Mana Shield now affects All Allies and gives a 1000 damage mitigation shield, which is weird because Mana Wall gives a 750 damage mitigation shield for All Allies. Mana Shield used to be the single target spell of Mana Wall. It is now a stronger AoE than its upgraded AoE version. For example, Echidna uses Mana Shield from its 2-4* form, but when evolved into Medusa, loses Mana Shield for Mana Wall, resulting in a worse skill.
Row attacks are Front Row/Back Row specific.
The new patch uses a buggy naming convention:
RANGE_51 skills are Front Row skills.
RANGE_61 skills are Back Row skills.
RANGE_71 skills are Column skills.
This means that Front Row attacks CANNOT attack the back row, and Back Row attacks CANNOT attack the front row. For example, Yasmin's Bloody Dance is a RANGE_51 skill. It will attack the front row. If you kill all the mercs in the front row, and use Bloody Dance, NOTHING will happen. No bleed and no damage to the back row. The worst part is: You still waste the SP!
Column attacks only hit the enemies IN YOUR COLUMN. Column attacks DO NOT WORK if there are no mercs alive in that column. For example, if you are on the very right side, your column attacks will only affect enemies on the very right side. If the enemies in that column are dead, your column attack will do no damage or statuses to any other column. The worst part is: You still waste the SP!
Row skills ignore Provoke. If a Defender in the front row use Provoke, and the opposing mercs use a RANGE_61 skill, the back row will be hit instead of the front row. If a Defender in the back row uses Provoke, and the opposing mercs use a RANGE_51 skill, the front row will be hit instead.
