Beloved's Skill Selection
Well, after replaying Neoquest 1 a number of times to try and find out which skills are good, I FINALLY came up with a guide for you, and just for you. Why? Because you're special =P Ok, as you already know, when you start NQ1, you are given 7 skill points to spend freely, unlike NQ2 (sadly), so here are my suggestions for your skills:Fire Magic: Not a really good skill choice in my opinion. Does some damage, though not much. Not worth wasting skill points on.
Fire Weapons: A tiny amount of damage, not good.
Firepower: What's the difference with this and Fire Weapons?
Fireball: Wasting a turn, a casting attack.
Wall of Flame: Not really a bad skill; it hits your opponent when they have hit you. But just to get this skill after all of those worthless ones? I think not.
Ice Magic: Same as Fire Magic, apart from the fact that it's Ice (duh) and more resisted by monsters & bosses.
Ice Weapons: No different from Fire Weapons.
Heart of Ice: On the skill description, it says it freezes your opponent. But really, it has, since the first day of NQ1, never worked for me.
Snowball: Casting attack, waste, waste, waste.
Glacier Strike: Casting attack, does loads of damage. It would be extremely good if it didn't get resisted and take 2 rounds to cast. An excuse for using a potions though xD.
Shock Magic: Considered widely to be a really good magic skill to have, no points wasted here =P
Shock Weapons: Stuns your opponent for a round or so, and not a waste of points since it's a lot better than Fire/ Ice.
Disable: Does a few points of damage occasionally, but mainly lowers your opponents defense, making them weaker. Nice skill really.
Fortitude: Really good skill here, resists magic from monsters & bosses. And a skill that makes you resist can't be resisted.
Shockwave: This is like a stun AND a blast, really great skill, so don't miss out on this skill.
Spectral Magic: My personal favourite =P
Spectral Weapons: Works well with a Spectral Weapon equipped, but you have to have this for the next skills.
Evasion: Gives to the ability to evade physical attacks, which is really nice.
Absorption: Casting skill, works when your opponent attacks you, then you heal yourself instead.
Reflex: This is the one skill where you can laugh in your opponents face =P Reflexes (obviously) what your opponent hit you for back to them.
Life Magic: You must have this WONDERFUL skill. Heals you when you're moving/ attacking.
Life Weapons: Increases the healing power of potions, nice.
Field Medic: Heals you when you're moving. Not often though :/
Lifesteal: Ironic. Heals you but doesn't steal life from your opponents. Weird name but nice skill xD
Resurrection: When you're nearly defeated, you have a chance of bouncing back to 50% of your health. You're invincible with this skill! MUHAHAHAHA!!!
So now you've seen my skill guide. Next, I'll be doing my very own walkthrough of NQ1 =D
If you have any comments/ tips, neomail belovedboulevard. It'll be helpful for me ^^
Oh well, back to playing NQ1 normal xD Buh bye! belovedboulevard
