Final Fantasy Hacktics

Request: Someone give me a list of skills which are 100% going to make it in so I can possibly make videos and assign some spell effects to them?

This list is going by what Lasting Dawn himself has seemed to declare test worthy and since you would have more correspondence with him than I would....

Most seem to be of the magical nature rather than the physical nature:

Gambler's Skills

(Blind/Poison/Don't Move/Addle/Berserk)

Ace of Spades- Deals high damage, Very low chance to cause instant death.

Dice Off: Range 1, area 1, linear attack, random fire, deals light-moderate non-elemental magical damage 1-6 times randomly between the gambler and his target.
