If you begin a new Ancaria Campaign with these new characters, they will be located at new starting positions on the map in the Bellevue area.
Dwarf Dwarf Dwarven Technology Flame Thrower Shoots a stream of liquid fire from his backpack. The fire sets any enemy on fire, but also dies down very quickly. Mortar Grenade Fires mortar grenades in a ballistic trajectory. These cause tremendous large-scale damage. Due to the minimum range of grenades, these cannot be used for short distances. Combat Arts Assault A combination attack consisting of blows, kicks and head butts. Musket: Several shots fired in succession.
Daemon Daemon Daemon Driven from hell and temporarily deprived of her daemonic powers, the Daemon finds herself in Ancaria near Bellevue. Her equipment is typically traditional, including swords, shields and plate armor though there are specific items only the Daemon can handle. Transformations Battle Daemon The Daemon changes into a Battle Daemon. In this form, she has white particle hair and a shimmering white aura. Physical damage and resistance are greatly increased.
Daemon Transformations Energy Daemon Blue particle hair and a blue aura surrounding the equipment indicate the form of an Energy Daemon. In this form, resistance to magic is greatly increased and some of the physical damage is converted to magical damage. Charged Bolts The Energy Daemon hurls several Charged Bolts forward in a spreading pattern. The higher the Combat Art level, the greater the number of bolts.
