Branches of warEdit

Six baselines of power creates three personality types and six innate abilities.

Each ability results in a learned technique, which Claymore warriors use to fight Yoma, awakened beings—and even each other.

• Baseline ↓
  • Yoma power—demonic power
  • Agility—quickness, speed and maneuverability
  • Strength—muscular strength and extension (shapeshifting)
  • Mental
  • Sensing
  • Leadership
    • Class (Type and ability) ↓
      • Type (personality) ↓
        • Defensive type
        • Offensive type
        • Special type
          • Ability (innate) ↓
            • Yoma power ability
            • Agile ability
            • Strength ability
            • Mental ability
            • Sensing ability
              • technique (learned) ↓
                • Yoma power technique
                • Agile technique
                • Strength technique
                • Mental technique
                • Sensing technique

Baseline, type, ability, techniqueEdit

Type, ability and technique derive from six baselines, rated by the Organization from A to E (fail).

Baselines influence a warrior's personality, innate ability and invention of technique. An especially high rating on one baseline alone can result in a notable technique, despite weaknesses in other areas.

For example, Noel rates A+ for agility, though only C for strength. Her combined baselines create an offensive type personality. Her innate ability is Agile Speed Attack. Her invented technique is High Fluid Movement.

Noel: Agility A+ (plus other baselines) = Offensive type = Agile Speed Attack = High Fluid Movement.

LearnableEdit

Once a technique is established, it can be learned by others using different baselines, personality and ability. Examples are:

• Undine's strength baseline replaced with Deneve's agility (Twin Sword)
• Jean's mental baseline replaced with Helen's strength (Drill Sword)
• Ilena's mental baseline replaced with Clare's sensing (Quicksword)
