Hi! Im new to this so bear with me.
Each weapon in Crystal chronicles has a differnent Focus attack depending on looks. Each is different and some are better than others
Clavats
Bash- used on jagged looking swords. hits twice
for decent damage
Piercing sweep-The worst in my opinion. used by
the black flat topped swords. does damage
like only one hit from bash.
Power slash- comes from the rune looking swords.
decent power, but lacks because its only
usually weaker weapons.
Soul Shot- a far disance move. it has great
power also. used in Rune blade, and
Excalibur. The best all around.
Shadow blade- The best in offense. It lacks
distance, but hits three times for very
high damage. Only used by Ragnarok.
I have only been using a clavat, so I'm not sure of the other classes.
