Demo Guide to Kailasa

[Endoperez]

Besides, +3 att/def +4 def works pretty well together, especially as Kailasa's sacreds have multiple attacks and everyone except Gandharvas have high base defense. Even Gandharvas can evade some attacks after both boosts.

Any way, I'd like more discussion about the fact that bless and quickness don't stack. I and Hadrian both tested it, and water bless and Celestial Music don't stack. If no one has actualyl benefitted from stacking different kinds of quicknesses, we'll have to bump some recent question threads and start the re-education.

Tested with W9 and Marverni Boar Warriors.


Initial stats (not blessed):

Basic Action Points 12, Current Action Points 10


Blessed:

Defense+4


Blessed and Quickness (spell):

Basic Action Points 12, Current Action Points 20

Endo, you are right, there is no stacking of AP bonus from Bless and Quickness spell.

To see equipment effects, I tested with Bune the Sacred Ice Devil:

Initial Stats:

Basic Action Points 14, Current Action Points 14


Wearing Jade Armor:

Basic Action Points 14, Current Action Points 20
Defense+3, Attack+3


Wearing Jade Armor and Blessed:

Basic Action Points 14, Current Action Points 20
Defense+7, Attack+3


Wearing Jade Armor and Blessed and Quickness spell:

Impossible, refuses to cast Quickness while wearing Jade Armor.


Conclusion: As Endo found, the only stacking that you get from a W9 bless and any other kind of quickness is an additional +4 defense from the bless, in addition to all the quickness bonuses from the spell.

Special note: Quickness does stack with Cold Power. So instead of +1 AP for a cold-1 scale, you get +2 AP if quickness is in effect.
