Only if the character knows the correct Geomancy attack for whatever surface he/she is on when attacked. For instance, if you are on snow and know Blizzard, Counter Flood has a chance to be invoked. If you do not know Blizzard in that case, it will not work.

Like any reaction skill, it will work in another job, but only in the limits R51 described.

Edit
But go see the R51 next post below, to see that we were in fact both wrong... wink.gif )

Yes, I read your question, as best I could through the poor English. It seems that you were asking: "If I am NOT a Geomancer, can I still use Counter Flood?" And the answer is yes, as I described it.

I really don't know why people ask things like this when they can have the answer themselves much faster then waiting a response on a forum...

Counter Flood will work for any class that has it equipped. You do not need to know any other Geomancy abilities or be a Geomancer for it to work.

Are you addressing me? Are you saying that for Counter Flood to work on say, Machine terrain, you have to know Lava Ball? If you are (it's very hard to understand your post) that is incorrect. Hey do I need to know the spell Reraise for Dragon Spirit to work? Do I need to know Regen for Regenerator to work? Is Counter Flood the only reaction ability in the game that is dependent on what action abilities you have learned?

From the BMG:

[Counter Flood] - 300 JP, Geomancer
If you are targeted by a Counter Flood-enabled attack (Check
the big list (section 3.3) to see if an attack is Counter Flood-
enabled. For the most part, these are Countergraspable attacks
that also cause damage, plus ELEMENTAL attacks and some other
oddballs), you will counter with an ELEMENTAL directive
corresponding to the ground you are currently standing on,
regardless of your assailant's distance from you and regardless of
whether you have actually learned that ability. The ELEMENTAL
directive will have its usual effect area, so if one of your units
happens to be standing next to the target of Counter Flood and is
on the same height, (s)he'll be damaged too! Like most reactions,
Counter Flood will activate Br% of the time.

As much as I hate to admit it, Overrated is right here. He's still more than a bit of an arrogant jerk about it, but he is right, Mr. Thou just doublechecked. Sorry for the misinformation earlier.

Easy, children. No flamers, now. The question was answered, and the guy who started it seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. Let's bury this topic.
