General Tips

Deal Massive Damage with Dual Techs

Dead Head X-Strike

If you managed to recruit Glenn in your playthrough, you will have access to a Dual Tech Skill between him and Serge called X-Strike.

Name Description
X-Strike A Red-innate combo attack on a single target, that requires the powers of Dash&Slash (Serge) and Dash&Gash (Glenn) to perform.

Pairing this Dual Tech Skill with their Single Tech Skills will make this battle end much faster.

There are more Dual Techs out there, even Triple Techs, so it's best to recruit as many characters as possible to see the other kinds of group Tech Skills you can execute to deal devastating damage against your foes!
