    A Further Guide to Thunderdome
    ABILITIES & ITEMS

    So now you know how the basics of Thunderdome go, but the whole thing would be rather boring and dull indeed if you were just chancing it on stats, right? Yes. I agree. So, to make things more exciting, and to encourage competition, each character has a unique ability that can be found in this thread. Make note of your characters ability. As well as abilities, there will be daily challenges happening in order for you to obtain equipable items that you can take with you to the Thunderdome.To show you how this will all work, I will once again set up an example.

    In the Thunderdome, you will have no access to your opponents stats, it's all guesswork and strategy based on how you use your abilities and gained items.

    HERE WE GO!


    ULTIMECIA
    Ability
    Time Kompression - Undo the effects of the last move, but the stat remains frozen.Items Equipped
    DEF+
    Hi Potion
    Glue



    SEIFER
    Ability

    Knight - Can half a single available stat to incur that damage to the opponent.Items Equipped
    STR+
    Astral Skin
    Hi Potion
    Before we begin, let's discuss the items. First of all, items highlighted in red are STAT BOOSTS. They do not require a turn to be used, and in this case give the stat a boost of 20 points.

    Items in green are CONSUMABLE items and they require a turn to use.

    Items in blue are ENVIRONMENTAL and apply a status effect to the opponent.

    So, as you can see, it is well worth your while as a team to stock up your inventory with items!

    NOW! ABILITIES!
    Abilities can be used only once in the Thunderdome, so it's best to strategise as to whether you should use it straight away or save it. Many abilities have a cost, so be sure you are doing what is in your best interest when you use it. So, we'll fight now shall we?

    Let's check what the stats are when we take into consideration the items being held!

    Ultimecia's defense is raised by 20 points.
    Seifer's strength is raised by 20 pointsLet's look at their stats now!

    Ultimecia
    STR - 60
    DEF - 80
    MAG - 120
    MAGD - 120
    SPD - 40

    Seifer
    STR - 140
    DEF - 100
    MAG - 50
    MAGD - 50
    SPD - 40


    Ultimecia's 'GLUE' environment lowers Seifer's speed by 40 points (ouch), so that's why his speed has dropped also!


    You following? Good! We're going to battle next!
