Lacheus

[fred212]

Hey first I'm new second do you know if this ability is good (lacheus, for bows) and is it better in an archer or on who is it better and how do i get the bow Crescente

[Knight of Lodis]

Basically archers are bad and this ability is not meant for them. You can give it to anyone who uses a bow and it will work fine. I gave it to Orson as an example. It is not nearly as strong as the other ones. The Crescente bow can only be obtained through getting Glycinia. You only can get her at one point in the game. If you wait till just before finishing the game you can recruit her with the bow in hand. Quoted from the Secrets section:

ok um with the right weapons and the right user could it be as strong as the other abilities like the Atropos ?
and on what players do you recommend the bow i know the hawkmans ae good with it but in my 5 squad (for quests) i have 4 swordmasters and 1 hawkman and the hawkman has the anbicion sword? should i equip a bow instead of it or use orson instead

[Knight of Lodis]

You can give it to a hawkman and give it a bow. Lacheus just is not as strong as the other two but it does decent damage. Bows just never do the amount of damage that spells and swords/spears can do.

I see and where do i find the other ability cause i only have 2 (lacheus,antropos)?

[koichimaru]

You get Atropos, the sword ability, from Margaret, Lachesis from the 4th Quest, and Clotho from the 5th quest. Clotho hits 2 spaces in front of the user, and is only usable with spears and thrusting swords.

Little Tidbit: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos are the names of the fates. Clotho is past, Lachesis is present, and Atropos is future. Also, when fighting in Ostorea Castle Crypt, if you look at the statues in the recesses on the wall, you'll see the fates, with Atropos smashed. Of course, that last bit could be wrong, as the only reason I beleive them to be the fates is because there are 3 of them, and one of them has a distaff, which was what Clotho used to spin a thread of life when a person was born.
