Vertical Fixed and Vertical Tolerance

[Krendall]

I've searched here and I've checked the wiki, but I'm still not sure what the difference is between Vertical Fixed and Vertical Tolerance and when I should or shouldn't have them checked. Could someone please explain them to me?

Vertical Tolerance/Threshold
You can only target so much higher or lower. Limited by the "Vertical" Variable.

Example with Vertical Tolerance: Mimic Daravon
Example without: Stasis Sword (you can target at any height)



Vertical Fixed
Panels can only be affected based on the caster's tile height.

Examples with Vertical Fixed: Earth Slash, Holy Explosion
Examples without: Pretty much anything else

Okay, then another question:
Lightning Stab has a default Vertical of 1 but neither Vertical Tolerance or Vertical Fixed are checked. What effect does the Vertical have on the move?

[Xifanie]

Only on the AoE (Area of Effect), meaning adjacent tiles to the one you target.
If you target a tile with 4h, it will also effect adjacent tiles with 3h to 5h.

Ah, okay. I think I get it now. Thank you.
