For example, a character with Lv16 in all 8 weapon skills and only knows Ultima at Lv16 would have a total combined level of 144, putting them at tier 6. Each tier is 24 levels, meaning that damage does not change within that group of 24 levels, assuming Ultima's level is consistent. Magic spell levels include Ultima itself, and empty magic slots are treated as level 0.Ī tier determines the base damage value used, and is calculated by the total sum of weapon and magic spell levels. Base Damage % 256 ) If 5% Critical Hit occurs, Base Damage is multiplied by 2 Final Damage = Base Damage + Random Bonus Levels = SUM ( All Weapon Skill Levels + All Magic Spell Levels ) Tier = FLOOR ( Levels ÷ 24 ) Base Damage = Ultima Level × 2 + 100 Else if caster is Minwu:īase Damage = 3 × Ultima Level × ( Minwu's Spirit + 100 ) If multi-target, Base Damage is divided by 4 Random Bonus = RANDOM ( 0. The process of damage calculation for Ultima: In Soul of Rebirth, the player can only teach Ultima to Minwu. The player can teach Ultima to any party member, but as the Ultima Tome is unique, they can only teach it once. Minwu's Ultima can exceed the damage of a maxed out Ultima from another character. When Minwu casts Ultima, it uses a different formula that does rely on his Spirit, but is still unaffected by armor penalties to the stat and ignores magic defense. Ultima is unaffected by penalties to Spirit or Intelligence, so a character can wear heavy armor with no downsides. Thus Ultima may do next to no damage, but when taught to someone with numerous high-level spells, it is the most powerful spell, far surpassing Flare and Holy, the otherwise two strongest Black and White Magic spells. The more spells the character knows, and the higher their magic and skill levels are, the more damage Ultima does. When cast by most characters, its damage is not determined by Spirit or Intelligence instead, Ultima's damage relies on the number of spells the caster knows and their level, as well as their weapon skill levels (unarmed and shield included). Ultima is classified as White Magic, as it raises Spirit when used repeatedly. Here Minwu and his party challenge Ultima Weapon for another Ultima Tome. In Soul of Rebirth a teleport in Machanon leads to a recreation of the Mysidian Tower's top floors. At the top of the Mysidian Tower Minwu sacrifices his life to destroy the seal on the door to the chamber where the Ultima Tome lay. Princess Hilda orders Minwu to travel to Mysidia and retrieve the Ultima Tome, but he takes longer than she expected and she sends Firion and his friends to find him. The Wild Rose Rebellion's fight against Palamecia is dire enough to use Ultima. Minwu destroys the seal on the Ultima Tome. Furthermore, Leviathan served as the tower's guardian. Entry to the tower was made possible with a Crystal Rod, which required a Black Mask and White Mask to be obtained. The Mysidian mages feared for the world's safety and sealed the Ultima Tome in the Mysidian Tower. Pandaemonium sank back to Hell and the Jade Passage closed. Demons from Pandaemonium attacked the world through the passage, until the Mysidian mages crafted the ultimate spell, Ultima, and used it. Many years ago, Pandaemonium rose into the world, and the Jade Passage opened far to the east of Mysidia.
