some gear HP) and Siebzehn has no skills.

About Omnigears: All gears (except for Chu-Chu, Crescens, Siebzehn, and Vierge) will get an Omnigear (a stronger version of the original gear) at a certain point in the game, but the only actual difference is in terms of equipment and some extra options in Weltall-2's case, which is not an Omnigear, but an upgrade over Weltall (Xenogears is Fei's "Omnigear"). You can still use the same equipment and skills.

Weltall Weltall is a fast, overall strong gear and casts some powerful Chi attacks (you'll usually prefer Vierge or Crescens, but there are some cases where Weltall may be your only option). You don't have much of an option about using him or not, so get used to Weltall. Origin: Unknown Pilot: Fei Height: 15.811 meters Weight: 19.244 tons Weapon: Installed Chain Gun Battery Life: 8.27 hrs Frame Durability: 260 Reaction Time: 0.8 Ether Induction: 43.5 Speed (Ground): 252.2 km/h Speed (Air): 940 km/h Sub-generator Torque: 400 km/h Generator Coefficient: 4.2 km/h Weltall's Skills Name EP Cost Effect Learned Guided Shot 2 Chi Wave Attack Level 1 Inner Healing 2 Recover Gear's Defense Level 10 Yang Power 5 Raises Gear's Defense, Lower Gear's Attack Level 46 Yin Power 5 Raises Gear's Attack, Lowers Gear's Defense Level 46 Radiance 10 Space Chi Attack Level 55 Big Bang 20 Powerful Space Chi Attack Level 72 Weltall-2's Special Options Name Fuel Cost Effect Flaming Hell 1000 Fire Damage to all enemies System ID 1000 Enables Hyper-Mode Thor Wave 600 Non-elemental damage to one enemy Vierge Vierge is surprisingly fast in comparison to Elly, and works really well against groups of enemies (whether by using Aerods or casting Ethers). Vierge lacks strength and HP, though. Also, many of Vierge's Rods cast elemental or status damage, so make sure to try all of them. Origin: Solaris Pilot: Elly Height: 15.229 meters Weight: 11.016 tons Weapon: Installed Vulcan Gun, Rods, Guidance Bits Battery Life: 10.333 hrs Frame Durability: 220 Reaction Time: 1.0 Ether Induction: 60 Speed (Ground): 271.6 km/h Speed (Air): 824.5 km/h Sub-generator Torque: 410 km/h Generator Coefficient: 3.4 km/h Vierge's Skills Name EP Cost Effect Learned Anemo Bolt 2 Lighting, Wind Attack Level 4 or less Terra Lance 2 Earth Wave Attack Level 4 or less Thermo Cube 2 Fire Shroud Attack Level 4 or less Aqua Ice 2 Flash Freeze, Water Attack Level 4 or less Anemo Burn 6 High Voltage, Wind Attack (area) Level 20 Thermo Dragon 6 Incinerating Fire Attack (area) Level 20 Terra Storm 6 Landslide, Earth Attack (area) Level 20 Aqua Mist 6 Vast Freeze, Water Attack (area) Level 20 Anemo Wave 10 Plasma Flash, Wind Attack (all) Level 55 Thermo Largo 10 Detonating Fire Attack (all) Level 55 Terra Ghost 10 Burying Earth Attack (all) Level 55 Aqua Lord 10 Avalanche, Water Attack (all) Level 55 Vierge's Special Options Name Fuel Cost Effect Aerods 400 Ether Attack to specific area Heimdal Heimdal is quite similar to Citan: fast (not so fast compared to other gears, but still quite good) and strong (especially after you equip it with a sword). Casts basically the same support Ethers Citan does. Origin: Underground Escavations Pilot: Citan Height: 16.393 meters Weight: 19.548 tons Weapon: Installed Vulcan Gun Battery Life: 8.611 hrs Frame Durability: 230 Reaction Time: ?

You'll notice quite an improvement in its Omnigear. Origin: Aveh Pilot: Bart Height: 16.393 meters Weight: 15.012 tons Weapon: Installed Chain Gun, Heat Rod Battery Life: 7.061 hrs Frame Durability: 270 Reaction Time: 1.1 Ether Induction: 40.4 Speed (Ground): 339.5 km/h Speed (Air): 768.24 km/h Sub-generator Torque: 370 km/h Generator Coefficient: 4.1 km/h Brigandier's Skills Name EP Cost Effect Learned Wild Smile 2 Lowers Enemy's Acceleration Level 13 or less Heaven Cent 2 Launch Disc Attack Level 18 Wind Mode 4 Adds wind element to attacks Level 56 Fire Mode 4 Adds fire element to attacks Level 56 Earth Mode 4 Adds earth element to attacks Level 56 Water Mode 4 Adds water element to attacks Level 56 Brigandier's Special Options Name Fuel Cost Effect Ygg D. Charge 600 Ether attack to one enemy Stier Very strong, has high defense, but it's slow and has a low hit rate (his high-damage attacks usually compensate for his slowness). Has only one offensive Ether. Origin: Nocturne Pilot: Rico Height: 18.43 meters Weight: 22.464 tons Weapon: Installed Vulcan Gun, Machine Cannon, Phalanx System Battery Life: 5.855 hrs Frame Durability: 335 Reaction Time: 1.8 Ether Induction: 29.3 Speed (Ground): 213.4 km/h Speed (Air): 645.05 km/h Sub-generator Torque: 520 km/h Generator Coefficient: 4.0 km/h Gear Special Options: None Stier's Skills Name EP Cost Effect Learned Steel Mettle 4 Rapid Ether Shot Attack Level 60 Renmazuo An average gear, except for the fact that it has a high hit rate and can use Ether Bullets with the Square button, making battles against monsters weak vs. Ether a sinch. His defensive Ethers aren't nearly as useful as Billy's, though. Has some useful extra options. Origin: Solaris and Etone Pilot: Billy Height: 15.423 meters Weight: 12.528 tons Weapon: Installed Vulcan Gun, Arm Gun, Hand Gun Battery Life: 7.595 hrs Frame Durability: 240 Reaction Time: 1.02 Ether Induction: 50.9 Speed (Ground): 312.34 km/h Speed (Air): 814.8 km/h Sub-generator Torque: 400 km/h Generator Coefficient: 3.7 km/h Renmazuo's Skills Name EP Cost Effect Learned Healing Light 2 Recover Gear's Defense Level 43 or less Holy Light 4 Recover Gear's Defenses (all) Level 43 or less Wind Shield 4 Protects against Earth Level 55 Earth Shield 4 Protects against Wind Level 55 Fire Shield 4 Protects against Water Level 55 Water Shield 4 Protects against Fire Level 55 Renmazuo's Special Options Name Fuel Cost Effect Jessie Cannon 500 Non-elemental damage to specific area Jessie Blasta 1000 Non-elemental damage to specific area Siebzehn The only reason Maria joined your party. Basically the same advantages and disadvantages of Stier, except that this one's so powerful that it doesn't even need an Omnigear. Has some powerful special options, too.

Cannon 1000 Ether Attack to all enemies Crescens The quickest gear, casts some powerful Ethers (almost as good as Vierge's), but has a very low HP (luckily, it's a very agile gear, dodging many attacks).

Her skill that heals gear's HP isn't that helpful later in the game, but if you give her lots of drives (mainly HP and STR drives), her giant form will proportially increase her HP and Strength reaching a whopping 49950 HP! Also, it's a given that not having fuel to waste can be quite an advantage, too. (c)2006 RPGClassics.com. All materials are copyrighted by their respective authors.
