Go to Espio's post (it's two post down)

[GCoffee]

As usual balancing by making EVERYONE better but NOBODY worse. Seriously? How about buffing those enemies for once or something at least?

It will be interesting to see the new technics.

Sa- doesn't look very impressive. It's looks like ra except as a sphere. Does it hit multiple points on its own?

If they want to buff ranger types, they should just give them explosive rounds.

I think the Sa-techs might be a game-changer for techers actually o.o They're slow-moving, persistent AoEs, so they may not hit multiple points, but they do hit the same target multiple times. They can also hit a target while the techer is doing something else. Think of them as mini EX-traps.

Sazonde in particular looks interesting because it launches. Imagine a Guntecher using Sazonde to juggle a pair of Magashis, then using cards to take them out while they're being bounced up and down, or an Acrotecher using Sazonde on a SEED-Vitace to keep it stunlocked so it doesn't do that annoying Jellen spin, then finishing it with Hikai.

On the Sa-series of TECHNICs, I feel I should point out that they will differ from how they worked in Infinity. This was pointed out last week in the official JP PSU Twitter feed (you can read about it here: http://forum.psupedia.info/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1573). No specifics were given, but maybe another tweet will come across before this update hits to let us know how they'll work.

Looking at the small screenshots on the official site, it looks like all the Sa-techs may be more like Samegid was in Infinity.

Don't feel like posting screenshots, so here's what you need for the new techs in text.

Sa-Barta: 1 x Blank Disc, 30 x Rayspheres
Sa-Zonde: 1 x Blank Disc, 30 x Zonspheres, 1 x Nos-Zonde
Sa-Megid: 1 x Blank Disc, 30 x Megispheres, 1 x Megid, 1 x Nos-Megid

EDIT:
Well I'm on free course and only were able to get Sa-megid. It's a stationary orb that doesn't seem to do any damage (not even 1s popping up) only has the confuse status effect. In fact, it doesn't even have a damage modifier! You only gain exp on it is if it manages to inflict the confuse status (Confuse Lv. 2 at level 1).
