Status Effects
Some enemies launch status-effect attacks that affect the “status”
of your character. You, in turn, can also affect the status of enemies
by purchasing runes for your weapons and armor.
Some status effects can be benefi cial. For example, you can collect
items (such as panaceas) that provide immunity to harmful status
effects (such as Poison) or allow you to “boost” the skills of your
companions.
A black-and-white version of a status-effect icon indicates
that you are temporarily immune to that type of effect.
Note: The duration of a status effect depends on how much
Essence the caster has. The more Essence, the longer the status
effect lasts and the more damage or benefi cial magic it bestows.
Character Advancement
Each character in Sudeki starts out with base-level stats.
As you make your way through the game, you’ll gain
Experience Points (XP) by killing monsters, fi nishing
quests, and solving puzzles. When you earn enough
XP to “level up” (attain the next level) you’ll also gain Advancement
Points (AP). You can advance your character by spending these
AP on attributes and skills on the
Advancements menu. The
amount of XP a character needs to attain the next level is shown on
the
Main menu.
Note:
Be sure to check the
Options
bar at the bottom
of the
Main
menu when you level up. When you earn
new items, a green plus sign appears next to the
category icon.
Attributes
Ideally, you’ll want all the characters to achieve a balance of the
following attributes (which also appear on the
Main menu, next
to the character):
• Health is measured in Hit Points (HP) and enables you to
withstand more damage. You can earn more health for your
characters by buying attributes on the
Advancements menu.
• Skill is measured in Skill Points (SP) and provides more Skill
Strikes for your character to cast (see page 26 for more info).
Spending AP on skills increases the amount of SP that your
character has. Casting Skill Strikes costs SP; resting at inns or
using potions restores SP.
• Power increases your character’s melee and ranged attacks.
• Essence boosts the duration and damage of your character’s Skill
Strikes, increases the strength of creatures they summon, and
increases the amount of healing they can perform.
