Combos and Abilities

These are the attacks that become combos and allow clinchers to be triggered. Each Einherjar can have up to 3 attacks per turn, and each of those differ from attack to attack, and character to character. The attacks are ordered from least energy points to greatest, which are not the default attack order...it makes no difference anyways since they can be changed around.

Note- I left comments after the clinchers. The clinchers that are best used last, I noted. Those that are flexible, and have 25-40 energy (Lawfer, Lucian, etc), can be used first or last, depending on your desired clincher method. In that case, I said something like this : "Accomodate his energy into your clincher order accordingly." This is because if they attack first, they will easily charge up the combo meter with their mid to low energy. Though, these characters can be used last as well, because they can easily fail to charge up the combo meter, depending on who attacks before them, how fast you are, etc. The energy numbers and your active Einherjar should be taken into consideration, and this determines whether you will be able to pull off another clincher, next turn. Choose your order wisely.

Purify Weird Soul: It shall be engraved upon your soul! Divine assault... Nibelung Valesti!

Lenneth has three versions, and the damage will depend on the type of sword equipped:

Each attack adds in an extra, strong hit. As you can see, Nibelung 3 is her best attack. Few swords will let her use it, however. Check the weapons section to see which weapon enables her to perform whatever version of Nibelung Valesti.

Despite her crappy enery/hit number, Freya hits as one of the most strongest in the game. Because of those reasons, use her clincher LAST unless you are extremely fast. I mean it.

Jelanda's specific clincher depends on the attack spell she has equipped or used. Your weakest mage, possibly.

Wait Reaction can be used when you are waiting for CT to lower. It's a good attack to be used when you just can't get those last energy points to charge.

This is one of the strongest clincher's in the game next to Aelia's and Freya's. The single hit sometimes, does not do a lot, but the fall back to the ground is very damaging.

One of the best clinchers's if you've got a really good spear equipped like the Crimson Edge. Lawfer's attacks can build up the combo meter really well but his finisher doesn't really do that...so use his last, or first.

As you can see, she's not a great combo builder in her clincher AND attacks. However her clicher is one of the most powerful in the game, (accomodate her energy into your clincher order accordingly) so stick her with someone who has good energy.

Grey's clincher is a bit weak compared to most others, but since his energy is so high and his CT so low, you can use it a lot. His clincher should be used maybe second or third.
