Visions of Mana features many ways for players to boost the damage dealt by their attacks. One such way is with the help of ability seeds. These seeds grant abilities to the characters that they couldn’t have used otherwise. Ability seeds offer more flexibility, where players can boost the damage in the form of an increase in stats or gain resistances without having to switch between classes or upgrade weapons. Initially, players can equip only two of these, but over the course of time, they can maximize the team's potential with these items, as the number increases from a mere two seeds to a whole ten ability seeds per character. There is a vast array of ability seeds for Visions of Mana players to make use of, but some are arguably better than others.

Exploration	Boasts the damage of Class Strikes during an Elemental Break by 70%

Bars display a variety of information in Visions of Mana, and the yellow bar on the screen has its own significance. Denoting the mana gauge in the game, this bar is used by players to use Elemental break, an ability that draws out the true potential of an elemental vessel. Upon learning an elemental break ability from the elemental plot, players can use it in combat to unleash the wrath of the elements. To make things worse for the enemies, using the Oath of Radiance ability goes far beyond a disaster, as it boosts the damage to class strikes used during an elemental break by 70%.

Class strikes in Visions of Mana can be considered as special moves that are unique to each class, and with Oath of Radiance boosting the attack of the ultimate skill performed during the elemental break, things will not be good for any enemies - weak or strong.

Knockbacks can be annoying in video games, and what other way could be better than dealing with them than a sweet ability that grants total immunity to knockbacks when attacked.

The Lionheart ability seed allows players to be completely immune to enemy knockbacks and fight them ferociously without wasting a single second. The ability seed is extremely useful as a way to apply immunity without needing to switch to the nomad class at the cost of a single slot.

Critical Damage +	Exchange with the help of Brutal Guri Corestone	Increase Critical Damage by 30%

Critical hits play a crucial role in combat in any RPG, as they can change the tide of the battle. However, the chance of hitting them efficiently is less, as they are associated with a critical rate that determines the chance of an attack being a critical hit.

Critical Rate Boost + and Critical Damage + are two ability seeds that drastically increase the chance to drop a critical hit by equipping these seeds with two slots. Increasing the crit rate by 40% and damage by 30%, these two seeds have the potential to deal unholy amounts of damage. Pairing these with classes that have a high crit rate, the increased attack power is certain to make Visions of Mana feel much easier for gamers while also reducing the time it takes to conclude battles.

The first move in combat is a decisive one, and this saying also applies in video games. Every gamer wants to start things off with a bang, and in Visions of Mana, there could not be a better way to make an explosive opening blow than with the help of First Strike + and Triumphant +.

Dealing 40% extra damage to enemies that have a full health bar and a 30% increased attack when the character is at full health allows players to deal a collectively massive blow when starting combat.

Fortunately, to make things easier, players can use the Traveler’s Talisman ability seed. The item acts as a quick pass, providing immunity to status effects that can impede movements, ensuring that the player’s momentum never comes to a halt.

The Untouchable ability doubles down on this idea, as it increases the invulnerability period when evading attacks. The extended invincibility can be paired well with other ability seeds, like Provoke, that attract enemies to make the game highly offensive and fast-paced.

4 Consecutive Casting [All]

Two Spells At Once Are Better Than One

Exchange with the help of Magic User Ambrose Corestone	Can cast magic of any element in quick succession

Magic makes up a big and important part of combat in Visions of Mana, and players have a vast pool of spells to pick from and use. The spells, though, are associated with cool downs to limit their use in combat. Spells would be completely broken in the game if not for their limited use over a period of time. However, players can bypass this cooldown to some extent with the use of Consecutive Casting ability seed.

The item is available for all elements in the game, but the Consecutive Casting – All is the best one to pick out of all, as it allows players to cast magic of any element in succession from the ring menu. The seed is especially useful when using it with spells that have a long cooldown period.

3 Acumen +

Kick Off Combat With Magic

As the name of the game suggests, the world of Visions of Mana is full of magic, and magic is needed to use a variety of things. From casting buffs to the team to healing or even attacking enemies with offensive spells, magic is an all-purpose boon.

Visions of Mana boasts plenty of offensive spells , and with dedicated classes that excel in casting said spells, the need to increase the power of magic becomes crucial. This is where Acumen + comes into play, as it increases magic attack by 30% when operating at 100% health. The ability seed offers a good way to start with a powerful pre-emptive strike, and players can even pair it up with other ability seeds like Brilliance + and First Strike to land a lethal first blow.

2 Wrath Of [Element]

Wrath of Darkness	Fallow Steppe, along a small body of water just south of the Ancient Ruins. The reward is the Wrath of Darkness Ability Seed.	Increase the damage of Dark elemental attacks by 10%

This ability seed comes separately for various elements, and it doesn’t have an all-type option like Wound Magic or Consecutive Casting, but this shouldn’t dishearten the player from choosing it. If one knows what elements they are utilizing in combat, the Wrath of ability seeds can prove to be extremely useful.

Giving a flat 10% damage increase on the elemental attack, the Wrath of ability seed gives a simple yet powerful buff to the players. The only thing players have to keep in mind is using the right Wrath of ability seed, as using Wrath of Darkness won’t benefit them while using the fire element.

1 Wound Magic [All]

Give And Take

Exploration	Increase the damage done by magic attacks by consuming 3% of the party's total HP

Some Visions of Mana abilities work on a give-and-take system, but the Wound Magic – All ability seed has more to offer than it takes away. The forgiving nature of the ability makes it really versatile and easy to use, too.

Consuming a mere 3% HP for all party members to increase the damage to magic attacks is a sure-fire strategy to win on the battlefield. Pairing it up with abilities like Consecutive Casting and Acumen results in devastating damage powers, making this ability seed a must-try for players tinkering with magic in Visions of Mana.
