Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)
So if I get this right you can raise a skill from say Rank 1 to Rank 2 with class evolution, and to upgrade a skill's LEVEL you need to combine people who have the same rank of skill (Rank 2 with rank 2, rank 3 of rank 3) yes?
Yes, to raise the level of a skill, you have to combine it with the exact same skill. For example, raising the level of Increase Attack I requires combining with another unit with Increase Attack I, raising Excellent Arrow requires using another unit with Excellent Arrow, or raising Mind's Eye requires using another unit with Mind's Eye. However, there are also Rainbow Fairies that can raise the level of any skill, but it is typically best to save those for rare units with unique skills.
So, what I'm not sure about is the maximum rank of sill a character can achieve. Can each character only raise their rank of skill once during their class change? So a silver with rank 1 can only get get to rank 2? Or is there potentially a way to get anyone to max skill rank?
Thanks for the help...
As for the skill changing during class evolution (CC), that depends on the unit. Most Silvers do not change skill during CC, in fact only one Silver unit changes their skill during CC, the Blue Dragon Gadoras.
Additionally, units with unique skills do not change skills when they are CCed, so most event units will not change their skill if they can CC. So, for Gold+ rarity units, you'd have to check the units on an individual basis to see if their skill will change during CC, and if their skill does change, it will only change that one time. For example, Platinum Rogue Cypria has Assassinate II before and after CC, but Platinum Valkyrie Dahlia changes skill from Risk Life II to Risk Life III when she is CCed.
Finally, if a unit's skill changes when they are CCed DO NOT waste resources (i.e. units that aren't the same unit*) leveling their skill as the skill level will be reset when it changes. So, using Dahlia as an example again, if her Risk Life II is leveled to 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, or even 5/5 before CC, it will still be Risk Life III 1/5 when she is CCed.
*If you combine the same unit you can reduce the cost of a unit so it isn't a waste overall if their cost is reduced, but it is a complete waste if you use a different unit with the same skill pre-CC in a unit that changes skill upon CC. While it would be more beneficial to combine a skill changed CC with a skill changed CC, this is costly in terms of Silvers, especially with Platinum and Black rarity units. So, it comes down to how many resources you're willing to invest in improving the unit.
Hope this answers all of your questions.
