Favorite Secondary FF6 Skill

[get_mik]

Mkay, so what is your favorite secondary skill? I'm excluding Steal from the category because I know everyone should already love it.

Here's the list of them with a brief explaination in no particular order:

Rage - Gau's skill, after spending time with a monster he can do moves the monster could do BUT is unpredictable as to what moves he will do.

Dance - Mog's skill, he can try to dance *and fails often*, but just like Gau, the stuff he does is unpredictable to a point.

Slots - Setzer's skill, you play a slot machine and if you get three in a row you get an awesome attack done, if you fail, every party member gets healed a bit.

Tools - Edgar's skill, he uses tools to kill stuff or confuse them. Of course, the higher his level the more damage he does. He even uses a chainsaw!

Blitz - Sabin's skill, he uses martial arts to do some serious damage through physical or spiritual means or to heal the party.

Bushido/swordplay - Cyan's skill, you wait for the time to get to the right number/level of the skill you want him to do and he does it.

Transform - Terra's skill where she transforms into her half esper form and her stats increase signifigantly for a short time.

Sketch - Relm's skill, she sketches the enemy and has the sketch do the enemies attack on the enemies!

Runic - Celes' skill, when equipped with a sword she uses it like a lightening rod that draws magic to her and replenishes her mp instead of the spell doing it's actual affect.

Lore - Strago's blue magic ability. The only secondary skill that requires mp.

Throw - Shadow's skill, he throws stuff.




I'm not putting gogo's Mimic skill here because... well, he is everyone and no one at the same time.

Oh goodness...I like most of the secondary skills myself - I mean, they've all come in handy for me at some point. EXCEPT Steal.

Morph/Trance: I admit, I'm not much on this particular one, but it does get the job done when I need the extra damage.

Tools: Owns. I like this subskill, except for those times I have him as dragoon Edgar.

Blitz: I used to loathe this one, because I could never get them right. Now, I can do them perfectly.

Health: Very, very useful. Too bad you don't have Banon for that long. But I guess I can imagine how cheap and overpowered it'll be if he were to stay with the party.

Throw: Shadow just rocks, simple as that. One of the best there is in the game.

SwdTech/Bushido: Meh, I use it sometimes, and even then, I usually don't go too far up the meter. Good for quick Dispatches and what not, maybe even a Quadra Slam if I feel like it, but other than that, I have him spending his time chopping up monsters with the Tempest.

Runic: It's an okay skill, I think. Came in handy in certain fights like Tunnel Armor or Shiva/Ifrit and such.

Rage: Gau is one of my favorite characters, so I am a big Rage person.

Slots/GP Rain: Honestly, I never was good with slots. Sure, there's cheap stuff like Joker Doom, but yeah. I was always throwing dice with him. And GP Rain....nah. I'd rather keep my gil.

Lore: Nice stuff here. I found myself using and abusing Lore every chance I had Strago.

Dance: Hmm, I use this one more often, since I've learned the terrain of the battlefields and such. Pretty decent overall.

Sketch/Control: I lost one of my first game saves using Sketch one time, and I found myself never using it again. Control, on the other hand, I use a lot. In fact, I usually never use Relm until I have that Fake Mustache.

And everyone says Zidane's a bad thief... I find Locke even worse at stealing (except for a few particular scenes... ) than Zid! XD But I digress...

BLITZING ha got to be my favorite. Because I kind of like the having to enter a special combination of buttons in to Blitz right. And the animations crack me up. Plus it's Sabin, and Sabin is awesome.

Next up would be Tools, in particular, Chainsaw. All because of the animation, because I'm shallow like that. But I do also like Crossbow, because the fact it was a nice multiple-target and non-MP-consuming attack. And those are always fun. And then there's the hilarity of Edgar-in-a-gasmask.... ^^

I used Runic a whole lot, too, and I loved that it did the double-duty of protecting the team from magic attacks as well as replenishing Celes' MP. Thing is, by the time I started teaching everyone else magic, that ability started getting becoming less useful. Basically Celes turn would be wasted because the enemy didn't USE a magic attack, and because everyone else used magic, too, Celes' MP didn't matter a whole lot. But I still love Celes...

Dance... oh hell yeah. Dancing moogles. The world is made of win, kittens, and dancing moogles.

The rest of the abilities I have vague memories of using at some point in time, but these are the ones I use the most.

The best team in the game, IMO, is Sabin, Terra, Edgar, and Gogo (set blitz and tools and you've got a Sabin+Edgar mix). Master Bum Rush, and you have true power. Mix the relics Gold Hairpin and Magic Box on Terra and you have an awesome magic user, and place Offering and Genji Glove on Edgar with the Pearl Lance and (don't remember the other spear I used) on Edgar and you've got heavy damage dealers. I never even get the Ragnarok sword, ever, because I use this team. Bum Rush for Gogo usually does somewhere from 4,000 to 6,500 to anybody, and Sabin does somewhere from 7,000 to 9,999 with his. Terra in Morph hits at about 6,000 with Ultima, double it with Magic Box and she's hitting hard. Then you have Edgar hitting 8 times at 3,500 or so damage each hit... Yeah, that team works. It's all thanks to Blitz that the team I mentioned works so well though, which is why I voted for that one.

Not to mention, Sabin is debatably my all time favorite FF character. (Sabin or Auron)

[CosmoKing]

I'd probably say Terra's Morph and Strago's Lore, as I am a big magic user. I get my Terra really highly powered and levelled up so when she Morph's and I use a spell that exploits an enemy's weakness it does 9999 HP damage, even on bosses; I beat the Fire Dragon in the Phoenix Cave in 2 or 3 turns by morphing and casting Ice 3.

SwordTech, Blitz and Tools are close behind, but Gau's Rage I never use and see absolutely no point for, Shadow's Throw is only really useful in boss battles (unless you throw Sheruken's), Runic I found to be OK but I dont use it very often, Steal I only find useful to use on some bosses(such as stealing Minerva Armour from the Goddess boss battle in Kefka's Tower), Slots I also find to be OK but again I dont use it very often.

Blitz rules. For all of the StreetFigther lovers here, this command is a must.

I love Rage also, because, as you may know, I love Blue Mages.

[get_mik]

Since I've been doing some challenges, I've found that Tools is really awesome.

When I was younger, I loved Gau's rage but it is a bit too unpredictable.
