When you're a god, even the roll of a dice is predictable! But for the mere mortals who circle the blackjack tables of the material world hungrily, there is no such luck. And here, it is the Ecaflips who rule over crook, thief and gold-rusher, playing lady luck with supreme skill and recklessness.

[edit] Key Information

  • Role: High-Roller.
  • Strike power: Random. Depends highly on luck.
  • Flexibility: Good. Large choice of actions.
  • Cooperation: Variable, depending on whether luck is on their side!
  • Place in combat: Wherever the action's at!
  • Suitable Target: Enemies who depend on critical hits and failures (Watchers, for example)
  • Unsuitable Target: Resistant enemies (Emerald Larvae).

[edit] Specialities in spell branches

  • Air: Very 'Feline' branch with many long-range attacks (Catty Tosser, for example).
  • Water: This branch is a gold mine for Ecaflips - they use it in both defense and support, such as "Liklap", for example which is an expensive but highly effective heal... so long as you haven't been finished off!
  • Earth: Spells which can make the difference - hit harder than a Iop or softer than an Eniripsa, you just never know!!!
  • Support: Control their own or their enemies' chance with spells like "Rotten Luck", which increases their enemies' chances of making a critical failure.
  • CC: Cards and versatility in weapon choice.

[edit] Practical tips

  • It's good to gamble, but you have to know when to stop! If you're in trouble, maybe it's time to start using the spells you know will work.
  • Have you ever heard of Gamblers Anonymous? Twelve steps to losing every battle you'll ever fight!
  • Some friendly advice: if an Ecaflipette stars opening your shirt with her soft, warm paw, just remember that a set of claws hides just underneath. That's one gamble you're sure to lose!

[edit] History

Concept art for Ecaflip class in Wakfu.

The Ecaflip class of Wakfu originated from the first Ankama title Dofus, in which they were a Risk taking character that attacked with cards and dice rolling.

[edit] Preview spells

Ankama previewed a small selection of spells during the initial design period of Wakfu. Though examples of the desired shape of the class, most of these spells didn't make it through to the current version without some alterations, if not being dropped all together.

Icon Name Element Short description
Image:Preview_Gambit.jpg Gambit  ?? This spell enables Ecaflip to give up some of there faith points to get a random MP, AP or HP bonus
Image:Preview_Reflexes.jpg Reflexes  ?? This spell enables Ecaflip to get a Dodging Bonus
Image:Preview_MadCat.png Mad Cat  ?? This spell enables Ecaflip to cast a Huge Mad Cat in the middle of the map which randomly hits some of the players that are part of the fight
Image:Preview_DetectionGlyph.png Detection Glyph  ?? This spell enables Ecaflip to put a glyph on the ground that will enable them to see all invisible characters in the glyph's area of effect

[edit] Trivia

  • Players often shorten "Ecaflip" to "Eca" when referring to the class.
  • Reading ecaflip backwards gives "pilface". Add an "E" in between pil and face and you get pile face. This comes from the French expression "Pile ou face", which is their version of heads or tails.
