A Whistle is a Platinum Bard skill that raises the evasion of the whole party.
Overview
A Whistle plays a calming tune that improves the evasion and perfect dodge of every party member in view, the Bard included. Unlike the Bard's songs it is a regular support buff rather than a performance, so it does not slow the Bard or drain SP over time. It can be played while a song is going. A Whistle is a Platinum skill learned outside the normal skill tree.
Mechanics
- Flee bonus = +15
- Perfect dodge bonus = +3
- Applies to every party member within the Bard's field of view, including the Bard.
- Duration: 3 minutes
The bonuses are fixed values and do not scale.

Notes
