General Tips
- Swords beat bows, bows beat spears, and spears beat swords. Always remember this formula. Or just look at the top right of the screen during battle for a handy visual reminder.
- Remember when you bump into an ally, they move to the opposite square. Use this to your advantage and take out foes in one turn. Just be quick about it, as you have a limited amount of time to move.
- If the game feels slow, press the fast forward button in the top right corner of the screen. It speeds things up considerably.
- Feel free to repeat old missions in order to grind experience. The game proves challenging in just the first few chapters.
- Hold onto Coins for multiple jobs. You can also use Coins to get beast allies at the Tavern, but they aren't as useful as the Fellowship of Truth recruits.
- Feel free to experiment with different character combinations. The game gives you multiple squad slots for a reason.
- Log in daily to receive a nice Coin bonus.
- Use stamina wisely unless you want to spend money for more of it. Completing each chapter increases your maximum stamina, allowing you to tackle more missions in a short amount of time.
- Make sure your squad focuses on variety. It's nice to have different weapons at any given moment because of the game's rock-paper-scissors design.
