Techs


BATTLE TECHS / SKILLS



PRESENTATION

In RS3, in addition to regular attacks, characters can use Techs (Waza in Japanese, Skills in the Remaster)
mainly in order to affect the enemies' HP or status in battle, at the cost of TP / Tech Points (WP / Waza Points in Japanese).

All techs (except Kungfu) are weapon-dependent (e.g. you cannot use a Sword tech without having a Sword equipped).

Some specific weapons have built-in techs, which sometimes need to be sparked. See also the Weapon section.

There is also a special category: Evade skills, which allow you to evade specific enemy attacks.

Note: For Formations Techs (Ftechs), see the Gameplay > Commander Mode section.


LEARN & MASTER


Before they can be used, skills must be learnt in battle. Some characters start with a few techs (see Initial Equip & Skills).
In battle, there is a chance, if requirements are met, to learn (trigger, spark) a tech: a light bulb flashes above your character's head.
This is also the case for Evade skills: when targeted by specific enemy skills, the character has a chance to learn how to evade them.

In a nutshell, here are the factors in play to spark techs:
- It is easier to learn new techs when fighting strong enemies (some techs can only be learnt against very strong enemies).
- To learn a few specific techs, some other tech must be used (otherwise the simplest is to keep using the basic attack; see Note 3 just below).
- It depends on the learning difficulty of each tech: some techs are easy to learn, some are difficult.
- It depends on the Spark Type of your character (depending on his/her weapon of choice): it determines which techs can be sparked more easily by your character (although there is a very slim chance that anyone can spark any tech if the monster is strong enough).
- It is easier when you have a Weapon Mastery (TP) Crown (how to get a Crown) or when you have 0 MaxMP.
- It becomes more difficult to spark techs if tech sparking has already occured in the current battle.

For more details, see also the Tech Sparking Chances & Formula section.

Then, those techs must be mastered. If you keep using a tech you will eventually master it (confirmation message after winning a battle), and it is very important: mastered techs can be equipped and used by anyone in the party. Evade skills must also be mastered to be permanently available.

For more details, see the Tech Mastering Chances & Formula section.


Notes

1) To raise your chances to spark a specific tech (superfluous until endgame):
- Equip ALL your characters with the necessary weapon (and the necessary tech if the tech you want to learn sparks only from another specific tech).
- Find a strong enemy, ideally an Asura, save your game.
- Battle (have ALL your characters try to spark the tech), reload/retry until successful, then flee from the battle, save, and get ready to master the tech you just sparked.

2) To raise your chances to master a specific tech:
- [Remaster only] Equip the Expert Ring and the Master Ring.
- Any enemy can do (choose the weakest you can find, like the first enemy in the Phantom Maze of the Remaster edition), save your game.
- Activate Dragon God Descent if your character has it, then use the tech to defeat the enemies, reload/retry until successful.

3) Which tech(s) should be used to spark new techs?
All techs must/can be sparked by using the basic weapon attack, except:

Sword (1) - Sword Flash/Shimmering Slash --> use Sweep Down/Knee Split or Flying Water Cut/Riptide
Greatsword (3) - Stealing Hands/Disarm --> use Shadow Move/Incorporeal Stance
- Reverse Wind/Headwind Rush --> use Sweep Draw/Running Slash
- Earth Crescent/Waning Moon --> ume Earth Run/Gravedigger
Axe (3+2) - Megahawk --> use Tomahawk
- Sky Drive --> use Tomahawk
- Deadly Spin --> use Blade Roll/Twist and Turn
- Hand Axe and Francisca's Yoyo/Yo-yo --> use Tomahawk
- Hawkwind/Falconwind's Orbit Borer/Reverse Orbit --> use Tomahawk or [Remaster only] Axel Spin
Mace (2) - Grand Slam --> use Earthquake Hit/Seismic Strike
- Shell Split/Nutcracker --> use Hard Hit/Crushing Blow
Epee (1) - Screwdriver --> use Mindstare/Mesmerize
Spear (1+1) - Beast God Stab/Divine Lancer --> use Aiming/Aim
- Dragon Spear/Sm'augg's Round Slicer --> use Swing/Reaper
Bow (3+1) - Continue Shot/Multishot --> use Quick Arrow/Nock
- Shadow Kill/Buster --> use Shadow Sew/Weave
- Million Dollar/Millionnaire --> use Random Arrow/Rapid Volley
- Dobi/Composite Bow's Death Arrow/Deathshot --> use Quick Arrow/Nock
Martial (7) - Giant Swing --> use Air Throw/Tumble, Niagara Buster or Reverse Throw/Slam
- Niagara Buster --> use Air Throw/Tumble, Giant Swing or Reverse Throw/Slam
- Reverse Throw/Slam --> use Air Throw/Tumble, Giant Swing or Niagara Buster
- Bolt/Thunder Kick --> use Kick
- Meteor Kick --> use Kick, Air Throw/Tumble or Bolt/Thunder Kick
- Evil Breaker/Crush --> use Instant Power/Pressure Point
- Tiger Break --> use Powerup Fist/Punishing Palm

For all other techs, the basic attack is enough, because: there is no need to fill your tech inventory with extra techs (all tech slots are precious and tech inventory should never be full), sparking difficulty does not change that much, and enemies are generally weak enough, when you have a full party, to be dispatched with basic attacks only. Note also that sparking needs not be done consciously until endgame (i.e. do not battle in order to spark techs until endgame).


EQUIP

To be usable in battle, techs must be equipped on each character in the Select menu.


In the Select menu, choose Tech and you reach the Tech Equip menu.
To equip a skill, select a skill category on the right side, A, select a skill, A.
One character can only equip 8 skills at most, at any time.
You can inspect the equipped skill list on the left side.
Here is what means what:



TECH SPARKING TYPES

We are not all coded equal! While any character can equip and use any already-mastered tech (which is awesome in itself),
each character belongs to one of the 12 Tech Learning Types, each with a different set of techs available for easier sparking on their list.

In a nutshell:
- Types 01 to 08 specialize in one weapon and have all (or most of*) its techs on their aptitude list.
- Type 09 is varied (focus on Sword, Greatsword, Mace, Spear)
- Type 10 is a special Spear type (close to Type 09)
- Type 11 can spark many different techs
- Type 00 has few sparkable techs on their list

* The exceptions are:
- Type 02 (Earth Crescent/Waning Moon only more easily learnable by Types 09, 10 & 11)
- Type 04 (Swallow hit, by Types 09 & 10)


So who is which type?
For your main character, the weapon specialty you chose at the start determines their Tech Sparking Type, with three exceptions (09-11), as shown on the left column below. For all your other party members, when you recruit them their default Type is fixed as shown on the right column below.

Note (SFC): There is a glitch in the game: if you chose a different weapon than the default weapon for your main character, you must save, reset and load your save IN GAME once for the Type change to be effective. Otherwise, your main character will still be on his default Type.

Note: A character can be good at sparking techs and terrible at using them (and the contrary can be true also), because how effectively a character uses a weapon or tech depends solely on their fixed stats. E.g. 1: Leonid type 05 (good at sparking Epee techs) but low DEX (hence terrible at Epee). E.g. 2: Undine type 00 (terrible at sparking techs in general) but high DEX (hence good at Epee & Bow).

Note: Even if a tech is not on a character's learning list, there is a very small chance that you can spark it. So there is no real need to overthink this (unlike in Romancing Saga 2).

For the detailed lists of learnable techs see below the Tech Sparking Types Tables


TECH LEARNING SPOTS

Good Skill Sparking Spots:
- Ogre (Spark 17) in the Devil King/Archfiend Castle, i.e. the stationary Beastman in front of the painting, in the room after the stairs and Gon.
- Magma/Magmite (21) and Cerberus (24) in the Fire Fortress and/or the Giant (23) at the Holy King/Matriarch Trials.
- Pois Gion/Poison Gigant (33) in Leonid's Castle, appear when fighting the stationary zombies if your party is strong already. The Carpenters (25) and stronger versions of Dragon Zombies (29) that come before it can be of use too.

Asura is the regular enemy with the highest Spark/Flash LVL (35) hence the best enemy to learn new techs from.
Fighting Asura is possible:
- in the Ancient Ruins / Temple Ruins (stationary Demon, re-appears as long as you do not defeat the boss)
- in Kings Capitol / City of Kings (Harid/Khalid only)
- in the Phantom Maze (Remaster Edition only) in zone 3.5 (go to zone 4 and go back once).
- the boss in the monster-infested Thieves' Cave / Bandit's Hideout (stationary Fairy, disappears when defeated)
- the bosses in Robins' Quest in Yamas/Yarmouth (both Demon enemies at the end can be Asura).

Reminder: it is mostly easier to spark techs with characters with a TP Crown or with MaxMP=0.

Note: The other regular enemies with high Flash LVL are:
- Zera Beetle (35)
- Alef/Aleph, Lizard Lord/Lizardman Lord, Triton (34)
- Ming Wang/Vidyaraja, Pois Gion/Poison Gigant (33)

Note on Attack Types, Attributes and Effects

Attacks have several parameters that determine their Type(s), Attribute(s), or which Status change / effect they can inflict.
Quite logically, these parameters also determine armor defenses (see the Armor section).

There are three main categories (which are differently defended against):
- Type: Slash Hit Pierce Shot / Heat Cold Bolt Status (Def = armor Def Points, Shield Def or Evade)
- Attribute: Water Throw Sonic Stare Ground (Def = Immunities)
- Status Change: Death Stone Paralysis Sleep Dark Mind (Confusion & its variants) Poison Stun (Def = Resistances, i.e. Immunities; but there seem to be many cases when your own shield status resistances do not activate, bugged).

Category Type Main Attacks & Techs
Physical Slash Sword, Greatsword, Axe
Hit Axe, Mace/Staff, Kungfu
Pierce Epee, Spear
Shot Bow
Magic Heat Psycho Burst
Cold Ice Sword/Everfrost Blade attacks
Bolt Bolt Pierce/Piercing Lightning, Plasma Shot, Bolt/Thunder Kick
Status Aiming/Aim, Dragon Hit/Snake Blaster, Instant Power/Pressure Point, Evil Breaker/Crush
None None All counters, Meteor Kick, Tiger Break, Draw Sword/Quick Draw, Swallow Hit/Reverse Swallow

Note on TP Cost and Expenditure

All techs cost 1 TP less when a character has a TP / Weapon Mastery Crown (when (max TP + 5) / (max MP + 5) ≥ 10).

Effective TP cost is calculated as such by order of priority:
1) If Final Strike is used, all TP is consumed
2) If Dragon God is active, further TP cost=0
3) If applicable, -1 TP discount (Robins for Epee or Weapon Mastery Crown, non-cumulative: max discount = -1TP)
4) If any Devil King item is equipped, TP cost is doubled
E.g. Robin (innate Epee discount) equipped with the Devil King Shield (TP cost x2) uses Screwdriver (7 TP Epee Tech): TP consumed = (7-1) x2 = 12TP.

Note: In the Remaster Edition, the Expert Ring halves the raw SP cost of techs, rounded down.
E.g. Ellen with a SP Crown and equipped with the Expert Ring and the Archfiend's Shield uses Sky Drive: ([9/2 = 4]-1) x2 = 6TP.


Note on Tech Dmg and Stats

This conveniently sums up on which of the attacking character's static stats depends tech damage.

In general:

Techs Stats
Sword

Axe
Mace
Spear		 STR
Epee
Bow		 DEX
Kungfu STR & SPD

With the following exceptions:

Techs Stats
Snake Sword/Serpentsvard, Snake Shot, Sidewinder, Shotwave STR
Earth Run/Gravedigger, Earthquake Hit/Seismic Strike, Grand Slam STR & Weapon Weight
Chop Down/Riposte, Stealing Hands/Disarm, Just Meet/Dead-on, Matador, Windmill, Exorcist/Exorcising Slash DEX
Blade Net, Scare Voice/Siren Scream, Flash Arrow, Star Stream? INT

Psycho Burst, Shield Rush/Shield Bash WIL & HP
Repeater Techs: Holo Sword/Mirage Blade, Split Body/Doppelslasher, Deadly Spin, Yoyo/Yo-yo, Round Slicer, Tri-Shooter, Continue Shot/Multishot. (Previous)
Ratio Techs: Dimension Cut/Dimensional Slash, Aerobit/Vortex Drive. (E MaxHP)
Throws: Air Throw/Tumble, Giant Swing, Niagara Buster, Reverse Throw/Reverse Slam. (E CON)

Notes:
- Techs depending on TP Cost see their damage logically go up when the character is equipped with Devil King items, but much less than proportionally.
- The damage of attack items (Spirit Stone, Sand of Mars, Eternal Ice) depends on INT & MaxHP.
- Focus, Power Heal, Shatter Staff/Staff Strike & Blood Suck/Suck Blood depend on INT.
- Weapon-transformation techs take into account the value of the weapon got after transformation. Awakening/Alarm is treated as a Greatsword tech.
- Of course, there are always other variables in the dmg formulae, e.g. RGN, the character's Weapon LV, the Weapon's Attack Value... See the tech tables below & reference links in the Resources section (particularly Ultianima's dmg tables [jp] from which *all* other data seem to come from).


Note on the following Tables

Next to the name of the Tech is the (TP Cost). Below the Japanese is the name in the Remaster edition.

The initial Target can be: one enemy (1E) or more (+), at close range (CR) or not, the enemy front row only (Front Row), all enemies (All), all units on the battlefields (ALL), one ally (1P), all allies (Party), or Self.

Acc is an accuracy indicator; next are the factoring (Stats) that accuracy depends on.
Pwr is a base dmg indicator; next the (Stats) on which damage output is dependent.
Those Stats can be any stat: LVL (Weapon Skill Level), W (Weapon Weight), Atk (Weapon Atk), HP (current HP), MaxHP, and all the fixed stats (STR DEX SPD CON INT WIL CHAR), and also the Enemy's (E before the abbreviation, e.g. ECON = Enemy's CON).
Hit# is the number of times a Tech hits.
Simply put, Pwr x Hit# is a good indicator of the efficiency of a particular Tech. Acc has to be taken into account for such 'Repeater Techs' (Serial/Consecutive Attacks): if one of the attacks does not hit, damage drops.
Mod is a dmg modifier.
For all those numbers: the higher the better.

Type states the Types & Attributes of the attack:
- SL (Slash), HI (Hit), PI (Pierce), SH (Shot), HE (Heat), CO (Cold), BO (Bolt), STS (Status)
- WTR (Water), TH (Throw), SO (Sonic), STA (Stare), GR (Ground)
Monsters may have defenses & immunities against all these categories.
- Additionally: FL means critical vs. Flying status.

Also, a few techs have a magical element and may change the magic environment of the battlefield:
- Wind (Windmill, Double Dragon/Dual Dragons, Aerobit/Vortex Drive)
- Fire (Firecracker)
- Earth (Earth Run/Gravedigger, Earth Crescent/Waning Moon, Earthquake Hit/Seismic Strike, Grand Slam, Beast God Stab/Divine Lancer).

A few techs do not have any Type: All Counter techs, Meteor Kick, Tiger Break, Draw Sword/Quick Draw, Swallow Hit/Reverse Swallow.
These negate all enemy defenses (i.e. the Def values from their items, but not an enemy's defensive stance 50% bonus reduction).

E Def: Any attack may trigger the Enemy's Defenses, if available:
MS (Magic Shield), EV (Evade Techs), CT (Counter Techs), SD (Shield Defense or Evade; SD- means halved activation rate).

The Spark / Special column lists from which tech(s) the tech can be sparked from (the number after the tech name is the Tech Spark Rank: the higher the number, the more difficult it is to spark this tech - see also Tech Sparking Types and Tech Sparking List) and details the tech particuliarities or effects if applicable.

Also, a convenient reminder at the beginning of each category: the techs that cannot be sparked by using a basic attack.
Here is the full list of those techs.

The mention 'Cannot be countered' reflects the absence of a CT flag and specifies that the tech cannot be countered by an enemy's Counter tech (including Aunas' Fire Mantle). They are:
- SWORD: Backstab, Holo Sword/Mirage Blade, Sword Flash/Shimmering Slash, Star Stream (but not Star Burst/Supernova), Final Strike (Sword),
- GREATSWORD: Earth Run/Gravedigger, Dancing Sword,
- AXE: Tomahawk, Sky Drive, Yoyo/Yo-yo, Orbit Borer/Reverse Orbit, Final Strike (Axe),
- MACE: Earthquake Hit/Seismic Strike, Grand Slam, Draw Sword/Quick Draw, Swallow Hit/Reverse Swallow,
- EPEE: Snake Shot, Bolt Pierce/Piercing Lightning, Firecracker, Snake Sword/Serpentsvard
- SPEAR: Aiming/Aim, Dragon Hit/Snake Blaster, Double Dragon/Dual Dragons, Great Wheel/Giant Swing, Meteor Thrust/Stardust,
- All BOW techs,
- MARTIAL: Air Throw/Tumble, Instant Power/Pressure Point, Evil Breaker/Evil Crush, S Dimension/Spatial Persona, Tiger Break,
- and all Counter techs (Stealing Hands/Disarm, Chop Down/Riposte, Just Meet/Dead-on, Matador, Windmill, Counter) and Sword Parry but you will have a hard time inflicting damage with this ; )

Note that there are techs that deal a critical hit ('Crit vs. X') against specific Races of enemies (Undead, Skeleton, Plant..): see the Monsters section.

Two-handed attacks do not allow the activation of your character's shield (if equipped with one).
Such are all BSword, Spear, Bow Techs. A few Kungfu attacks are also 2-handed (Throws, some Vampire magics).

Note: Successful Petrify / Insta-Death prevents item drop. Exception: Leonid's Gentle Touch/Caress.

To see if your character can spark a specific Tech more easily, see the Tech Sparking Types Tables & the Tech Sparking Lists.

Part of the mined data is invalid or unused (like E Def for some Status techs) or hackers simply could not figure out what the data was for.

EVADE

Your characters can spark/learn Evade Skills (which may cover for several enemy techs):
Axel Sniper/Lightspeed, Blade Roll/Rolling Slash, Bolt Kick/Thunder Kick, Bone Crush/Bonecrusher, Death Sickle, Earthquake, Far Hit, Feint, Hypnotize, Leg Sweep, Lifesteal, Multi Attack, Multiway, Net, Pheromone, Random Arrow/Rapid Volley, Rollup Strike/Sunder, Slicing Slash, Shadow Sew/Shadow Weave, Smash, Stare/Gaze, Tentacle...

Sparking or Mastering Evade Skills follow the same rules as regular techs (cf. Tech Sparking & Mastering in the Advanced section).
Sparking Evade Skills depends on a difficulty level ('Spark LV' in the table below, the lower the easier) associated to each enemy tech that can spark the corresponding Evade Skill.
Mastering Evade Skills depends on an Evade Skill cost ('Cost' in the table below, the lower the easier) similar to the UsedTP cost of regular techs.

One way to learn/master an Evade Skill is to save your game, battle a specific enemy and have all your characters Defend (or use Focus) until the Evade is sparked (happens during the battle) or mastered (happens during a specific turn, definitive only at the end of the battle, save before killing and reload if the Evade was not mastered). This can take some time if you are not lucky..
As there is a chance to master the skill when you spark it, another way to got about Evade Skills, if you do not really care (to some extent they can be replaced by items), is to erase the Evade Skills not mastered after a battle (they quickly take too much space in your tech inventory).

Useful enemies for Evade Skills: Baku (Hypnotize), Afkar (Blade Roll/Rolling Slash), Reaper (Death Sickle, Multi Attack, Far hit, Stare/Gaze, Rollup Strike/Sunder..), Ghast (Net, Stare/Gaze), Dobi (Random Arrow/Rapid Volley, Bone Crush/Bonecrusher), Skull Titan (Bolt Kick/Thunder Kick, Trample, Body Hit), Asura (Pheromone, Net)..

Evade Skills are capital for endgame battles & solo playthroughs.
The most important Evade skills are most likely Death Sickle & Stare/Gaze, to avoid the disastrous Insta-Death & Charm/Petrify/etc. techs.
Other important Evade skills include: Hypnotize, Lifesteal, Net, Pheromone.
And a lot of enemies use Bone Crush/Bonecrusher, Earthquake, Trample & Body Hit.

Notes on the table below:
- Any Tech may spark the corresponding Evade Skill.
- If you have sparked an Evade Skill, you can master it against (and evade) any of the corresponding Techs.
- Enemies to spark or master Evade Skills differ because some monsters' FlashLV may be too low to spark the Evade Skill (while mastering a tech is unrelated to the monsters' SparkLV but only depends on the Evade Cost). Hence the 'To Master' column entails the complete lists.
- Evade Skills that seemingly cannot be sparked: Brain Split/Skull Splitter (脳天割り), Evade F9 (みきりえふく for Yami's Death Widow 死人ゴケ).
- According to mined data (may be unreliable), some 'Body Hit' techs cannot be evaded with the 'Body Hit' Evade Skill and another 'Face Hit' tech cannot spark the 'Face Hit' Evade (Spark LV = 255). Also, some other techs have an Evade Skill flag but Spark LV = 255: Glider Spike (グライダースパイク), Lifebreak (ライフブレイク). See Enemy Techs Data (Endo's [jp]).
- The official English translations, from the Remaster edition, of the 'Ward' skills are also added below the Japanese.

ADVANCED SECTION


TECH SPARKING TYPES TABLES

The following tables list which tech can be sparked by which Tech Sparking Type.
It basically tells you if your character can learn this tech or that tech.
Or, which Type of character to pick if you want to learn tech so-&-so during your playthrough.

'*' signals a built-in tech of a weapon.

At the end of each line is added which atk or tech (Sparking Tech) must or can be used to learn the tech in question; the number (Spark Rank) after the sparking tech name reflects the difficulty to learn the desired tech by using that atk or tech (1 being the easiest).
This information is found below, in a different form, in the Tech Sparking List.

If you want to know more about the tech sparking system, see below Tech Sparking Formula.
There is a small chance for any Type to spark any tech if requirements are met (enemy's strength, tech).

Endo's original mined data: http://s-endo.skr.jp/rs3techlearndata.txt

By Khajiit Rankin
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/588634-romancing-saga-3/15322022?page=8:

The information is mostly from this website: http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~s-endo/rs_analyzer.html
[Note: Dead link: the new site is: http://s-endo.skr.jp/rs_analyzer.html#Description-RS3.]
It was originally posted on the Game FAQ forum by Zach Keene.

The format:
The tech without a -> in front of it is the one you have to use to learn the techs below it.
The number behind the techs is the difficulty of learning them (Tech Spark Rank).
A * means you have to use a special weapon to learn and use the tech.

Techs can be on the list more than once, that just means they can be learned from more than one tech. The difficulty can vary though, it's usually easier to learn if you use a certain tech.

Additional info, originally by Zach Keene:

"Axel Turn can't spark Orbit Borer due to a bug [corrected in the Remaster version]. If you have a hex editor, changing the byte at 3E145C from $71 to $F1 should fix it. To fix the Axel Turn bug, you can also just use this PAR code: FE125CF1."


TECH SPARKING CHANCES & FORMULA

Tech sparking occurs during a character's turn in battle.
After the light bulb has appeared, the tech is definitively learned and you can flee the battle if you wish.
But if you remove from your Tech Equip List (Select Menu) a tech that you have not mastered yet (in red letters), you lose it for good and you have to learn it again.

The formula used to determine tech sparking is:

Sparking Probability (%) = [Base Spark Rate x (8 - Spark Count) / 8 - 1 ] / 255 x 100

where Base Spark Rate is calculated
- based on the difference between the Enemy Spark Rank (ESR, mainly refered to as Enemy Flash Level, see the Monster List) and the Tech Spark Rank (TSR, the tech sparking/flashing difficulty, the number between brackets in the Tech Sparking List above)
- confronted to one of two probability tables, depending on whether you have a Weapon Mastery (TP) Crown or 0 Max MP (better chances), or not (worse chances),
and where Spark Count is the number of tech sparks that occured so far in the present battle (following that the Sparking Probability decreases with each new tech sparked in the same battle, and that 8 is the max number of sparks in one battle).

This formula is used only for the techs that are on the character's Aptitude List (the list of the techs a character can learn, depending on his/her Type, which depends on his/her favorite weapon).

In a nutshell:

1) When the tech is in the character's Aptitude List,
and if no tech has been sparked yet in the current battle (Spark Count = 0),
the official Sparking Probabilities are:

ESR minus TSRCrown Bonus
or 0 Max MP		No Crown Bonus
10 or higher19.2%15.3%
918.0%14.9%
817.6%14.9%
716.8%14.1%
616.1%13.7%
514.9%12.9%
414.1%11.8%
312.9%11.0%
211.8%9.8%
110.5%8.6%
09.4%7.5%
-17.8%7.9%
-26.7%4.7%
-35.5%3.5%
-44.3%2.7%
-53.1%1.6%
-62.0%0.8%
-71.2%0%
-80.4%0%
-9 or lower0%0%

2) When the tech is not in the character's Aptitude List,
if ESR-TSR ≥ -9 then the official Sparking Probability is 1/255 (0.4%)
whatever the Spark Count may be.

This means that when trying to spark techs with a high SparkLV, it can be easier to do so with a character who does not have the tech on his aptitude list. Concretely: when trying to learn Tiger Break, have everyone in your party use Powerup Fist/Punishing Palm: sometimes you'll be surprised to see Type 01 characters, for example, learn it first.

* Note: The 1/255 Value Bug *

Effective probabilities are slightly different: the lowest non-zero value is in fact 9/1024, not 1/255.
(Mentioned by Khajiit Rankin on https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/588634-romancing-saga-3/15322022?page=8/#90.)

This is actually good for the player, actual probabilities being slightly higher than intended by the programmers.

Thus the Revised Tech Sparking Probability Table is:

TECH MASTERING CHANCES & FORMULA

Tech Mastering is only validated after winning a battle (you get a confirmation message).
Note that the attack must be used (obviously) but need not succeed (it can miss and still be mastered).

The Tech Mastering formula is:

RGN(0～255) ≤ 30 - Used TP x 7/4

From which comes that it is easier for techs with a low effective TP cost.
Effective TP cost is influenced by character & Crown discounts, the Devil King/Archfiend items penalty and the Dragon God/Descent spell.
Mastering a tech is thus easiest (12.1% probability) with Dragon God active (during which TP cost = 0)
but becomes impossible when effective TP consumption ≥ 18.

Note: You can master at most 4 techs per battle.

Here are the probabilities of mastering a tech depending on Consumed TP:

ENEMY TECHS

Last but not least, monsters too have techs! This is quite important: in order to know what you can block or which item you should equip, it is necessary to know the attributes of enemy attacks.

All actions and techs for all bosses and most fixed enemies are in the dedicated Bosses Section.

Varia:
- Enemies with Counter in their action list (be careful!): Evil Demon, Imp, Nuts, Demon, Minotaur, Strong Demon, Mako, Nixie (3), Krypton (3), Hobgoblin, Werewolf (3), Peg Powler (3), Mys Dragon (2), Draconian (3), Gnashing (4), Stray Cat (4), [Wonderlust (2)], Ming Wang (2), Dancer (3), Algernon (2), Byu Spirit (3).
- Enemies' Charm. The enemies' charming attacks have effect on characters of the opposite gender and on some characters of unknown gender (Fairy/Peony is both Male and Female and can be charmed by either; Boston & Snowman/Flurry have no gender and cannot be charmed). Note that Shields can activate against Charm attacks but the status ailment will be applied; on the other hand, Guards (evade-type shields) function and can protect your characters properly. The Holy King/Matriarch's Helm grants Mind immunity (including vs. Charm).


TECH DAMAGE FORMULAE

In general it is not really important to know what the damage (or accuracy) formulae are exactly: but only which stats the formulae rely on.
You can find that information for each tech or spell in the tables of the Techs section and in the Magic section.
Nevertheless, it can be interesting and useful to have a look at the specific formulae to see what is happening behind the scenes, and in which respects the variables are important (or not).

Preliminary Explanations

Pwr, Hit# and Mod are values found in the Tech tables, specific to each tech.

STAT = the relevant character's stat, also found in the Tech page (here is a Summary), each tech relying on a different stat: STR, DEX, MAG/INT or WIL. This value is the actual stat value, after any (de)buff applied during battle.

ASPD = Attack Speed, which is your character's SPD stat factored by total equipment weight (W) and by Formation bonus or penalty (F), like so: ASPD = [SPD - (W÷2)]×F, and any (de)buff applied during battle.

LV = Skill (Weapon or Magic) Level.

ATK = Weapon Attack Value.
WW = Weapon Weight.
Both values are found in the Items page

MaxHP = character's Max HP
NowHP = character's current HP

DEF = Target's relevant Defense value.
If the attack has several attributes, the smallest relevant DEF value is used.
The attack attribute(s) are found in the Tech tables.

ECON = Target's actual CON stat.
EMaxHP = Target's Max HP

The DEF, ECON and EMaxHP values are found in Zach Keene's Bestiary for all monsters, and in the Boss section for the main enemies.

RGN = Randomly Generated Number, between 1 and LV×3.
If LV=0, RGN=0.

Last but not least,
C = this value depends on your character's relevant LV, as per the table below:

Note: There are general RS3-specific calculation rules for all formulae:
- all division totals and square roots are rounded down to closest integer
- priority to content between brackets
- priority to modulo operations
- calculation from left to right in order
- if totals between brackets are negative, then = 0
- if a grand total is negative, then = 0


General Weapon DMG Formula

For most weapon techs:

DMG ＝ D × (128-DEF-ECON÷2) ÷128 - DEF×2
where D = Pwr×Hit# ＋ [C×STAT ＋ C×(50-C)÷8] ÷4×Mod ＋ [Mod＋C＋ (STAT-19) ÷2] × (ATK-DEF÷2) ÷2 ＋ RGN

Notes:
- For techs that transform one weapon into another, the category and values of the second weapon apply.
E.g. For Awakening/Alarm: Masquerade Greatsword.
- For techs that take into account consumed TP/SP for dmg, this is reflected in the tech 'Pwr' value: TPx24 for Final Strike, 100+TPx8 for Misty Ice/Arctic Rush, 100+SPx140 for Were Buster/Hunter's Fury, 20+SPx10 for Inner Eye/Rapid Volley EX.
- For critical hits (techs vs enemies of a certain Race grant a critical hit), DEF = 0.
- DEF = 0 also for techs with no attribute (All counters, Meteor Kick, Tiger Break, Draw Sword/Quick Draw, Swallow Hit/Reverse Swallow).

Looking at the formula, one can remark that:
- The part (LV-19) ÷2 has no influence on dmg if LV<21.
By comparison, due to the nature of the formula, LV when LV>21 has much less influence on tech dmg than on spell dmg.
- Due to (ATK-DEF÷2), unless weapon ATK minus target's DEF > 2, Weapon ATK has no influence on tech dmg.


DMG Formula for Repeater Techs

DMG ＝ D × n × (128-DEF-ECON÷2) ÷128 - DEF×2
where D = Pwr×Hit# ＋ [C×STAT ＋ C×(50-C)÷8] ÷4×Mod ＋ [Mod＋C＋ (STAT-19) ÷2] × (ATK-DEF÷2) ÷2 ＋ RGN

The formula for Repeater Techs is similar to the general formula, but there are two major differences:

1) There is no specifically associated LV: the last Skill LV used in calculation is used (= the one used for the attack performed immediately before the current attack, be it by a friend or a foe). If a repeater tech is used right after a reset, LV=0.

2) There is an extra factor: n = number of attacks, which varies depending on LV and Tech Type.
This value is not a simple multiplier but determines the number of times that the calculation of the part that precedes it (= D) is repeated (including an accuracy roll for each of these attacks). Hence, as n increases, and if all attacks hit, dmg can increase very significantly (as it is the total raw dmg, not each attack dmg independantly, that is confronted to the target's DEF and CON).

-Type A: Split Body/Doppelslasher, Yoyo/Yo-yo, Round Slicer: n=LV÷10+1
-Type B: Deadly Spin: n=LV÷20+2
-Type C: Continue Shot/Multishot: n=LV÷18+2
-Type D: Holo Sword/Mirage Blade, Tri-Shooter/Triple Shot: n=1, which means that each target gets attacked only once (but these techs attack several targets).

Concretely:

DMG Formula for Earthquake Techs

DMG = D×（128-DEF-ECON÷2）÷128 - DEF×2
where D = Pwr×Hit# + C x (STR + ATK) ÷4 + C x Mod x WW x (STR - WW x2) ÷8 + RGN

Curiously, the dmg for Earth Run/Gravedigger, Earthquake Hit/Seismic Strike and Grand Slam depends on your Weapon Weight (WW)! and ofc on STR, incidentally in a greater proportion than the general dmg formula, and your Weapon Atk value.


Ratio DMG Formula

DMG = D×（128-DEF-ECON÷2）÷128 - DEF×2
where D = EMaxHP ÷8 x m + RGN

For Dimension Cut/Dimensional Slash and Moon Read/Lunar Mirror, m = 2
For Aerobit/Vortex Drive, m = 3

It is interesting to note that the damage of those 3 techs in completely unrelated to Weapon Atk Pwr and only incidentally (and minimally) related (through RNG) to Skill LV.


Weapon Counter Techs DMG Formula

DMG = (DEX + Weapon Atk Pwr ÷2) x C x Mod ÷2 + RGN

This concerns Chop Down/Riposte, Stealing Hands/Disarm, Just Meet/Dead-on, Matador & Windmill.
Note that the Weapon Atk Pwr for Stealing Hands/Disarm is that of your original weapon (not that of the stolen weapon).
For Martial Counter: see Martial Dmg Formula below.


DMG Formula for WILL Techs

DMG = D×（128-DEF-ECON÷2）÷128 - DEF×2
where D = WIL x A + (MaxHP - NowHP) ÷16 x B ÷ (MaxHP÷64+1) + RGN

For *Psycho Buster/Psychic Burst, A=8 and B=500.
For Shield Rush/Bash, A=5 and B=48.

The dmg of those two techs, dependent on the WIL stat, is also dependent on your current HP, and the lower the better (more accurately, when the difference between your MaxHP and current HP is high).

Shield Rush/Bash: unfortunately, B is too low for the tech to give off any noticeable dmg; moreover, there is no corresponding Skill LV, so RGN=0.


Martial DMG Formula (Except Throws)

DMG = D×（128-DEF-ECON÷2）÷128 - DEF×2
where D = Pwr×Hit# + √(STR x SPD) x C x Mod + (STR-19) ÷2x (C+Mod) + RGN

From which we can see that:
- STR and SPD both count equally for damage,
- unless STR>20, in which case STR becomes the predominant factor.

Notes:
- Counter has no attribute and nullifies ECON.
- For Boston's regular attack (Scissors/Trim) and Counter: DMGx2
- For Tiger Break, STR = STR+8


DMG Formula for Throws

DMG = D×（128-DEF-ECON÷2）÷128 - DEF×2
where D = (Pwr×Hit# + C) x n + (ECON-15) x LV + RGN

We notice that:
- The character's Martial LV (from LV, C & n) is the main stat here as far as dmg is concerned.
- The enemy's CON is also important, and in general enemies with large sprites have a high CON, which means higher dmg. The drawback is that a higher ECON means a lower attack success chance: a character with high STR is helpful there.

The multiplicative value 'n' varies depending on the tech:
- Air Throw/Tumble: n = LV÷5+1
- Giant Swing, Niagara Buster, Reverse Throw/Reverse Slam: n = LV÷10+1

Concretely:

TECH ACCURACY FORMULAE

Accuracy formulae are another interesting thing to look at.
The idea is that the left part of the equation must be higher than a RGN that varies between 0 and 100.

Notes:
- See the Preliminary Explanations of the Skill Dmg Formula section above for abbreviations and comments.
- Additionally:
Acc = Tech Accuracy value, readily available in the pictorial Tables that detail each Tech above.
UpLV is one of the two enemy's index values that indicate the 'difficulty' of the enemy (it increases the probability for your characters to level up after battle).


General Weapon Accuracy Formula (Type 0x00)

Acc + LV + (STR - WWx4) + DEX -ESPDx2 > (RGN mod 100)

This formula concerns Sword, Greatsword, Mace and most Spear techs.
You can see that accuracy depends on LV, STR and Weapon Weight and DEX in a rather balanced manner, and that, while STR and DEX can be momentarily buffed in battle, the corresponding Skill LV is the only parameter that steadily grows during your playthrough, making tech accuracy steadily better over playtime.


Axe Accuracy Formula (Type 0x01)

Acc + (LV÷2) + (STR - WWx4) x4 -ESPDx2 > (RGN mod 100)

This formula concerns Axe and the basic Spear attack.
Axe tech Acc is lower than the rest and the Skill LV influence is halved: attacks have a higher chance of missing than other hand weapons. A high STR can make a difference, and STR-enhancing buffs (Berserk, War Cry, *Bless/Breath, *Victory Song/Paean of Victory), especially when cast by another fast character if possible, can come in doubly handy for axe users (for accuracy, for damage).


Bow & Shortsword Accuracy Formula (Type 0x02)

Acc + LV + (STR - WWx4) x4 + (DEX - 18) x4 -ESPDx3 > (RGN mod 100)

Note that DEX needs to be over 18 to influence tech accuracy.
Most Bow and Epee tech damage are DEX-based but STR is important (you need to be physically able to handle your Epee or Bow too!) and can be buffed in battle.
The Target's SPD also plays a more important (negative) role than for other techs.
Some Bow techs tend to miss more probably because of lower Acc values and higher Weapon Weight than Epees.


Insta-death Techs Accuracy Formula (Type 0x22)

Acc + LV + (STR - WWx4) + SPD -ESPDx2 > (RGN mod 100)

For Snake Shot, Snake Sword/Serpentsvard and Sidewinder vs. Frogs, Shot Wave/Arrow Barrage vs Birds. Rarely misses.


Martial General Accuracy Formula (Type 0x03)

Acc + STR + SPD -ESPDx2 > (RGN mod 100)

Note that Martial LV is of no influence for tech accuracy.
Only STR and SPD can be acted upon (formation, equipment, buffs).
This accuracy formula serves for most enemy techs.


Throws Accuracy Formula (Types 0x21 & 0x28)

Acc + STR + SPD + LV -UpLV -ECONx2 -ESPD > (RGN mod 100)

Plenty of factors affect the outcome negatively: debuffs may come in handy, especially Sky Drive (CON -10) or Beast God Stab/Divine Lancer (CON & SPD -5).


Counter Tech Activation Formula

For most counters:

Evade + [LV÷2] + (SPD-WW) - E SPD > (RGN mod 100)

For Martial Counter & Stealing Hands/Disarm:

Evade + [LV÷2] + (SPD-WW) - [E SPD÷2] > (RGN mod 100)

'Evade' is the equivalent of the 'Acc' stat for counter techs.
To raise the success rate of counters, ideally: a high SPD (can be raised with items, formation bonus, buff), a high LV, a light weapon, and debuffs to lower the enemy's SPD.

There is an additional roll for Stealing Hands/Disarm to be successful in stealing the enemy's weapon:

20 + DEX + [LV÷4] - E SPD > (RGN mod 100)


Additional Effect Activation Formula

After a successful accuracy roll (the attack hits), there is a second roll for techs that in addition to damage may have an additional effect (Status ailments, debuffs).
The formula is different for your characters and for the enemies but both are interesting (one shows what you need to make your attacks succeed, one shows what you need to make the enemies' attacks fail ; ).

A) For enemy attacks

[(STR+SPD+CON+MAG+WIL)÷2] + X ≤ (RGN mod 100)

'X' value depends on the effect:

EffectX =
Debuff / Poison / Sleep0
ConfusionWIL
Stun / DarkStatus Def
ParalysisCON
SilenceStatus Def + 10
PetrificationCON + 10
Insta-deathCON + Status Def + 10

From which you can infer that the higher your stats the higher the probability for your characters to resist side-effects and debuffs. A tech like *Victory Song/Paean of Victory or *Everyone's Song/Folk Song (to name Party techs only) can be helpful.

Note: If a tech has several different effects, there is a separate roll for each.

B) For your characters

The basic shape of the formula is the same (stats + X ≤ RGN) but strangely (it may be a bug) the enemy's stats taken into account to decide if the effect hits or misses vary depending your character's position (spot) in your formation.

SpotX
1[(STR+SPD)÷2]
2[(DEX+SPD+CON)÷2]
3[(DEX+SPD+CHA+Status Def)÷2]
4[(STR+SPD+CHA)÷2]
5[(MAG+CHA)÷2]

Since the value should be as low as possible for a hit, it results that spots 1 and 5 are the most favorable (only 2 stats taken into account) while spot 3 is the most unfavorable (5 stats).

The '+ X' part of the equation (which depends on the type of effect) is the same as in A).

Note: Giant Swing Bug
At its highest level, Giant Swing attempts to Stun, Paralyze and Insta-kill; but if an enemy is immune to any of those ailments, it becomes immune to all of them and Giant Swing's additional status ailments effects will all fail. This does not concern Giant Swing's possible stat debuff.


Status Ailment / Debuff / Special Techs Success Formulae

These techs only attempt to inflict an effect (no direct damage).
For most, there are two successive rolls (one evasion roll of sorts tha depends on the enemy's stats, and one accuracy roll that depends on the tech and your stats) and both must be successful.
Reminder: 'Acc' is the Accuracy value for each skill, readily available in the General Tables above.

* The general formulae for techs that inflict status ailments (Type 0x0E) and debuffs (0x0F) and the Insanity tech (0x26) are as follows:

1) [(E Status Def + E WIL)÷2] ≤ (RGN mod 100)
2) Acc + WIL + [LV÷2] > (RGN mod 100)

Part 2) has good chances of success but part 1) is a problem against strong enemies..

* There is a specific set of formulae for Type 0x12 techs, which are mostly Insta-death/Petrification techs (including Ftechs) and a few odd others (Leg Sweep, Terror Voice), and which all have a rather high chance to fail:

1) [(E Status Def + E WIL)÷2] ≤ (RGN mod 100)
2) Acc + WIL > (RGN mod 100)

* For HP Ratio DMG attacks (Type 0x18):

1) [(E Status Def + E WIL)÷2] ≤ (RGN mod 100)
2) Acc + WIL + [C÷2] > (RGN mod 100)

Those attacks are the only ones here where LV (through 'C') has any influence, however minimal.

* The formulae for Action Manipulation techs (0x2E: Control Undead/Rise of the Damned & Fatal Mirror) are:

1) [(E Status Def + E WIL)÷2] ≤ (RGN mod 100)
2) Acc > (RGN mod 100)

Status Def and a high WIL are your slow characters' only weapons against Fatal Mirror!

* Charm attacks (Type 0x20) have the 'opposite gender' condition and only one roll:
Acc + (CHA - E CHA) x2 > (RGN mod 100)

See the Charmers section.

* For HP Drain attacks (Types 0x1B & 0x1C):

[(E Status Def + E WIL)÷4] ≤ (RGN mod 100)

And for LP Drain attacks (Type 0x1D):

[(E Status Def + E WIL)÷2] ≤ (RGN mod 100)

Your only defenses for those two types to miss are a high Status def and a high WILL. Note that the Invisible Status won't protect you if it hits.



BUFFS & DEBUFFS

Thanks to specific skills or spells, it is possible to raise your characters' stats and LVs, and to lower those of your enemies.
Your enemies have similar skills and spells too!

Buffs and Debuffs behave differently:
- Buffs are cumulative (they stack) but lose 25% of their efficiency at the end of each round.
- Debuffs do not stack (latest effect applies), only disappear at the end of the battle or if erased by a skill/spell, but they can miss.
So debuffs are possibly more effective in battle, unless buffs also come with a power tech (like Tiger Break).


Buffs

Buffs (stat/LV-enhancing skills or spells) lose 25% of their efficiency at the end of every turn (rounded down). This means that they disappear within a few turns. E.g. if you use Axel Turn/Axel Spin, your character gain +8 SPD, which becomes 6 at the end of the turn, then 4 at the end of the next turn, then 3, 2, 1, 0. Which also means that Buffs cast on another party member or on the whole party should be cast by a fast character, so that as many characters as possible may benefit from the full effect of the Buff on the initial turn.

Exception: Stoneskin also affects a Stone counter, that simply gains 5 at the end of every turn, until it reaches 64, when your character is Petrified. This Petrification effect stacks: several Stoneskins will make your character turn to stone faster.

Buffs are also cumulative (they stack).
The total bonus gets affected by the turn-end 25% efficiency loss. E.g. if you keep using Axel Turn/Axel Spin, your SPD will be affected like so: at T1 +8 -> 6, at T2: +8 = 14 -> 10, at T3: +8 = 18 -> 13, at T4: +8 = 21 -> 15, etc.

All in all the most effective buffs may be those that come as the additional effect of a skill (the best of which is Tiger Break). Otherwise the caster will have to keep casting the buff so that other characters may fully benefit from it. Nevertheless, it is perfectly possible to have a character dedicated to party stat-boosting – as long as they wouldn't deal more damage if that character attacked also (i.e. if you train Poet/Minstrel in Martial Arts to make the most of his party Song, wouldn't it be more effective for him to attack with Tiger Break instead? unless you have several very powerful attack mages in your party).

Note that Nurse Heal/Medicate, Mystic Water, Revival Light and Total Eclipse reset all buffs to zero.

Debuffs

Debuffs (stat/LV-lowering attacks), if successful, generally last until the battle ends.

Debuff activation may fail. Debuff-only attacks that miss properly display a 'Miss' message on the target, friend or foe. But for attacks that can apply a debuff as an additional effect to damage, there is unfortunately no other way to know if it actually activated than looking at the target's performance in battle.

Debuffs do not stack (they don't cumulate) and only the latest penalty applies (earlier debuff is overwritten).

The only way to get rid of a debuff is to use Nurse Heal/Medicate, Mystic Water or Revival Light. (If the character is down then revived, the debuff still applies.)

All enemies are suceptible to debuffs (even the Last Boss).
Note that Total Eclipse resets all stats for friends & foe, while Beast/Dark Wings and Type Changes (Byunei, Destroyer..) reset the enemy's stats only.

Note that Def-halving attacks cancel the immunity (def=128) that certain enemies have to a certain type of damage (def 128 -> 64).
