Inner Sight
Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None

circle41_yellow.gif Screen shot
circle41_yellow.gif Animation

The lush canopy of trees covering the Amazon homeland allows little sunlight to reach the ground. To better adapt to their environment, the Amazons have developed a technique whereby they can attune themselves to the life forces in the surrounding area and transfer these energies into a source of luminescence. This enables the Amazon and her companions to see her enemies in shadow and darkness.

Effect: Illuminates monsters and decreases their ability to defend themselves.

Fire Arrow
Required Level: 6
Prerequisites: None

circle41_yellow.gif Screen shot

To anyone familiar with their natural agility, it should came as no surprise that the training regimen of an Amazon warrior includes exercises specifically designed to avoid potentially devastating blows in combat.

Passive Effect: Grants a chance to move out of the way of a melee attack while standing still. When Dodging, the Amazon will lean back in the opposite direction of the attacker. Dodge will work while attacking.

Critical Strike

Critical Strike
Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None

circle41_yellow.gif Screen shot

Among the arsenal of techniques employed by the Amazon warrior is her ability to study opponents carefully and detect any weaknesses. She can then use these deficiencies in her adversary to strike at precisely those areas that will cause the greatest injuries.

Passive Effect: Grants a chance to do double physical damage with ranged and thrust attacks.

Critical Strike is a very useful and important skill for the Amazon because it will work with Javelins, Spears and Bows. Whether you head down either path or both, Critical Strike will be useful. The beauty of Critical Strike is that is a Passive skill so it is always will be "active" and it will combine with additional skills you may use such as Multiple Shot, Pierce and so on.

What are Thrust weapons?
Spears, Javelins, and Daggers.

Does the Amazon Critical Strike double all of the damage done, or only the base damage done without any double in elemental attacks?
The rules for what modifiers get applied when are very complex. In general, all bonus multipliers are added together and then applied (+50% and +20% = +70%) and then all bonus adds are then applied. Some magic modifiers affect the base damage of the weapon before the bonus multipliers - generally the non-elemental ones.

Slow Missiles

Slow Missiles
Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: Inner Sight

circle41_yellow.gif Screen shot

Through strict martial discipline and focus, an Amazon warrior can attune herself to her environment and the dangers around her, allowing her to react to these hazards with superhuman agility. One aspect of this ability is her knack for avoiding missile fire. Just as the Amazon must master the bow and javelin, she must also learn to defend herself from these same weapons. When an Amazon uses this ability, incoming projectiles appear to move slower than normal, enabling her to avoid them.

Effect: Slows the missiles of nearby enemies.

Slow missiles is a pretty funny spell. It allows you to run circles around enemy missile weapons and spells. This is also very useful against Multiple Shot Unique Monsters that are difficult to avoid. Slow missiles will also make it easier for other party members to avoid enemy missiles.

Avoid

Void
Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: Dodge

circle41_yellow.gif Screen shot

This ability hones the natural defensive ability of an Amazon. If she stands still, she can predict incoming missile attacks and elude them before they reach her. Most Amazon people can do this if all of their thoughts to the task, but only a warrior trained in this skill can do this even whilst caught unaware.

Passive Effect: Grants a chance to move out of the way of a missile attack while standing still.

Avoid will work while attacking.

Pentrate
Required Level: 18
Prerequisites: Critical Strike

The warriors of the Amazon Islands are legendary for their ability to strike their mark with ranged weapons. Warriors with this skill are more likely to hit targets at a distance.

Passive Effect: Additional chance to hit for ranged attacks.

Decoy

Decoy
Required Level: 24
Prerequisites: Inner Sight, Slow Missiles

circle41_yellow.gif Screen shot

Amazons derive another benefit while learning to fight in the rainforests of their homeland. They learn, through misdirection and deception, to fool attacking forces into thinking there is another Amazon nearby. This subterfuge causes enemies to waste time and energy hunting down false prey while the Amazon moves in for the kill.

Effect: Creates a duplicate image to distract enemies.

Decoy allows you to reduce the amount of damage you take. Create a Decoy then lead the monsters into attacking it. Then while the Monsters are attacking a fake version of you, kill them. Decoys are very useful against ranged attackers, especially monsters that are shooting out high damage spells such as Lightning. Decoys do not move or attack so it's pretty easy to tell which is the real and which is the fake unless you stand still.

Decoys have the same Life as the casting Amazon. Decoys will be destroyed if they take too much damage. The duration time for Decoy is only the case if the Decoy doesn't take enough damage to be killed during that time.

Evade
Required Level: 24
Prerequisites: Dodge, Avoid

circle41_yellow.gif None

A warrior skilled in Dodge and Avoid may eventually learn this additional ability. Once an Amazon has sharpened her defensive concentration to this level, she will eventually be able to dodge blows and other attacks while moving. This skill can also help keep the Amazon from harm as she moves out of the way of an exploding siege engine or avoids the wrath of an enraged Sorceress!

Passive Effect: Grants a chance to escape any attack while moving.

This skill also helps characters evade Area Effect Spells.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie
Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Inner Sight, Dodge, Slow Missiles, Avoid, Decoy, Evade

circle41_yellow.gif Screen shot

When a warrior has proven her devotion to Athulua through her brave deeds and exceptional skill in battle, the Goddess shows her favor by granting a spiritual emissary to aid the Amazon. These emissaries of Athulua are called Valkyrie, and they are the spirits of the greatest heroes from the Amazon people. The power to summon a Valkyrie is the greatest honor that an Amazon warrior can receive. It is believed this gift is a sign that your place beside the Goddess is assured when you pass from this world-perhaps even as a Valkyrie.

Effect: Summons a powerful Valkyrie warrior to fight by your side.

A Valkyrie is much more powerful than a Hireling and you can create one whenever you have enough mana. You can only have one Valkyrie at a time. Valkyries have a glow about them so it's easy to pick them out. Their attack is a Melee Spear attack. Valkyries can have other abilities as the result of the magic spears and armor they receive when they are created. These items are level 25 plus 3 per level. This means that they could potentially have almost any ability normally attached to a spear or armor.

Valkyries work very well with Ranged Amazon attacks such as Javelin, Bow, and Crossbows. A Valkyrie is great to use because like a Hireling, they will attract Melee Monsters which will reduce the number of Monsters that are directly attacking you. The Valkyrie will also draw fire from ranged Monsters which further reduce the amount of damage you're taking at one time. Valkyries are very powerful and become more powerful as you spend more skill points. Valkyries can also take advantage of Paladin Auras or any other beneficial party member skill or spell.

You can Heal the Valkyrie via a Town Healer, a Paladin's Prayer Aura or you can simply cast a new Valkyrie.

Pierce
Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Critical Strike, Penetrate

After long hours of training, an Amazon warrior's bow arm can develop tremendous amounts of strength. With this strength, and some additional training, the Amazon is able to maximize the power of her bow, enabling her to penetrate multiple targets with a single arrow.
