So, I recently noticed Kiai and Deflect (fundamentals) didn't take an action to perform.
I was wondering if defensive abilities gained from fighting styles (Resilience, Evasion, Composure, Meneuvers, Reserves, etc.) did take an action to perform, as the page doesn't specify itself.

Don't think so. At least in the battles that I've seen they don't take an answer. Wait for an official answer though.

True. But things like Beserker, or something like that, does not. :)

But the most important question (for me at least); does Resilience use an action?

Its the exact same thing. Just switch block with dodge and you got resilience over evasion.

So yes

+250 vit and the special ability Empowerment which allows you to empower 1 ki attack an extra 5% and can be used once per battle.


Does Empowerment actually do anything? I can't see why I would ever want to spend more Ki%. What does that mean? Does the damage go up? Can empowered beams be deflected?

Empowerment helps advanced and finisher techniques, PL-wise.

Well, Deflect is also some kind of magnified block, yet it doesn't use an action.
Sorry for double post, I just need to clarify this.

There is only one move that actually does nothing for you out of all the fighting styles and that is "Strongside".

Strongside raises your stamina by 25% for 3 actions once per battle.

That is a pointless move, it would only prove to hinder you in a fight. Sure you would gain 25% to your Stamina but none of your ki would come back.

It would increase your power of a Ki attack, but it would not increase by that much unless your Stamina is very high when the tech was used.

As a third tier tech it should give you something more then the first few techs like 25% extra ki to use for the fight or increase your Stamina by 25% for the entire battle after its use.

I actually agree. Increasing Stamina by a percentage doesn't really do anything.

Lets you blow up to 25% of ki in 3 turns? Sounds fun.

You can blow 100% of your Ki in three actions, Alain without a tech. Besides where in that description did it say that you get to increase your Ki by 25%? I could have sworn it said Stamina.

And to answer your future question, No adding 25% to your stamina does not add anything to your Ki. There could be a tech to increase your Stamina by one million and it would still not change how much out of 100% of Ki you would have.

For a third tier tech strongside does not even come close to making the cut. Here are some other third tier techs:

Beserker. Once per battle Beserker raises your strength by +20% for 3 actions.

Raising your strength means you are going to do more damage.

Zekmant Stance Increases toughness and vitality by +10% for the next 5 attacks made against you. Can be learned with another stance. Can be used once per battle

Not only is that making you slightly stronger but it is providing you with improved defense.

Composure raises your speed by 25% for 3 actions once per battle.

Speed is a very important part of battle and this tech can give you that little bit more you need to be faster then your opponent when it really matters.

Reserves which restores 20% of your Ki instantly and can be used once per battle.

This must be the tech you were referring to, Alain.

I think that he's right though; Stamina doesn't do anything. At all. In fact, the less stamina you have the better because then less will be subtracted from your Power Level every time you use a ki attack.
