About
Biorhythm is an in-game mechanism that affects all characters on the
battlefield. Depending on a character's Biorhythm status, they may
receive a bonus or penalty to Hit, Avoid, Skill activation and chance
of finding hidden items.
Biorhythm status is indicated by either the red or green arrow next
to a character's portrait or the sine wave in the Relations/Biorhythm
section of a character's status screen. The higher the indicator, the
better the Biorhythm status. Conversely, the lower the indicator, the
worse the Biorhythm status. The Biorhythm status changes as the chapter
progresses (see later).
The different status and their effects are as follows:
- Best: +10 Hit, +10 Avoid, +10% Skill activation, +20% Chance of
finding hidden items
- Good: +5 Hit, +5 Avoid, +5% Skill activation, +10% Chance of
finding hidden items
- Normal: No effect
- Bad: -5 Hit, -5 Avoid, -5% Skill activation, -10% Chance of
finding hidden items
- Worst: -10 Hit, -10 Avoid, -10% Skill activation, -20% Chance of
finding hidden items
Biorhythm status can also be affected by the Bliss and Sorrow chants
that Herons can learn, as well as the Matrona staff.
Types of sine waves
The Biorhythm status varies as the number of turns pass, and it follows
the sine wave that a character has. Each character possesses one of 10
different wave types (2 of which are reserved for NPCs).
Each sine wave has a 25 turn cycle. Once the turn number goes over 25,
the cycle repeats from the beginning. Also, the wave's starting point
is random and changes at the start of each chapter (eg. when you start
the chapter, one character's wave might start on "Turn 10", while
another's might start on "Turn 21").
