Searching for the Back attack, preemptive attack chance rate formula in FF8
(1/1)
Kitsune:
Hi!
I search an info about Strike back and preemptive attack in Final Fantasy VIII (if possible PSX version but don't know if it change about the version)
I have found this formula in a document on the web:
--- Code: ----------------------------------
10.2 Back Attack, Struck First
-------------------------------
To determine whether you get an advantage/disadvantage over the enemy:
rnd = [0..255] + EncounterMod
if (rnd < 20) "Back attack!"
else if (rnd < 236) no change
else "Struck first!"
Note: EncounterMod can be either 0 or 20, depending on the enemies.
Probability of..
"Back attack!" 20/256 or 0/256 7.8% or 0%
no change 216/256 84.3%
"Struck first!" 20/256 or 40/256 7.8% or 15.6%
Note: Equipping the "Alert" party ability reduces "rnd" by 20, essentially
increasing the odds of "Back attack!" and decreasing odds of
"Struck first!"
Back attack:
All allies will start with 100% of the ATB bar filled.
Enemies start with 0% of the ATB bar filled.
Struck first:
All allies will start with 0% of the ATB bar filled.
Enemies start with 100% of the ATB bar filled.
No change:
All enemies' and allies' starting ATB bar calculated normally, see section 3.1
for more details.

I search for the EncounterMod variable, it must be either 0 or 20 but I don't find anything on the web about it and monsters or battle scene.
If you have an answer? Thanks.
