    Default Attack Charge Effects

     
    Does anybody know what the exact effect his attacks gain for each level you charge to?

    Obviously no charge = nothing, and I know full charge is Unblockable, but what about additional effects to full charge? or what about lvl2 charge?
    BRV:
    Lvl1 Charge(no fire) ~ no effect
    Lvl2 Charge(fire starts) ~ ????
    Lvl3 Charge(fully aflame/audio cue *ding*) ~ ????, Unblockable
    HP:
    Lvl1 Charge(initial fire) ~ Unblockable
    Lvl2 Charge(fire gets bigger/audio cue *ding*) ~ ????
    Lvl3 Charge(fully aflame/audio cue *second ding*) ~ ????

    This would be really helpful if anyone knows. I'm pretty sure that a fully charged Jecht Blade does two hits for each swing he does, thus doing double damage, but I'm not sure if it's the same for every move, or if it changes by move. Thanks in advance.

    FINDINGS ~ All but 100% confirmed(need verification)
    Jecht Blade(Air/Ground):
    LVL 1 ~ Unblockable
    LVL 2 ~ Slight initial lunge speed increase, slight tracking boost
    LVL 3 ~ Initial lunge speed increased, better tracking, goes farther, slight vertical track

    Ultimate Jecht Shot:
    LVL 1 ~ Unblockable
    LVL 2 ~ Lunge forward slightly on upward movement,
    LVL 3 ~ Lunge forward more on upward movement,

    Triumphant Grasp:
    LVL 1 ~ Unblockable
    LVL 2 ~ Dive speed/distance slight increase, slight tracking increase
    LVL 3 ~ Dive faster/farther, better tracking

    Jecht Stream:
    LVL 1 ~ Normal attack
    LVL 2 ~
    LVL 3 ~ Initial thrust forward faster/more accurate,

    Jecht Rush:
    LVL 1 ~ Normal attack
    LVL 2 ~ Initial thrust slight speed/distance increase
    LVL 3 ~ Initial thrust forward faster/larger distance increase

    UNCONFIRMED ~ Help verify PLZ!
    Jecht Blade(Air/Ground):
    LVL 1 ~ N/A
    LVL 2 ~
    LVL 3 ~ Doubles hits(almost 100% sure..like 99.9%)

    Ultimate Jecht Shot:
    LVL 1 ~ N/A
    LVL 2 ~ Slight Blast Range increase
    LVL 3 ~ Blast Range increase, doubles hits

    Triumphant Grasp:
    LVL 1 ~ N/A
    LVL 2 ~
    LVL 3 ~ Doubles hits

    Jecht Stream:
    LVL 1 ~ N/A
    LVL 2 ~
    LVL 3 ~ Triples or Quadruples hits for the first part, second part gets Double or Triple(repectively), third gets Double or is untouched(respectively)

    Jecht Rush:
    LVL 1 ~ N/A
    LVL 2 ~
    LVL 3 ~ Doubles or Triples hits for first part, second part gets No Boost or Double(respectively), third gets No Boost

    I'm pretty sure about the HP double hits part, though not 100%. Can someone confirm? It seems to be true for at least Jecht Blade and Triumphant Grasp.

    Need more data for Jecht Stream/Rush.

    For the Brave:
    The LV2 charges increases speed/homing/tracking and doubles the hits in the attack.

    *not sure but I think the "double hits" part only happens on the first part of the combo.

    For HP:
    Jecht Blade:
    Lv 1-normal
    Lv 2- Need to test
    Lv 3- Fast release and increased range as well as giving a slight vertical tracking.

    The other two I need to test more but also mention that a full charged UJS when you spin up to hurl the meteor you lunge forward a bit.

    Really great idea to get this knowledge out for us Jecht user's lordsauron.

    Thanks We could all use the knowledge of what charge level is worth risking when right?

    I'll start experimenting. I'm gonna put all finds in first post.

    I believe that lvl 2 has double hits for all his skills and lvl 3 makes them unblockable as well.
    Insert witty comment here.

    But that wouldn't account for HP attacks. How would Unblockable on an already Unblockable attack help?

    Its possible, since his attacks are unguardable when fully charged, It would lead to only unblockable strikes

    I'm saying that it doesn't make sense for the full HP charge to be Unblockable when HP attacks are already Unblockable.

    Not necessarily unblockable, The charge is for delays on surprise attacks. Straight Arrow follows the same as Grasp/Blade but its blockable

    No. Jecht's HP attacks when charged do not gain anymore priority than what they already have. And only the LV3 brave attacks gain the guard break.

    Skipping over the thread, so I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, I think a level 2 charge results in staggering if you attempt to block it.
