At the start of your adventure, your characters have a few Techs (Skills in the Remaster, Waza in Japanese) to use in battle. But there are in fact nearly 150 techs in all! The only way to gain more is to fight, and if a few conditions are met and you are lucky, your characters will devise (spark) new techs in the heat of battle, which your other characters will be able to learn in turn and time.




TECH SPARK CONDITIONS

Tech sparking occurs in battle (lightbulb!) and depends on 4 variables:
- your characters' Tech Sparking Type: each character belongs to one of 16 Types and each of these Types have a specific set of learnable techs: your character's Type determines which techs you can or cannot spark.
- the attack or tech used in battle: can it spark another tech? most techs can be sparked using a basic weapon attack but sometimes you must use a specific tech, or even a specific weapon (built-in techs).
- the Tech Spark Rank: each tech is more or less difficult to spark (high TSR = more difficult).
- the Tech LV of the enemy you are fighting: in general strong enemies have a high Tech LV and a high Tech LV allows you to have a chance to spark techs with a high TSR.

In a few and other words, to be able to have a chance to spark a tech:
1) your character must be able to learn it (adequate Type),
2) the attack you are using must be able to spark it (adequate attack),
3) the enemy's TechLV must ideally be the same as (or higher than) the Spark Rank of the tech (adequate power ratio).

Note that:
- when a tech is sparked in battle, no SP is consumed.
- after a tech is sparked, it will be available in the Dojo in the next generation (time jump) for all to learn, even if you remove it from the character's skill inventory or if the character is LP-killed.

For Evade Skills sparking, see the Evade Techs section.


TECH SPARK TYPES

One condition to spark a tech is that the character is able to spark it.
Characters are divided into 16 Spark Types (15 really, one is unused) that have different sets of sparkable techs.
In the tables below you will find the list of all sparkable techs, and which Types can or cannot spark them.

All Types except 07 (special type) can spark a good number of techs across all weapons (4-5 per weapon, built-in techs excepted).
But quickly said, some Types conveniently focus more on specific weapons:

Sword
 Types 10 & 14 (all techs between the two)
Greatsword
 Type 08 (all but one, Smash)
Axe
 Types 06 & 09 (all techs)
Club
 Type 05 (all techs)
Spear
 Types 04 & 09 (all techs)
Short Sword
 Type 03 (all techs)
Bow
 Type 02 (all techs)
Martial
 Types 00 & 01 (all techs between the two)

In other words and slightly more in detail:

Types 00 & 01
 All Martial Arts techs between the two (00: Quadrastrike / 01: Daze & Evil Crush)
Type 02
 All Bow techs
Type 03
 All Short Sword techs
Types 04
 All Spear techs
Type 05
 All Club techs
Types 06
 All Axe techs
Type 07
 Nearly no sparking ability
Type 08
 All Greatsword techs but one, Smash, and most Sword techs
Types 09
 All Axe and Spear techs
Type 10
 Most Sword, Greatsword and Short Sword techs
Type 11
 Focused on Sword and Greatsword
Type 13
 Most Sword (and some Spear) techs
Types 14
 Most Sword and some Greatsword techs
Types 15
 Only basic sparking set

Notes:
- SFC: Note that some techs and evades are bugged; not only do they not appear in the Dojo in the next generation but it also becomes impossible to spark them again.. They are: Berserk, Final Strike Evade, Staff Strike Evade, Hell Claw Evade.
- SFC: Life Steal has a TSR of 80 and cannot be sparked by regular means.
- Leon's Double Cut (which Gerard inherits) will not register in the Dojo unless you erase it from your Tech Inventory and spark it properly.
- The (Axe) Skills sparked while a Phantom Soldier (Amethyst Axe Phantom Chivalry) do not register in your Tech Inventory.


TECH SPARK TYPES: GENERAL TABLES

Below are tables in which you can see horizontally by which Type specific techs can be sparked, and vertically the techs that each Type can spark.
If you would rather have this information in a condensed form that shows which character belongs to which Type and can spark which techs, see below the Tech Lish by Type.

TECH SPARK DERIVATIONS


All sparkable techs derive from another tech.
Which tech(s) should be used to spark new techs?

In a nutshell, all techs can be sparked by using a basic weapon attack, except:

Sword (3) - Cross Cut --> use Knee Split
- Whirlwind --> use Knee Split
- Vacuum Slash --> use Knee Split or Whirlwind
Greatsword (1) - Dark Blade --> use Empty Blade
Axe (0) x
Mace (2) - Grand Slam --> use Fissure Strike
- Nutcracker --> use Bonecrusher or Twinstrike
Spear (1) - Divine Lancer --> use Aim
Epee (0) x
Bow (1) - *Starlight Arrows --> use Rain of Arrows
Martial (6) - Sobat --> use Kick
- Mei Lua Compasso --> use Kick or Sobat
- Jolt Counter --> use Counter
- Quadrastrike --> use Sobat
- Guanyin --> use Dual Gunner
- Berserk --> use Ki Meditation


TECH SPARK LISTS

The following lists show the sparking info present in the general Tech tables in a different fashion.
Here you can check which tech can spark (generate) which tech(s).
E.g. If you use Knee Split, you can spark Fillet (15), Cross Cut (14), Whirlwind (20) and Vacuum Slash (40).
The number between brackets is the Tech Spark Rank: the higher the number, the more difficult it is to spark that tech.
The code before the name (e.g. '0F: Knee Split') is the tech ID code, for reference only.
# means that this is the basic attack of this specific weapon.
* means that this is a built-in tech of a specific weapon.
For built-in techs, see also the Items section.

TECH SPARK PROBABILITY


Concretely, supposing that your character can learn the tech (= that it is on their Type Spark List) and that the attack used in battle can spark the tech, the probability of sparking a tech will then be determined by the difference between the target's TechLV and the Tech's Spark Rank, like so:

TechLV - TSRSpark Chance (%)
6+9.8
4 or 59.41
2 or 38.63
17.84
020.4
-15.1
-22.35
-31.57
-40.78
-50.39
-6-0

From which you may infer that while the Spark Chance is good (7~9%) when you fight strong enemies, it is even better to battle monsters that have a TechLV identical to the TSR of the tech you want to spark (20%).

Exceptions:
1) For Berserk, TechLV = the average of your own Skill LVs, i.e. = (SW+AX+SP+BW+MA)/5.
2) When the character is Charmed and attacks one of their own, TechLV = the average of the target's Skill LVs.
3) For 3 techs, the TechLV is not that of the target or your own, but it follows complex rules. This concerns:
・Haphazard Arrow --> Rain of Arrows (16) / Barrage Shot (25)
・Rain of Arrows --> *Starlight Arrows (37)
For these 3 cases, the relevant TechLV is:
- that of target of the character playing first this turn if the character trying to spark the tech plays later,
- or that of the enemy's would-be target if the character trying to spark the tech plays first this turn, EXCEPT if the enemy uses an imposed tech (usually at T1) or a tech (not a spell) that requires no targeting (AoE techs like Poison Mist, Maelstrom.. or techs on self like Counter, Berserk..) when the relevant TechLV becomes weird (e.g. = 29 vs. Guardian's T1 Poison Mist).
It can be problematic for *Starlight Arrows even though all characters can spark it, but it can be remedied to by choosing an adequate enemy (among the matching TechLV 37 enemies, Dark Dragon is the most convenient) and by using formations that impose a specific turn order (like Dragon Stance): e.g. put the Starlight Arrows sparker in second position and have a fast Emperor play first and attack the Dark Dragon.
For a solo playthrough, you can spark Rain of Arrows and Barrage Shot more easily vs. the convenient Guardian at T1, but sparking Starlight Arrows is a problem (possibly not worth the hassle) that can only be solved by your MC getting strong enough, or the enemy targeting one of their own (buff/healing or if Confused) who has an adequate TechLV.
Note that another bug occurs during your battle with Kzinssie 1, the relevant TechLV apparently becomes 29 when Kzinssie's prioritarily targets the Emperor with a Sword tech and the Haphazard Arrow user plays first, making Rain of Arrows and Barrage Shot much easier to spark. (Possibly the reason these two techs can be sparked more easily in the Sealed Cave at the very start too.)


Tech Spark Rank & Enemy TechLV: Best Enemy Matches

Here are the best (exact whenever possible) matches to spark the most difficult techs.
I have listed mostly the easier way to spark each tech, e.g. for Tree Cleaver, only via Time Lapse (36), not via the basic axe attack (40) which is nevertheless also possible.

Abbreviations:
TSR= Tech Spark Rank, Sw = Sword, GSw = Greatsword, Ax = Axe, Mc = Mace, Sp = Spear, SSw = Short Sword, Bw = Bow, MA = Martial Arts.

Good Sparking Spots

A few fixed enemies can come in handy to spark good techs early:
- Mimic (TechLV 9, 88 TP) respawn in Kzinssie's Mansion if you save your game, reset & reload (SFC only).
- Deep One (TechLV 19, 406 TP) in the Avalon Sewers does not respawn but you can spark and flee: redo as many times as you want.
- Termite Soldier (TechLV 23, 232 TP): the grey Insects in the Termite Den (Savannah). Appear as long as you do not defeat Queen.
- Sandbiter (TechLV 24, 510 TP), the red Serpent enemies in Melu Desert. Careful, though (HP/2 in the desert).
- Giant (TechLV 25, 3600 TP) in the Gelid Ruins.
- Pyro Hydra (TechLV 31, 1109 TP) respawns in the Savannah if you do not take the Eggshell during the mini-quest for the Mermaid Potion (talk to the Hunter again). The Guardian in Eirunep Shrine is also TechLV 31 (for 2500 TP).
- Dark Dragon (TechLV 35, 7777 TP) respawns at will in the Firn Ruins (Austeros) and is accessorily and unarguably the most profitable TP farm.
- Albion (TechLV 43, 3949 TP) appears at about 800 battles, on Lake Wyringa (Steppe / Melu) for example.

SFC only:
- Nighthead (TechLV 28, 1120 TP) can appear with Frog King in Watchman Nest B1.
- Probably due to a bug, Rain of Arrows and Barrage Shot are much easier to spark in the Sealed Cave at the beginning (and during your first encounter with Kzinssie, see the Notes of the previous section).
