Great Axe- break weaponskills

I want to tell Warriors and Dark Knights not to use the Shield Break weaponskill against these bats. I know it's an Ice based weaponskill and it should be able to land sometimes, but I was never able to get the evasion down effect onto the bats although the weaponskill would still do damage. Armor Break does work however since it's wind based and bats are weak to that element.

Siege bats only aggro if you are in a resting position. They link with all other bats in the citadel. So Mr. monk, wait 'til you get to a beetle, which are really pretty easy to avoid in this huge place, and use your powder.

seeing as bats are wind-based, they should be weak to Ice, as are most other bats
This is not a confirmation, just a suggestion

i agree ice seem to work well

had pretty good results with shock/water II aswell, didn't have aero II to test on them.

No, they are in fact weak to wind, Detonation SC and Aero spells work very well against them... I know it's pretty odd, but i guess its true because a bat is small, and would easily be blown away by wind, lol...

They don't aggro. Only the beetles do, and they aggro to sight. :P

The only reason you might think they aggro is because they link. So, if you are fighting another bat, they will link on to it and agro.

Not weak to lightning

I can confirm that these are NOT weak to lightning. I set up a party with an impaction (lightning) skillchain againts these and the magic bursts and thunder dmage were nothing special. Infact they were down right terrible.

Don't use lightning spells against these, if anything they are strong against lightning. Wind on the other hand rips through these guys nicely.

I recommend you use aero and your next strongest magic against these guys.

I'm also not sure if these really are weak to Lightning and Air, because my Aero II and Thunder don't seem to hurt them much at all, even though I have 38+27 INT and use Shock. :\

Defense for Jetstream?
# Jul 22 2004 at 2:43 PM Rating: Default
Been fighting these in Garlaige Citadel and found their "Jetstream" spell/ability to be at times a killing blow. Is there an effective defense against Jetstream? Is it wind based? would Baraera limit the damage at all?

Siege Bats do not use this ability. Wing Rats do. Only the bats that come in 3 use that deadly ability.

I don't know if Siege Bats are weak to Lightning (Thunder) because whenever I cast it, it hits for 10-20, and when I cast Fire, it's always 60-80. =\

Also try the Drown, Water II combo, or Shock Water II combo. Good results 126 damage.

Pretty sure the drop on these is Feind's Blood and not beastmen's blood. Thought id mention it since its about a 3k swing.

# Jul 25 2004 at 11:42 PM Rating: Decent
Yeah, the Siege Bats drop Fiend's Blood and not Beastman's Blood.
