Thread: Guide to all things Awakening

Thanks. I was pretty sure that was the case but wanted to make sure.

I was looking at SAW of Marr on japanese wikia - after first use it changes to her normal skill?

Indeed it seems so.

Considering Sybilla's AW makes her skill use attacks ranged, is there any real reason to AW her skill? Attack multiplier goes up slightly but you lose the instant kill chance (not really the point though it's nice when it proc's). not sure what her range is without Skill AW, but at the very least it seems there are skills that are clearly better than non-AW (like Marr, Gellius, Olivie, Aisha and Berna, Farne, etc. among others)

you mean besides the fact that she hits like a truck at range with magic attacks that aren't reduced in power (like a magic fencer's ranged attack is) ?


just noticed how her sword is named. Fragarach or The answerer appeared in both Baldur's gate 2(tob) and in temple of elemental evil. In both it was a +4 enchanted long sword (i think it was a bastard sword in ToEV if my memory serves me right)

that makes her more awsome from the start

Just by Awakening, Sybilla gains range 200 x1.5 powered magic slash on skill (that can instakill). Skill Awakening trades the instakill portion (and 5 seconds more in skill cooldown) for 280 range and x1.7 multiplier.

Dunno, I think she's good as she is, with less need to prioritize SAW. Better spend the resources on clear upgrades first.

clear upgrades ? That doesn't look like a clear upgrade ?


Let's take nanaly far example , since her skill is one of the more visible. She gets 5 arrows instead of 4. That means that her skill awakening gives her extra 25% damage over her regular skill.

Now we have sybilla with 70% instead of 50% to damage during skill duration. That's a 40% increase in damage efficiency over her regular skill

Also 280 range is literally an extra archer....that will hit over 1.5k with magic damage. Hell , a normal archer has 260 range if i recall , so she gets more range then that. The only archers that outrange her are spica during skill , soma during skill , nanaly after awakening (by 10 range) and stray i think , since he gains like 60 god damn range after awakening.

Edit : forgot lauren during skill
