Iconset for Crimson Dawn

YOU CANNOT USE THESE, EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO!!! LOL!

This is the iconset I've created for Crimson Dawn.
I have not made the crystal icons, the rest are mine.
And now with this I'm going to explain a bit about how the obvious equipment icons work and mean along with other stuff.

Giant wall of text, beware!

- Red: The Virtue of Courage -
Courage affects your physical power (Attack). Every equipment bearing the red icon will further enhance the Strength (STR) boost your equipment provide. Doesn't affect your base STR you gain from leveling up.

- Blue: The Virtue of Faith -
Faith affects your magical power (Magic). Unlike Courage that boosts STR, Faith further enhances the Magic (MAG) boost your equipment provide. No effect on base MAG.

- Green: The Virtue of Mercy -
Mercy affects your survivability (Hit Points) and enhances your Hit Point (HP) boost gained from equipments. Again, no effect on base HP. Without HP boosting equipment Mercy is rendered useless.

- Cyan: The Virtue of Justice - (Or whatever that color is)
Justice is a special case as it's a combination of all the other virtues. But it provides a smaller boost when compared to other virtues. On the other hand, the items holding this virtue have many other beneficial special effects such as providing you with auto-abilities.

With being able to equip 8 pieces of equipment you can build a team that can easily survive enemy attacks and still be a few levels behind the "recommended" level.
Levels are only for gaining base stats.

There's always a catch. Every character only gets two types of weapons from each virtue and some characters lack a whole virtue from other pieces of equipment.
Janika, for example, only has weapons bearing the Courage or Faith virtue. Meaning she can't get the best boost from HP equipment.
Whereas Erian with her Courage and Mercy virtues, she can rack up some good HP and STR but therefore can't get the most out of magic boosting equipment.

- Elements -

There are eight elements: Fire, Ice, Bolt, Water, Earth, Air, Holy and Dark.

There is no element chart, rather the elements work better against different types of enemies. Studying the enemies' spells, surrounding and what they look like can easily show the enemies' weaknesses.

- Status Effects -

There are too many status effects for me to list here so here are the basic abnormalities: KO, Poison, Blind, Mute, Charm, Sleep, Stun and Weaken (shown in the upper right corner).

KO means death, Poison lowers HP each round, Blind makes your attacks hit less often, Mute seals your magical abilities, Charm is a deadly one because the character starts attacking its own allies, Sleep makes you more vulnerable to physical attacks but wake you up instantly, Stun makes the character unable to attack, Weaken lowers elemental resistance.

Stun can be inflicted only with a successful block (BLK). Blocking also reflects the damage back to the attacker as well as stunning them, making them unable to attack again.

- Skills and Battle related -

Every attack/magic belong to one the three categories:
Red, Courage for physical attacks.
Blue, Faith for magical attacks.
Green, Mercy for healing.

The roman numeral on the bottom right of the icon shows how many Kristallia turns are needed to use the skill.
The total number of Kristallia turns are shown on the upper side of the battle screen.
There is no MP or SP stat so skills do not use anything other than turns.

The total number of turns are based on where you are in the story and whether you have unlocked them. Each character provides a set number of turns adding up to the total # of turns. Each character can use as many or as little turns as possible.

Every character gains Essence Points (EP) after the battle. But EP is also gained from using Skills and Items.
EP is used for learning new skills and passive abilities.
Thus using a character helps them become stronger while those who do not act are just waiting to learn some new abilities!

Character only learn their unique skills.

That's all for today, folks! (:
