Description

Trembling Earth

Till the end of the earth (lvl 2, adds an eruption and increases damage dealt by 20%)

Death from the depths (lvl 12, doubles the range of the eruptions and damage dealt by 10%)

Cataclysm (lvl 12, the speed of eruptions increased by a half and damage by 10%)

Gaia's gasp (lvl 20, decreases energy cost by 25%)

Life sharing (lvl 33, provides 6% chances of obtaining a small health orb)

Vengeance (lvl 33, doubles the chance of a critical hit)

this attack allows you to launch several eruption waves that release spikes from below the ground which may, apart from damage dealt, knock down the enemies. It is best against the opponents running in front of the player.

Leech swarm (lvl 3)

Deadly wasp (lvl 7, increases damage by 15% and range by 30%)

Poisonous stings (lvl 14, doubles the chance of a critical hit)

Vampiric locust (lvl 14, increases damage by 15% and haling by 50%)

Life leak (lvl 25, increases damage by 10% and adds 6% chances of obtaining a small health orb, after a hit)

Ancient pestilence (lvl 37, increases the range of the projectile by 30%, and damage by 10%)

Spoiled crops (lvl 37, increases the speed of the projectile by a half, and damage dealt by 20%)

the character sends out an orb that returns after a while and heals her. Along its way, the Leech Swarm deals damage to the enemies that the orb passes by but, due to the short range and duration, the attack is not too powerful and its main asset is restoring a small amount of health points to the character.

Poisonous swipe (lvl 5)

Experienced warrior (lvl 11, decreases energy cost by 25%)

No exit (lvl 17, increases range by 30% and damage by 10%)

Sense weakness (lvl 17, increases chance of a critical hit by 100%)

Swift slash (lvl 26 the first swipe that is performed, in this attack, deals 80% more damage)

Powerful execution (lvl 39, the second swipe repels the enemy and deals increased damage by 60%)

Quick regenerate (lvl 39, for the attacks that that do not connect, you receive back a half of the energy cost)

Alithea performs two powerful swings that deal considerable damage, over a relatively small area. The Powerful execution should definitely be the last upgrade that you pick - along with the preceding one, it makes your attacks even more powerful, which makes them ideal against small groups of strong enemies.

Choking fumes (lvl 8)

Curare (lvl 15, 66% chance of stunning the enemy)

Crust crack (lvl 22, the range of the attack increased by 30%, damage by 10%)

Sulfur fumes (lvl 22, decreases cost in energy by 20% and increases damage by 10%)

Chemical reaction (lvl 31, 6% chance of obtaining a small health orb after a hit)

Arsenic (lvl 42, extends duration of the stun by a half and increases damage by 10%)

Cyanide (lvl 42, increases damage after a critical hit by 80%)

In front of your character, there appears a small crack and the enemies within its reach receive damage. Because it is a short-ranged attack, it is useless against larger groups of enemies, because it will simply be unable to encompass them all with its effect. The main upside here is the chance of stunning the enemies but, in my opinion, it is too little to make this attack that much useful. Also, the fact the fact that the character leaps back, each time she uses Choking fumes, with a strange battle cry may also be irritating.

Description

Earthquake

Friend of earth (lvl 4, decreases energy cost by 20%, increases damage by 10%)

Rift (lvl 13, increases damage by 30%)

Terror from the deep (lvl 13, speed of movement of the character, during the attack, is increased by 40%)

Guardian of the earth (lvl 21, increases damage by 10% and the character receives lower damage, during the attack, by a half)

The end of time (lvl 32, increases damage by 10% and the range of the eruption by 30%)

Apocalypse (lvl 32, increases range by 30% and damage by 10%)

With your energy bar full, you can launch quite a few attacks, during which the character quickly massacres the enemies. The initially low damage can be raised, thanks to which this attack becomes deadly and will allow you to deal with hordes of enemies, in a blink of the eye.

Crystal rift (lvl 2)

Funnel (lvl 10, extends the duration of the attack by 35%)

Friend of Ankaria (lvl 18%, each spike provides a 6% chance of obtaining a small health orb, after a hit)

the knowledge of earth (lvl 18, increases chances of critical hit by 100%)

Geologic gift (lvl 27, the energy cost decreased by 35%)

Rift (lvl 36, increases the range of the spikes by 30%)

Wrath of the earth (lvl 36, times between the appearance of the successive spikes shorter by 25%)

A good attack - after you use over the area that you choose, for quite a while, there appear deadly spikes. The duration and decent range make up for low damage.

thorn trap (lvl 6)

Increased growth (lvl 16, increases the duration of the attack by 35%)

Photosynthesis (lvl 23, decreases the energy cost by 35%)

Retrieval (lvl 23, increases range by 30%)

Tearing thorns (lvl 29, damage after a critical hit higher by 80%)

Swollen stem (lvl 44, the attack ends in an explosion that deals additional damage)

Explosion (lvl 44, doubles damage and, at the same time, cuts down the duration of the attack by a half)

IN the spot pointed to, by the character, there appears a circle, within which all of the enemies take damage. This is an attack that allows to hold the enemies in a specific spot (or at least to slow them down). Still, the Crystal Rift seems to be a better choice.
