Requirements
- Learnable by the Bandit from the second job advancement on (tier 2).
- Each level costs one skill point; the maximum, level 15, takes 15 points.
- Needs a dagger: the game refuses the skill with any other weapon.
Strategy
At level 15 each of its six hits uses 95%, for 62 MP. The number of hits rises only at levels 4, 9 and 14, so those levels add the most.
Notes
- The damage roll uses one level more than the skill window shows: at level 15 the window says 89% and the skill hits with 95%. The percentage is added on top of the base damage, and the roll then adds 2.
- The table keeps this value in tenths and the game rounds it down, so some levels add nothing to it.
