Breath Of Fire 3

In Breath Of Fire 3 the characters are totally diffrent and they all cant change there appearance. The only character that can is Ryu. He again can transform into dragons but you can mix and match to make diffrent kinds of dragon forms. The characters are also diffrent too. In this portion I will show you how they are and there weapons. I will also show you some combinations with the dragon form you can make.

Ryu
Description:The Hero
Place of joining: Dauna Mines
Advantage:Ryu is a powerfull healer and assistor. Not only that. Ryu also takes full advantage in his skill to transform into a dragon.

Dragon Types

Dragon Form
Obtained by combining any two genes with each other, or any of the above with Thorn. Single-elemental dragons (Flame + Thorn, Flame + Defender, etc) match the color of their element, while mixed-elementals (Flame + Thunder, Flame + Shadow) they are always a dark greyish-green in color (horn color seems to vary depending on the combination), no matter what the elemental mix is (except in the cases where the elements cancel out, leaving the normal-colored green dragon - Flame + Frost and Shadow + Radiance).

Warrior Form
Obtained by using the Force Gene. Exceptions to this are splicing in Miracle (forms a Behemoth with Focus), Trance (forms Myrmidon), Failure (forms a Whelp), Fusion (forms a Hybrid), and Infinity (forms Kaiser).This form has a bit more HP than a whelp, amazing power, alright defense, and awesome speed, but no all-enemy-affecting 'breath' attacks (unless an elemental gene is spliced in... and since breath-weapons are HP-dependant, you're better off going with an elemental + Thorn for the HP boost). Splicing in Reverse actually will boosts the Warrior's HP, more so than adding Gross. Best ability is Aura, but that costs 20 AP per use meaning you won't get in many of them before running out of AP and turning back. This form is best for taking on single enemies with lots of HP, especially undead.

Behemoth Form
Obtained by using Miracle Gene. Exceptions: Miracle + ??? forms Mammoth, Miracle + Failure forms a Whelp, Miracle + Fusion forms a Hybrid, Miracle + Shadow + Trance forms Tiamat, Miracle + Force + Trance forms Myrmidon, Miracle + Infinity forms Berzerk Kaiser, and Miracle + Thorn + Reverse forms Wildfire. Miracle + Reverse forms a Behemoth with less HP than normal but with high speed, and Miracle + Gross + Reverse almost guarantees EX Attacks on a lot of enemies. Miracle + Force forms a Behemoth with the Warrior's Focus ability.

Hybrid Forms
This isn't as straight forward as the previous sections, since there are *eight* forms called Hybrid: Four normal, four enhanced. I'll just lift the format directly from my own Super Hybrid FAQ (which, apparently, is not yet up on gamefaqs.com), and go over the move lists for the normal and enhanced forms of each of the four hybrids, with explanations following. The names are mine (hopefully I'm not using someone else's name for them), as the game calls them all simply "Hybrid".

Pygmy Form
This is a unique form, created by splicing the ??? and Mutant genes. Other genes can be added, but none have any effect (other than Miracle, Fusion, Failure, and Infinity, which form Mammoth, Hybrid, Whelp, and Kaiser respectively). It has remarkable speed and dodging ability, and pitifully low attack, defense, and hit points (which reduces the effectiveness of its otherwise powerful breath weapon).

Tiamat Form
Another unique form, formed with the Shadow and Trance genes. No other genes have any effect on this combination, other than the usual Fusion, Failure, and Infinity (which form a Hybrid, a Whelp, and a berserk Kaiser). This form has high stats all around, and is immune to status changes (blindness, poisoning, confusion, instant-death spells, etc). This form, like Behemoth/Mammoth, combines the entire party. very little AP cost to transform and maintain this form (only 13 AP, 7 AP per round).

Golden Forms (Wildfire, Trygon, Myrmidon, Mammoth)
These are special, enhanced forms of the basic four forms (Whelp, Dragon, Warrior, Behemoth). They are golden-colored (yellow-orange with orange horns) versions of their counterparts.

Kaiser Form
Kaiser, isn't all that useful, because of the outragious AP cost to transform and maintain it. For the 21 (or 27) AP cost per round, you're better off going with the Warrior and using Aura over and over (the total AP cost per round is slightly higher, but the damage is greater). Kaiser is normally berserk, and will attack random opponents (or party members!) unless spliced with the Failure Gene or with Trance and Radiance. The Infinity + Failure (41 AP, 21 AP per round) has lower stats than the Infinity + Trance + Radiance (53 AP, 27 AP per round) combination - especially hit points, drastically affecting Kaiser Breath. Both version of Kaiser is immune to status changes.
