The basic stats is fixed for each character Lv.

  • Automatic PP recovery amount is 10 PP/sec. Exactly 2 times greater than the player's original recovery (5 PP/sec).
  • All attacks refers to Melee Power. Ranged and Technique Power are irrelevant.
  • The defense stats is low, and is lower than normally having no equipment on the character. In particular, Apprentice has even lower stats for Melee Defense.
  • This Form has excellent movement and attack speed. In addition, the Form is capable of summoning two types of Darksects to help assist in fights.
    • Like Summoner's Pets, the summoned Darksects can be easily identified from a white line extending out of the Form.
  • By learning skills, the Form can heal from all forms of attacks, but the actual healing per hit is low. Due to somewhat lower HP and defenses, it is recommended to avoid reckless fighting.
