ok ive tried thunder slash over 107 times ( i tallied on a peice of paper =.=) and it only hits enemies from the begining of the game about 1/5 of the time and nothing from anywhere past brumecia, and when i hit, it only does around 100 damage. i never had a status effect, steiner was at lvl 58-64, i had accuracy+ on, and i had ragnarok on

whats the deal with thunder slash?

dont know. i never ended up using it, even though i mastered it. imo, the only special attacks worth spending the mp on is shock. maybe a flare or doomsday sword if i used vivi.

Well, according to FFOnline it has a 0% hit rate. I've heard of it working before but only against specific monsters, and I can't remember which monsters they were.

"Thunder Slash


24MP/30AP
Acquire from Defender, Ragnarok.
Damages the target equal to 19% of it's Max HP with a lightning-elemental attack. (0% Success Rate.)"

...sounds pretty useless to me, even if it did work.

I haven't played FFIX in a while but I distinctly remember Thunder Slash dealing badass damage at all times and never missing. It was the main ability I used with Steiner before I got to better stuff like Shock.

So that's pretty strange.

not sure. maybe you had a special something equiped, who knows. i never had to use it. the earlier stages of the game, i was forced to use magic sword and nothing else. maybe an iai strike here and there. thats about it. when you had a good party without vivi, i used shock all the time.

I've never seen Steiner's Thunder Slash work any time I've tried it. It always misses for me.

everyone that saw it hit everytime might be thinking of beatrix's thunder slash, cuz that will never miss
