Great Axe Flash is a D rank row attack that grants Hawke a very large Morale Up for 5 turns and then chases with an SS-rank row attack. That's a pretty strong mix of damage boost abilities before we even get to his skills.įor farming, you're probably going to be using Hawke's S3, Great Axe Flash. Hawke has 55% damage boosts from always-on abilities and will stack a medium STR buff on himself every turn. (The only character I'm aware of off the top of my head that does better than that is GLEX Darque, who is hitting himself with massive recoil to do so.) That outperforms almost any character that isn't wielding multihits, even for single-target encounters. So in a battle that goes more than 3 turns, he just repeats that attack pattern indefinitely: SSS -> charge -> SSSS. What makes this interesting is that he gets +1 BP per turn, meaning that he gets back to 12 BP once he's done charging and unleashing the charge attack. And of course, they're Row, so if you have a 3-round stage that's all Row, Gray has a good chance of handling two of those rounds himself. Neither attack is at the bottom of their rank in terms of power, either, so they'll both deal solid damage, even with Gray's damage modifiers being on the low end for a damage dealer. Ice Flower is another slash/cold Row attack, this time at SSSS rank. He spends his next turn charging, and then the turn after that he unleashes his charge attack: Elegant Ice Flower. It's an SSS slash/cold Row attack, with priority that makes him enter a Charge stance. And he's got High Protect Tension, so you can bring him to boss battles without worrying that he'll fold like a piece of origami paper.Īs far as damage potential, however, that's all wrapped up in his S3 - Iai: Frost Flash. But he shares 15% of that with anyone else in the party who wields a G.

So Gray's damage modifiers are not actually that impressive for an attacker.
