As an RPG, players can level up their characters, equip them with new weapons and armor, and even choose from a collection of powerful spells and abilities. As characters level up, they’ll unlock a range of potent skills to choose from, but some prove far more useful than others when it comes to the game’s more challenging battles. Here are some of the best to pick.
10Freeze
Freeze is one of the first skills Melanie learns after joining the player’s party early in the game. It’s one of the stronger attacks she can learn,adding an additional four points to her attackwhen calculating damage. It’s also one of only twowater-elementattacks players have access to in the entire game.
Freeze’s most useful aspect, though, is its ability toinflict the frozen statuseffect on enemy monsters. Freeze inVoC: The Isle Dragon Roarsis similar to the same effect in the Pokemon series in that it immobilizes enemies; however, it has the added effect of doubling the damage of the player’s next attack on the afflicted enemy.
9Roundhouse
Roundhouse is one of the few attacks players will have access to that canhit multiple enemies, and because of Mar’s high attack stat, this attack can dish out some serious damage. Groups of enemies can be wiped out with a single hit of Roundhouse.
Additionally, because it only costs two gems to activate, Roundhouse is one of the more powerful, versatile attacks that doesn’t require players to stockpile gems.Pairing it with Melanie’s Charge Spellattack makes Roundhouse a great skill forgrinding against lower-level enemies.
8Poison Arrow
Poison Arrow is one of Ridis’s best skills and a reliable attack well into the later portions of the game. As one of the few abilities in the game that can inflict a status effect, it’s incredibly useful to have equipped, and it’s theonly player skill that can inflict poison.
Additionally, Poison Arrow is adark-element attackthat, while not as useful early on, becomes almost necessary as players reach the end of the game. Many of the light-affiliated enemiesin the final dungeonhave a weakness to dark damage that Ridis can easily exploit with Poison Arrow.
7Crystal Arrow
Ridis’s attacks are the best for inflicting status effects, and Crystal Arrow is no exception. While it might not receive the same damage bonus as Melanie’s Freeze skill, Crystal Arrow sports alower dice roll number for inflicting the extremely useful frozen effecton enemies.

Since Crystal Arrow bears the sametwo-gem activation priceas Freeze, some players may be more inclined to rely on the more powerful of the two abilities. But the better chance of inflicting frozen on enemies makes Crystal Arrow just as, if not more, reliable.
6Eulogy
Healing is often a tricky thing to navigate inVoC: The Isle Dragon Roars, especially when considering the gem cost. While the main hero can heal large quantities with Heal+, onlyRidis and Bruno have the ability to heal multiple allies at once.
Ridis’s Eulogy skill is the more efficient skill to equip, though, as it only costs two gems to use and canheal up to 15 points of healthwith a critical hit. Its cost-effective, team-wide healing capabilities make it a lifesaver when trying to take down a tough boss.
5Demonic Dance
Mar has some ofthe highest stats of any party member in the game, with a large health pool and powerful attacks that can take out an entire enemy squad with one hit. But Mar also makes an excellent defender, and Demonic Dance makes her even more effective.
Demonic Dance essentially works as the taunt ability that can be found in many other RPGs. Itdraws the enemy’s attention for a single turn, forcing them to attack Marwith their next strike regardless of what it might be. It’s a good skill to use when Mar is paired with a low-defense teammate, like Melanie.
4Zephyr
Zephyr is one of the earlier spells Melanie learns, and one of the most useful purely based on its attack potential. It canhit enemies up to five timeswith a critical hit and deals out reliable damage with almost every cast.

It also happens to be the only skill in the entire game that dealswind damage, a surprising limitation that makes Melanie a necessary active party member. Numerous humanoid enemies in the overworld are weak to wind, and can be tough to take down without Zephyr handy.
3Charge Spell
Melanie is a powerhouse of a character, dishing out massive damage with her wide variety of spells and targeting every enemy weakness with her elemental powers. But Melanie has one skill that can alsomake her a powerful support character: Charge Spell.
Instead of magic points or MP, players inVoC: The Isle Dragon Roarsuse gems to activate their special abilities. Players earn a new gem at the beginning of each turn, but Charge Spell allows Melanie togenerate two more gems on her turn instead of using any. This allows players to set up some of the costlier skills with ease.
2Triblade
Any good RPGgives its main character a super attack to pull out when the situation is dire. ForVoC: The Isle Dragon Roars,that attack is Triblade. There are no frills here, just a straightforward attack boost.
The Hero lashes out withseveral sword strikes followed by one, all-powerful slashthat can wipe out a boss in a single hit. It dealsthree times the Hero’s current attack powerin a single move, though it does cost three gems to activate.
1Guardian
Keeping the party alive is a priority in any RPG, andVoC: The Isle Dragon Roarsprovides players with a range of moves to buff the team’s stats to help them stay on their feet. One of the best is the Hero’s ability, Guardian, whichbuffs the entire team’s defense for several turns.
While Guardian does cost three gems to use, using it can mean the difference between staying alive for the next attack and having to start over from the last save. The Hero also learns Guardian as his last skill, which is fortunate timing as many late-game enemies utilize party-wide attacks.
