Shiren 1 DS:Double Speed

Effect on Shiren

You will now be able to move twice in one turn. In one turn, Shiren has the following options:

• 2 movement turns
• 1 movement turn and 1 attacking turn
• 2 attacking turns

Effect on Monsters

There are two degrees of Double Speed in Monsters, those that, when stationary for one turn next to a target:

• Cannot attack twice in that turn. Single Attack.
• Can attack twice in that turn. - Double Attack. ('Double Speed' Shiren falls into this category).

Some monsters inherently move at double speed, and of these, some can also double attack.

Effect of 1 speed increase

Slow - Normal Speed Normal - Monsters: Single attack, Shiren: Double Attack DS:Single attack - Double Attack. DS:Double attack - No effect.

How to inflict this effect

Shiren

• Get hit by the magic ability of a Skull Mage with the speed effect.
• Get hit by the bolt of an Accelerating Staff that is reflected back at Shiren by an Air Devil Family Monster.

Monsters

• Level the monster up into a form that inherently moves at double speed.
• Read a Scroll of Sleep and wait <14 turns for nearby monsters or those in the same room to wake up with their speed one level higher.
• Read a Scroll of Haste to increase the speed of nearby monsters or those in the same room by one level.
• Swing or throw an Accelerating Staff at the monster.
• Transform into a Skull Mage and cast magic with the speed effect on the monster.

How to cure

As a beneficial status condition, the player likely wouldn't want to cure the 'Invisible' status and therefore would avoid ways of accidentally curing the condition. These methods are listed below:

Monsters

• If the speed increase of the monster is inherent, inflicting the 'Sealed' status on them will change their speed to 'normal'. Some methods for achieving this are listed below:
• Swing or throw a Sealing Staff at the monster.
• As a Trap Master, either throw or have the monster trigger either a Unequip Trap or a Curse Trap.

Caution

A Monster whose speed was artificially sped up, see:How to inflict this effect, will not be returned to 'normal' speed when 'Sealed'. However, 'double attack' monsters will will become 'single attack' monsters.
