Confirmed Evie facts

• Hiccup wrote on 2010-10-28 18:13
  Lets get a list of all the confirmed stuff for Evie. I'll post unconfirmed stuff too in case people want to test them.
  
  -Her jump dodge is useful in boss battles (I've used it to escape the hammer plenty of times)
  -Firebolt has invincibility frames after explosion [Unconfirmed] (Maybe due to lag)
  
  -Firebolt/Magic Arrow knocks off Chieftan helm
  -Use your fireball and stamina recovery... it's not exclusive to the end boss fight. I see a lot of Evies being bad and just not using them until the very end and it's such a waste.
  
  -Take out something useless and bring feathers if your partying. If your soloing keep in repairs.
  -If you're partying with an Evie, don't just expect them to heal you.
  
  -Eagle Talon (glowy ball when running) only works if you're still moving when you use it. So... don't waste your stamina recovery by stopping first (I did this so much it's shameful).
  -Firebolt can be canceled with the jump-dodge-thingy.
  
  -Firebolt also isn't interruptable by enemies.
  -Her dodge can be used just after a Smash/Normal hit/Bolt to reduce how long she's immobile.
  
  -Evie cant grab enemies
  -If an enemy is directly behind you when Firebolt goes off they get hit
  
  -Firebolt+jump can be used as an anti-knockdown/stun without wasting your firebolt, but you'll take full damage. Useful in some situations though.
  -Magic Arrow has a small AOE.
  
  -Normal attacks can be useful getting unstuck when cornered by a mob/boss since you jump.

  Firebolt breaks the pot up there
  
  -Evie can't use Chain hooks.
  -Evie can pick up heavier objects earlier than Lann and Fiona.
  
  -If your physically holding an object it will turn into Erg, if its floating it will smash
  -The heal spell seems to have "unlimited" range (heals even if the Evie is at the start of an area, and the person being healed is at the end).
  
  -You also get healed before the beads reach the target, the delay from cast to heal seems to be the same regardless of distance.
  -Her normal attacks tend to hit in a circle around her

  All I've got right now, off to playing!

  I've hit his helm with magic arrow before, so I imagine firebolt could do the trick too.

  Use your fireball and stamina recovery... it's not exclusive to the end boss fight. I see a lot of Evies being bad and just not using them until the very end and it's such a waste. Fireball has a 30 second cooldown... you can use it on just about every group of mobs you come up against. So, don't be conservative.
  
  Take out something useless and bring feathers. You get Revive after Dethrone the White Tyrant if you're interested.
  
  If you're partying with an Evie, don't just expect them to heal you. They have to pay for that, it's not free. At least not until later when they get the Resenlian's Healing Rune Generator and can make as much as they want (that's kind of a PITA jerk around quest btw). But still, you should use your potions instead of depending on them. It costs them money and takes away like half their stamina bar per use.
  
  Eagle Talon (glowy ball when running) only works if you're still moving when you use it. So... don't waste your stamina recovery by stopping first (I did this so much it's shameful).
  
  Hm, what else...
  
  Fireball can be canceled with the jump-dodge-thingy. Fireball also isn't interruptable by enemies.
  
  Oh and...
  She has a really nice butt. :blood:

  Firebolt also takes off the Kobold Chieftain's arm shield thing. So I assume you can take it off with Magic Arrow as well. It was a fluke that I got it off, so I'm not sure what the timing is for it.
  
  And Tasha is right. :( The healing costs money, I just wish the other Evy's in parties would realize that too and HEAL THEMSELVES (or use pots!). Rawr. D<

  I noticed that Eagle Talon triggers when you let go of the right mouse button, instead of when you click it.

  Evie can't grab XD
  I was hoping to see some cool ES moves involving magic...
  like starwars force choke and other cool stuff i can imagine..
  Evie's version of sparta kick: levitates enemy to the open cliff.. then drop him down reallllly hard..
  Wall: forcehold enemy to wall then use mini fireball on hand and crush body/head (Like umm.. naruto's supermove thingy xD)
  
  If only they have a male mage badass char.. that would be fun... i would spam a ES move that does the dimensional hand out of nowhere and rip enemy apart.. (Dragon Age 2 trailer?)

  She takes a long time to pick an object up and the object smash takes forever and a half.

  True that.

  -Evie can't use Chain hooks
  -Evie can pick up objects Lann and Fiona cant

  
  
  No she can't.
• Hiccup wrote on 2010-10-29 03:28
  Yes she can. Those things on the boat (giant keg thingys) I picked em up with Evie can you do that with Lann/Fiona? As far as I know you cant.
  
  and I can't equip chain hooks on my evie

  No, she can't. That's based on STR for Lann/Fiona and INT for Evie. See here: Character Stats - Vindictus Wiki
  
  It's just easier for Evie to get 300+ INT than it is for Lann/Fiona to get 300+ str.

  So I'll just put earlier then Lann/Fiona :l
