The Unholy Talent Set is mostly a support set. Like the Holy Talent Set, it is a newer talent set. It is chosen by warriors that do not mind taking a risk during battle. It is also chosen by those that do not do much on the battle field but want to make pretty cool crafts. The risk and benefits are great. However, random citizens are wary of Unholy Talent users.
With the Unholy Talent Set, special moves and abilities can be enhanced with unholy energy. The result is a move or ability that is much more powerful. Damage over time effects can do up to double the damage. Speed attacks become faster. All of the attacks enhanced by the Unholy Talent Set also give an amount of unholy damage. This does extra damage to most enemies.
The set is versatile. The enhancing ability can be set to passive, buffing a certain moves. It can also be set as a focus move taking a slot on the move list. It would have to be selected before the desired move.
There are a few moves unique to this set but they resemble moves from other sets. Unholy fireball, unholy strike, contaminate ground, they all do what their name suggests. These moves however can also be used with the enhancement ability for triple damage.
As the character does damage with this set they get closer to becoming an unruly beast. Unable to tell friend from foe, this beast uses unholy enhanced versions of the character’s attacks against everything. While a beast, the player has no control over the character and the character will be as destructive as possible. It will start attacking its attackers first, things using spells on it second, moving things third, and then everything else.
They are much more powerful in beast form but are far from invincible. The predictability of its targets makes luring, and distracting strategies easier. It can even be used strategically while fighting a boss or strong target.
A player has no visible meter that says when the character is about to change. Without this, the player must rely on subtle hints when the character walks or speaks. Each time a character turns into a beast it gets easier and easier to turn again. Only after a period of staying in base form would the rate of change go back to normal. The only safe way to know that the meter is back to default is by getting help from someone with the Holy Talent Set or by not changing at all for five hours.
In the stories, turning into a wild beast is enjoyable to characters. Releasing all inhibition and boundaries is very freeing and can become an addiction for them. Their personality changes becoming more reckless the closer they are to turning. They have a hard time telling they are changing. Their companions have to tell them but the Unholy Talent users don’t always take the warnings seriously.
The character must pay for its actions while in beast form. This is reason enough for a player to be careful what they do in a friendly city. Even with the drawbacks, it is a powerful talent set and is used just as often as the other sets.
