Ode Tempest Pact Overview

Ode Tempest is one of the Pacts (classes) in Soulframe. It has an affinity with the Courage virtue, so Ode Tempest players will typically benefit from investing in Courage.

The Ode Tempest Pact helps you to fight in melee and deal AoE damage with lightning, or by hurling a boulder to knock over all enemies who stand in its path.

Starting Arcanics

The Ode Tempest has access to the following Arcanics (spells):

Seismor – Bowl a Seismor, a ball of destruction to knock down all enemies in its path.
Astra Sphere – Conjure a storm inside a sphere, dealing Voltaic damage to all enemies within.
Atmos Sphere – Shields you from strikes while active.

Ode Tempest Idol

All Pacts have an Idol ability. This is a powerful effect that requires a certain amount of Idol Power to activate. Idol Power is generated by dealing damage with other attacks. Idols are akin to Ultimates in other RPGs.

The Ode Tempest Idol allows you to fire lightning bolts at enemies. Each bolt you fire consumes a small amount of Idol Power, and the longer you channel the effect for, the faster you shoot the bolts. The lightning bolts have a chance to chain to other enemies. This is a rapid-fire effect that is powerful against both single targets and groups of enemies, but try to find a bit of space before using it so that you have sufficient time to wind up the fire rate.
