First things first, Untold Story will be released on Steam at Midnight January 6 EST time! Almost there!
For my last post before release, I want to discuss a character I haven't said much about -- Tally.
Tally's class is Converter and her skill type is Conversions.
Tally is a very interesting and complex character. Let's start with her weapon. Tally uses Claws for her attacks. Her attack itself doesn't change, but each of her claws have special traits that can reflect and change how you utilize Tally in combat. For example, one set of Claws boosts her critical rate, while another will boost her Defenses.
What makes Tally unique is she herself can convert between offensive and defensive stats. Tally is more than capable of dealing strong damage--but she can also withstand both physical and skill attacks with ease. And since you can swap weapons mid-battle, she can play both these roles in the same battle, depending on what you need.
But what really makes Tally stand out is her skills: Conversions. Tally can alter the battlefield itself, creating weaknesses/resistances/status ailments that everyone must deal with. For example, her Damage Zone changes the battlefield, so that Physical hits deal 2x damage, and defensives stats are reduced. That means your attacks with hurt the enemy--but theirs will hurt your party.
It is a bit of a double-edged sword, but with knowledge of the enemies--knowing what they are capable and NOT capable of--you can easily take advantage of the battlefield in your favor.
