Setzer's Slot Ability

Setzer, the gambler and ace pilot, brings a unique and potentially game-changing ability to your party: Slots. This command allows Setzer to spin a slot machine, with the outcome determining the effect. The results can range from devastating attacks that hit all enemies to beneficial buffs for your party, or even detrimental outcomes. Mastering Setzer's Slots requires understanding the different combinations and their potential impact.

When Setzer uses the Slots command, three reels will spin, each displaying different symbols. The combination of these symbols determines the outcome. The most sought-after combination is three '7's, which triggers the powerful Seven Stars attack, dealing massive damage to all enemies. Other combinations can inflict status effects, heal the party, or even cause a game over for the enemy party.

Here are some of the key outcomes of Setzer's Slots:

  • Three 7s: Triggers Seven Stars, a powerful attack that deals significant damage to all enemies.
  • Three Bars: Triggers Doom, which inflicts Instant Death on all enemies.
  • Three Bells: Triggers Holy, a powerful holy elemental attack.
  • Three Cherries: Triggers HP Drain, healing Setzer and damaging enemies.
  • Three Watermelons: Triggers HP Restore, fully healing the party.
  • Three Grapes: Triggers MP Restore, fully restoring the party's MP.
  • Three Oranges: Triggers Defense Up, boosting the party's defense.
  • Three Plums: Triggers Attack Up, boosting the party's attack.
  • Three Apples: Triggers Random Effect, which can be beneficial or detrimental.
  • Three Blue Flowers: Triggers Game Over, instantly ending the battle for the enemy party.
Reel Combination Ability Triggered Effect
7-7-7 Seven Stars Massive damage to all enemies
Bar-Bar-Bar Doom Instant Death to all enemies
Bell-Bell-Bell Holy Holy elemental attack
Cherry-Cherry-Cherry HP Drain Heals Setzer, damages enemies
Flower-Flower-Flower Game Over Ends battle for enemies

While the Slots ability is largely based on luck, understanding the potential outcomes allows for strategic use. If you're in a tough fight, hoping for three Bars or three Flowers can be a viable, albeit risky, strategy. Setzer is best utilized when his Slots can be leveraged for maximum impact, especially against groups of enemies or powerful bosses.
