Character Stats & Techs: Daniel Sage
Daniel's play mechanics, while in depth, are simple in practical use. The "Sword Stance" you choose for him, which can be changed in the menu or mid-battle, determines which of his stats are altered in combat as well as how he controls.
- Ichigeki: His "Power" stlye. Daniel's accuracy and agility are lowered in favor of offense and defense. Decent for muscling through enemies' defenses, but hits don't connect as often as one thinks they should. Critical hits occur on a greater percentage of the hits that connect. Should Daniel land a critical, if his weapon has an ether attribute attached the element will be triggered.
- Ranbu: Daniel's "Speed" style. At the cost of his attack power, Daniel's acuracy and agility are increased allowing for shorter intervals between command turns. Also, his attacks are executed similarly to Legend of Dragoon's Addition system.
- Sage: The third and final Sword Stance that Daniel can utilize. Unlike the others, Daniel must complete an major sidequest before obtaining the know how to accomplish this final stance. Under this Stance, Daniel's attack power and defense are lowered in favor of his intellegence and ether defense. As an added equalizer, Daniel also operates under the Ranbu attack controls and has acccess to hidden Excel Techniques based on the sword he's using at the time of the attack.
Daniel obtains weapon experience(WExp.) for each successful Critical(Ichigeki) or Combo(Ranbu) attack landed. As he gains more WExp, his Sword Rank will increase. The higher his rank, the more Excel Techniques he will have access to.
