Slots
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Slots is an ability that appears in several games in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually associated with the Gambler class. Slots works like a slot machine, and various effects would happen when certain combinations were made.
[edit] Appearances
[edit] Final Fantasy VI
Setzer Gabbiani, the token Gambler, uses Slots as his special ability. Slots are often rigged against the player, but players can "de-rig" Slots so that they won't. The simplest way to do this is to use an Echo Screen. All Slots are magical. A list of Slot abilities follows:
[edit] Any Losing Combination: Lagomorph (Mysidian Rabbit)
Lagomorph restores a small amount of HP to all allies and recovers from Dark, Poison, and Sleep. Its Spell Power is 10.
[edit] Three Diamonds: 7-Flush (Prismatic Flash)
7-Flush deals non-elemental magic damage to all opponents. Its Spell Power is 84, and it is unblockable.
[edit] Three Chocobos: Chocobop (Chocobo Stampede)
Chocobop deals non-elemental magic damage to all opponents. Its Spell Power is 36, it is unblockable, and it ignores defense and Split Damage. It cannot hit flying opponents.
[edit] Three Airships: H-Bomb (Dive Bomb)
H-Bomb deals non-elemental magic damage to all opponents. Its Spell Power is 130, and it is unblockable.
[edit] Three Dragons: Sun Flare (Mega Flare)
Sun Flare summons Bahamut.
[edit] Three Bars: Random Summon
[edit] 7-7-Bar: Joker Doom (Bad version)
The bad version of Joker Doom kills all allies. It is unblockable and ignores instant death immunity. Strago learns L.5 Doom from this Slot.
[edit] Three 7s: Joker Doom (Good version)
The good version of Joker Doom kills all enemies. It is unblockable and ignores instant death immunity and the undead reversion. Strago learns L.5 Doom from this Slot.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII
Cait Sith uses Slots as his Level 2 Limit Break.
Tifa Lockhart's Limit Break uses a series of slots to determine damage and success of each hit.
[edit] Final Fantasy VIII
Selphie Tilmitt uses Slots as her Limit Break.
Slot randomly chooses a spell and the amount of times it will be casted. Slots do not use up any stocked magic.
Selphie also has four special spells only available via Slots:
- Full-Cure completely restores the party's HP and removes all status ailments.
- Wall casts Protect and Shell on the entire party.
- Rapture causes wings to appear and remove enemies from the battlefield. This would not work on heavy, Earth-bound enemies.
- The End destroys almost any enemy, including Omega Weapon; the only boss immune to this is Ultimecia, who is the game's Final Boss.
[edit] Final Fantasy X
Wakka uses Slots as his Overdrive. His Slots are easier to stop than Setzer's or Cait Sith's. The faster it's completed, the more damage it does. Wakka gains new "Reels" as a random prize in Blitzball tournaments and leagues. Each Reel has a different ability.
[edit] Element Reels
Wakka spins the slots, with the four magical elements: Water, Fire, Thunder and Ice. If three similar icons (I.e Fire-Fire-Fire) were lined up, Wakka would unleash a fire-elemental Blitzball attack all enemies with full damage. If two out of three were the same, Wakka would unleash one attack at random with this element. If all three were different, Wakka would just attack at random, but with more attack power than a normal attack.
[edit] Attack Reels
Wakka spins the slots, this time with various attack multipliers (1 Hit, 2 Hit as well as a Miss slot). The multipliers that are stopped determine how many attacks take place; for instance, If Wakka lines up 1 Hit, 1 Hit, 2 Hit, he would attack the enemy 4 times. If the symbols lined up are all the same, the attack is doubled; ie, three 2 Hits will attack 12 times (6 attacks x2). Wakka can win this Reel in a Blitzball Tournament.
[edit] Status Reels
Wakka spins the slots, with many negative status effects (Poison, Sleep, etc.). A status effect would only occur if three of the same status effect slots were lined up. Wakka can win this Reel in a Blitzball League after appearing in 250 battles.
[edit] Aurochs Reels
Wakka spins the slots, with random combinations of the Attack and Status Reels. If the three Aurochs symbols were lined up, Wakka would unleash a huge non-elemental, non-status attack, according to the current number of original Aurochs on your Blitzball team (I.e, if you have Tidus and Botta on your team, two would appear). Wakka can win this Reel in a Blitzball Tournament after appearing in 450 battles.
[edit] Final Fantasy X-2
The Lady Luck dress sphere uses slots as one of its combat abilities. This ability can create most if not all of the negative status effects for the enemy, cause significant damage, but also has a very real potential to heavily damage if not kill the player.
