Rockfall Psynergy series

Rockfall, Rockslide, and Avalanche are a series of Venus attack Psynergy featured throughout the Golden Sun series. It is available to the Samurai Class series. Hence Isaac and Felix can use this series of Psynergy if they are set with 4 Mars Djinn and 3 Jupiter Djinn. Jenna and Garet can become members of the Samurai class as well, if they set 4 Venus Djinn and 3 Jupiter Djinn.

This Psynergy series is visually identical to the Gaia Psynergy series in the GBA games but is different in Dark Dawn.



Psynergy spells
Rockfall: "Attack with a blast of rocks": This costs 5 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 30, and has a range of three targets. The ground beneath the enemy opens up and engulfs the enemy party in a wide reverse shower of Venus energy and medium-sized boulders. It is available at level 6.

Rockslide: “Attack with blast of rocks”: This costs 15 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 90, and has a range of five targets. The ground beneath the enemy opens up and engulfs the enemy party in a wider reverse shower of Venus energy and medium-large-sized boulders. It is available at level 24.

Avalanche: “Attack with blast of rocks.”: This costs 30 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 160, and has a range of five targets. The ground beneath the enemy opens up and engulfs the enemy party in a very large reverse shower of Venus energy and large boulders. It is available at level 54.

Analysis
When compared to the Gaia Psynergy series, this move is weaker and cheaper. Add to that the fact that the Samurai class series has more PP and a lower Venus elemental power than the Squire class series and this difference becomes more profound. It is therefore up to player preference and party composition as to which of these moves (and classes) are preferred to the other.

Trivia

 * The Gaia Psynergy series and the Rockfall Psynergy series are learned at the same levels (except the base one where Rockfall is learned at level 6 while Gaia is learned at level 7). They are also both notable for learning the final stage at level 54, the highest level to learn Psynergy. However, Rockfall is cheaper and weaker.
