Sphere Strike


Sphere Strike is the third weakest PWS in the game (before Flashing Blade and Icicle Disaster). It is a single-hitting attack and adds very little energy to the gauge, so it is best used first in a PWS chain. It could theoretically be used as a fourth PWS to maximize its damage, but almost any other PWS would be more effective in that position.

Miscellaneous

  • Badrach is the only character to say "deathblow" to introduce his PWS; most other Einherjar say "finishing strike".
  • Sphere Strike was censored in the English version of the game. In the Japanese version, Badrach smoked, and Sphere Strike involved him dropping ash from his cigarette around the enemy, then setting it on fire by throwing the stub. The smoking was edited from the English version: Badrach appears to drop gunpowder around the enemy instead, then ignites it with his gun.
