Thanks! .============================. | Frequently Asked Questions | '============================' Q: How do I trigger a certain surge? A: Except for the special ones, which I've noted, you can't. Surges are triggered randomly as you use skills. Q: The surge I want doesn't ever show up? A: See above. Don't use any surge, just keep using skills until the one you want is triggered. Or you can use certain skills like Monk's Chakra or the Oracle item to re-roll the whole list of surges. Q: Why doesn't Encase show up when fighting eidolons? A: Don't take any monsters with you. Whenever they're in the 5% range, just use buffs over and over until you trigger the Encase surge. .=============================================================================. | Name & Duration | Effect | Mutations | |=============================================================================| | 1,000 Needle Mode | Channel weird cactuar power to | Critical Power Up | | | deal exactly 1,000 damage per | | | 20s | hit (10,000 for criticals). | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Agony | Vitalize local energies to | P-Defense Down | | | increase all damage, including | M-Defense Down | | 40s | poison and burning damage. | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Angel's Litany | Muster crystal power, causing | Float | | | you FLOAT and ensuring you | Reraise | | 20s | retain 1 HP after a lethal blow. | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Burst of Resonance | Catalyze crystal energies to | Resonance Boost | | | accumulate Resonance more | Resonance Factor | | | quickly and increase its | | | 40s | effects. | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bypass Buffs | Use powerful magical chaff to | Remove Ailments | | | nullify and prevent further | Remove Buffs | | 30s | status effects and stat changes. | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | CC: Yielding Sands | Supercharge the MIRAH DUNES with | | | | crystal energy to reveal a new | | | | area in the spiral of sand. | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Combo Boost | Unlocks combos.
