Monster attack names don't match up with effects #55

Hi, fonsleenaars! I first want to thank you again for this excellent resource. It's super-helpful in finding the right bosses to farm as well as how to most efficiently counter them.

I noticed on the Monsters list that the list of attack names don't match up with their effects. For instance, almost every monster has a "Frost Strike" skill as their basic attack. I'm also sure the infamous Banmaru doesn't use Flame Strike and Volcanic Orb, either. Any idea where this is coming from?

Glad to hear it!

Indeed, it's quite peculiar but apparently "Frost Strike" is used as the name for a LOT of "default attacks" or "unnamed skills". The reason for this seems that there was just never a name assigned to the skill because there's nowhere for the name to appear, so it defaults to this "silly" name.

Unfortunately, because it IS a tag in the game, I don't quite have a way of detecting which are real "frost strikes" and which are fake

Closing this because I'm afraid there's not much I could do about it :(
