Sabre Dance

Sabre Dance (ダンスナイフ, Dance Knife) is a stand-alone Venus Psynergy introduced in Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

Basic Characteristics
Sabre Dance is an offensive, single-target Psynergy that is Attack-dependent, meaning characters with higher Attack ratings will deal more damage with these attacks. In addition, the caster's Venus Power and the target's Defense and Venus Resistance all factor into the damage dealt.

Visually, Sabre Dance features a group of swords spiraling up from the ground and striking the target.

Availability
Sabre Dance is available to the Pierrot class series, an Item-dependent class attainable by equipping a Mysterious Card onto an Adept. Currently, the Mysterious Card can only be found in The Lost Age; thus, only the eight playable Adepts from that game can access Sabre Dance. Sabre Dance is learned at Level 10.

Analysis
General: Sabre Dance is one of the Pierrot's most reliable abilities. Most of the class's other offensive options are subject to the limitations on elemental Power and Resistance. On the other hand, Sabre Dance's Attack-based power means it will grow stronger over the course of the game. In addition, it has a fairly low PP cost, useful when considering the Pierrot's lower PP multiplier. If using the Pierrot class, Sabre Dance is essential for allowing the Pierrot to inflict higher damage during boss battles.

By Game
Golden Sun: The Lost Age: Due to unequal Djinn distribution, the Pierrot class is often taken advantage of, since prevents class changes when unleashing Djinn. Sabre Dance is learned fairly early, and can be an alternative to Ragnarok, due to its high damage multiplier. While there are no Venus-weak bosses to truly take advantage of Sabre Dance, none have high Resistance, making Sabre Dance a useful option.
