Chains of Pasifika

That woud be light skillchains, of course, preferably ones that involve Hexa Strike. :D Other skillchains burstable with Banish will do, too. ^^

As it happened, a linkshell friend needed a hexastriker for light skillchains the other day. That's one of Pasifika's more useful specialties! :D That means another chapter of the adventures of Pasifika~

Act I:

The stage of this scene: The deceptively beautiful Boyahda Tree. (Deceptive because the black mandragoras up there don't play nice, but that's another story.)

Male lead: Xenon, the seasoned blue mage / stealthy ninja

Female lead: Pasifika, the hammer-wielding white mage / hammers dual-wielding ninja

Support roles: Robber Crab, Moss Eater, Knight Crawler, Old Goobbue
Cameo appearance (no fighting scenes): Mourioche

The pair ventured deep into the Boyahda Tree. Each foe was only good for one skillchain, but luckily the tree was teeming with unsuspecting wildlife. Originally the pair only targeted crabs, but bunnies and crawlies got their share after a while. Here's an almost blow-by-blow explanation of how this thing worked:

First the Hexa Strike. :D
Six beautiful, shiny hits, and an extra one from dual wield.
Then the Savage Blade.
It starts with a jump that could put some dragoons to shame...
...followed by a shiny landing...
...that only gets shinier, and do you see that?
Is is..? Could it be..? The beginning....
..of a light skillchain. :D
Shi~~ny~~ *_*


Act II:
The stage of this scene: The ever-mysterious Sanctuary of Zi'Tah

Female lead: Linathra, the dashing dragoon / mighty mage

Wyvern lead: Azure

Support roles: Pasifika, the light staff wielding white mage / slow-to-cast-Sleep black mage
Goobbue Parasite, Myxomycete
Hindering roles: Goblin Trader, Goblin Robber

Magic bursts were not really an option when doing weaponskill points, but there was a better chance for those later when Lina invited Pasifika to do some Fields of Valor training. Equipped with a staff instead of her trusty warhammer, Pasifika was able to do Transfixion with Starburst -> Double Thrust - and magic burst with Holy or Banish II. :D Staff skill ups were a nice bonus. ^^
