=======================================================================
Boost:
Boost:
-----
Without equipping the Boost ability, Eidolons MAY or MAY NOT appear
randomly during summon. However, Eidolons will definitely appear
during the FIRST time you summon them.
By equipping the Boost ability, you will be able to make Eidolons
appear each time you summon. The full animation that shows Eidolons
causes more damage to enemies than the one with partial animation
without showing Eidolons for the SAME summon. Note that Dagger and
Eiko can learn the Boost ability from Pumice Piece.
____________________
/My Personal Thought:\
/______________________\___________________________________________
|Many people complain that the Guardian Forces animation in Final |
|Fantasy VIII were way too long. They said that they were SICK of |
|watching the same summons over and over again. But, do they REALLY |
|know that the animation has to be LONG so as to let you have time |
|to TAP the Square button to BOOST your Guardian Force? Now, Square |
|listens to gamers. We now have the full animation and partial |
|animation but... Don't you guys feel that it's WIERD to see a |
|partial animation? Out of nowhere, just comes an explosion without |
|even seeing the Eidolons. I just feel rather uncomfortable seeing |
|the partial animation. I would RATHER TAP the Square button to |
|see the full animation than watching a partial animation. Maybe, |
|it's ONLY ME who enjoys tapping the Square button. I REALLY don't |
|know. It's just my opinion. Maybe, I'm one of those who enjoys |
|Final Fantasy VIII thoroughly. |
|___________________________________________________________________|
Atomos Summon:
-------------
The Atomos summon works like a demi, damaging a certain percentage
of the enemies' HP. How much attack percentage it causes, will be
determined by two factors:
a)Full animation or Partial animation.
b)No of Amethyst you have in your inventory.
The formula to calculate the amount of HP it can caused is by:
a)[Full Animation] = [30 + No of Amethyst]% of enemy's HP.
b)[Partial Animation] = 2/3 of [Full Animation]

Odin Summon:
-----------
The Odin summon has a certain percentage chance to cause an instant
death to enemies. However, if Odin fails to cause an instant death
to the enemies, no damage will be inflicted on them. To prevent this
from happening, you have to equip the Odin Sword ability. In case,
Odin fails to cause instant death, this will cause wind damage to all
enemies. My advice is equip ONLY the Odin Sword ability if you are
sure that you are going to let Dagger to use an Odin summon. If not,
don't bother to equip Odin Sword ability. Use other summons instead.
The formula to calculate this percentage chance is:
Perchange Chance = [Dagger's Magic Power/4 + difference between
Dagger's level and monsters' level]%
a)To learn Odin summon, purchase the Dark Matter item from the Treno
Auction house.
b)To learn Odin Sword ability, you must find Ancient Aroma in Ipsen's
Castle. Go to the room with the Odin's electrified sword chained
to the black wall. There are two flower vases and three shelves.
Notice that you can move the two flower vases from shelf to shelf?
Rearrange the vases from shelf to shelf in anticlockwise manner,
starting from the top right one. When you have done so, you notice
that electrical energies will fill a vase. Check this vase out
to recieve Ancient Aroma.

Carbuncle/Fenrir's New Skills:
-----------------------------
Depending on what Add-on gem you let Eiko equipped, this might affect
the effect of the Carbuncle or Fenrir's summons. Below is a list of
how certain Add-on gem can affect the Carbuncle and Fenrir summons.

Phoenix Summon:
--------------
Phoenix summon has the ability to cause Fire damage to all enemies
as well as reviving all K.O characters. But, do you know that there's
a chance that Phoenix Summon will appear and revive the party if
everyone gets K.O? This percentage chance is determined by the number
of Phoenix Pinion in your inventory. The formula for this percentage
chance to occur is given by:
Percentage Chance = [No of Phoenix Pinion/256]%

Other Summons:
-------------
The attack power of certain summons will increase, depending on the
type and number of Add-on jems in your inventory. The more Add-on
gems you have, the more powerful a particular summon is. Never sell
these gems away. Anyway, even if you sell these gems away, you can
only get 1 gil for each gem sold, which is really not worthwhile
doing so. Below shows the link between certain Add-on gems with
the Eidolons:
___________________________
|Eidolon(s) |Add-on Gem | For example, the attack power of
|_____________|_____________| Shiva increases if you have more
|Shiva |Opal | Opal in your inventory. Ifrit's
|_____________|_____________| attack power increases if you have
|Ifrit |Topaz | more Topaz and so on and so forth.
|_____________|_____________|
|Ramuh |Peridot | The number and type of Add-on gems
|_____________|_____________| is one factor that affects the attack
|Leviathan |Aquamarine | power of these Eidolons. Besides this,
|_____________|_____________| the full animation or partial animation
|Bahamut |Garnet | is another factor that affects the
|_____________|_____________| attack power of these Eidolons.
=======================================================================
II)Action Ability
=======================================================================
By performing certain 'tasks', the strength of certain action
abilities can be increased. Such 'tasks' take time and consistency.
Thievery
--------
--------
Zidane's Thievery attack actually becomes more powerful as Zidane
keeps stealing. The more times Zidane steal, more damage Thievery
causes. Eventually, Zidane's Thievery can cause up to 9999 HP of
damage.
Dragon's Crest
--------------
Freya's Dragon Crest attack actually becomes more powerful as the
party keeps defeating dragons. The more dragons the party kills,
the more damage Dragon Crest causes. One good way is to let Quina
learn the Lv5 Death, which will kill Grand Dragon instantly. Quina
can learn this Lv5 Death by eating a Whale Zombie on the south
shore of the Lost Continent. Eventually, Freya's Dragon Crest can
cause up to 9999 HP of damage.
Frog Drop
---------
Frog Drop is a blue magic that Quina can learn by eating the Gigan
Toad. Quina's Frog Drop attack actually becomes more powerful as
Quina catches more frogs in the Qu's Marsh and when Quina's level
increases. Frog Drop has a 100% success rate and the formula to
calculate the damage caused is:
Quina level x amount of Frog(s) = HP damage
For example, if Quina is at level 70 and he has caught 100 frogs,
the damage that Frog Drop will cause is 70 x 100 = 7000 HP damage.

III)Dealing With Undead Monsters
=======================================================================
Final Fantasy veterans may remember this while newbies to Final
Fantasy may most likely do not know this. In fact, this technique
applies to some other RPGs, other than Final Fantasy.
When fighting against undead monsters, use magics like cure, cura and
maybe, curaga on them. Don't worry! It will not heal them, instead
It will not heal them, instead
do tremendous damage on them. If you cast life on these undead
monsters, you will kill them instantly.
AAlso, when in zombis status, your character turns darker colour.
Never use any healing items and magic as it WILL also CAUSE damage
to them, and maybe even killing them instantly. Instead, use a Magic
Tag to remove the zombie status.
An example of an area where you can find a lot of undead monsters
are Iifa Tree. Enemies like Myconid Zombie, Dracozombie etc are
some examples.
