Ecaflips in general
What sets the Ecaflips apart is their constant juggling with the dice of chance. Their spells can turn out to be incredible powerful or pitifully weak, and so Ecaflips have to evolve and gain experience while all the time being subject to the fickle winds of chance.
Regardless of the basic course you decide to take with your character, you'll find yourself using these fundamental spells again and again:
Perception, Clover, FELINE'S LEAP, WHEEL OF FORTUNE, SUMMONING CLAW, SMELL
These are your class spells, so you would do well to get to know them inside out.
Note on the Spell rekop : this spell is devastating on a critical hit, because it inflicts damage on all four elements. If used well, it can become an important part of a multi-elementary Ecaflip's strategy.
As for your close combat weapons, you'll mainly be using a Sword (100% damage) and also Daggers (95% damage). Having said this, nothing is stopping you trying out the other weapons available to you, but your damage will fall to 90%.
As for choosing your attack spells, this will depend on the element you decide to specialise in. The Earth Ecafips are the most common types because they are the easiest to play. You might also want to be original and go for another element.
