Tutorials

Open up the main bill of fare and select tutorial whenever you want to read over these entries once again.

Annotation on the text colour :

The tutorials of the game are described beneath in text color gray.
The information that I added is written in text color black.

Save

The game saves automatically. The game is saved every time the loading screen appears.

Boxing

Staggering enemies

Printing the Y (switch) or □ (playstation) button once to slash.
Press it repeatedly to activate a sword skill and perform a combo.
Press the 10 (switch) or ∆ (playstation) button to actuate a sword skill instantly. This consumes SP, but increases the attack'south power.

If yous fourth dimension your sword skill to strike correct afterward an enemy's skill, you lot tin stagger the enemy. Yous can deal more damage to a staggered enemy.

Notation: In the gainsay tutorial striking the enemy at the moment it casts an surface area attack (red area) to stagger the enemy.

Combo ratios

A combo ratio is displayed whenever you set on an enemy. This is a damage multiplier, so higher numbers are amend. The longer your combo goes unbroken, the higher the hit count will become, which increases the damage multiplier. The damage multiplier volition as well increase when you time your slashes perfectly with the combo guess. The more effective your attacks are the higher the ratio will climb.

Note: In the combat tutorial hitting the enemy without interuption to get to a damage multiplier of 2.00.

Evading enemy attacks

When enemies attack, sometimes the area of issue (AoE) will be displayed. This gives you lot a chance to evade the assail. While moving the Left Stick in the desired direction, press the R button to perform a quick step. Performing a step makes you briefly invulnerable, allowing you lot to evade the incoming assail.

Note: Press the left joystick to lock the target. This makes it easier to contrivance and to resume attacking.

Performing concatenation attacks

You can issue a variety of orders from the party command list, but one of the strongest is the chain command. To use a squad attack press and hold L button and press the sword skill button. When ordered to perform a concatenation set on, your ally will perform a serial of impairment multiplier-raising combo attacks. Y'all tin raise your philharmonic ratio past unleashing your sword skills in sync with your ally'south attacks.

If your are the ane to succesfully cease the concatenation assault, you volition activate a skill chain attack. Allies are caught when performing chain attacks, and so stagger enemies and parry attacks to defend them.

Note: In the combat tutorial printing and hold L and press sword skill push button to brand an ally commencement the chain, wait for your other allies to go on the concatenation to chain two and chain three (automatically) and and so yous can finish the chain with a sword skill (without the Fifty button). If succesfully, the message chain done! appears.

Party commands

Printing the L button to bring up the party command bill of fare. From here, you can assist allies or chain set on with them. You tin too guild your allies to heal, order them to target an enemy or even encourage them.

Switching

Switching immediately cancels all other actions to deliver a powerful accident that causes enemies to reel. Switching allows you and an ally to swap places at critical moments, and is great for turning the tides of battle. Unleasing a sword skill on a foe reeling from a switch activates a powerful skill concatenation attack. Skill chain attacks deal massive damage to downed enemies and they can be used to end those enemies off for good.

Compliments

Yous can compliment your partner on a job well done. The name and category of your partner's last action is displayed simply below their HP guess on the left side of the screen. Complimenting your partner helps them remember sure deportment and over time that action will become their specialty.

Revive

When you die, an marry revives you automatically. When an ally dies, walk to your ally and printing and agree the A (switch) or o (playstation) button to revive your marry.

Exp concatenation bonus

Felling enemies in quick succession boosts your chain count, which grants a chain bonus. These bonuses grow as you continue to take down enemies, but the bigger the chain, the faster the bonus effect wears off. But don't look to farm weak enemies to build a chain. Anything x or more levels beneath the political party boilerplate won't count.

Main palette

The primary palette is a custom control panel. Apply the directional buttons to move the cursor, and the A (switch) or o (playstation) button to use the skill. The primary palette disables certain controls while agile, so be careful when using it. Open up the principal bill of fare, and so choose fix palette to edit the principal palette.

Note: I adopt to utilise the command en sub palettes instead of the master palette. I will describe my layout beneath, notwithstanding this is a personal preference. Feel free to arrange it the mode yous like.

I have arranged my prepare palette as follows:

Command Palette (attack)
Y / □	Regular sword attack
X / ∆	Deadly Sins
A / o	Nova Ascension
B / ten	Spring

Note: I removed the Parry skill, because I always Contrivance instead.

Sub palette left (heal)
˄	Purification Crystal
<	HP Potion
>	SP Potion
˅	Heal

Sub palette right (party)
Y / □	Draw aggro!
10 / ∆	Use skills!
A / o	Good!
B / x	Switch!

Recommended battle tactic

Equally a summary of the above topics, I have adopted the following gainsay technique:
Open the fight with a normal assail.
Give tank political party command: Describe aggro!.
Give one of the allies command: Use skills!
Expect for your allies to build up the skill chain to chain 3.
Finish the chain with a sword skill yourself.
Requite i of the allies control: Switch!

In summary: > tank > marry > wait to chain 3 > or > ally

Repeat the concatenation building and switching during the battle.

If you lot or any marry has low HP, give party command: Heal! . Make sure that you lot stand in the green expanse, so that yous get healed.

Note: This battle style is very basic. Feel gratis to use more skills and a more advanced battle way, but I take been able to finish the game with this style and it is like shooting fish in a barrel to acquire.

Skills

The more you use your weapons, the more proficient you go with them. You will larn skill points every bit you reach certain thresholds of proficiency with your weapons. On rare occasions, yous may also receive skill points for defeating an enemy. You need skill points in order to larn more than skills.

Transformations use the materials you've gathered to create an entirely new weapon or piece of equipment. Transformations in particular may also grant a rare skill, in addition to boosting stats. The take hold of is that transformations require rare materials, and those materials will exist lost if the transformation fails.

Note: If you want Lisbeth as your blacksmith, find her in town and select engage blacksmith from her bill of fare. Later on in the game she opens her ain blacksmith shop, which can exist constitute in Market Street. Talk to the female shopkeeper at the stall to call Lisbeth.

High-level enhancements and transformations require high skill levels. Blacksmiths raise their smithing skill by doing their chore, and then be sure to frequent the blacksmith who has the skills you're looking for, in lodge to help them improve.
