Casual, Normal or Hard?

The only difference between Casual, Normal, and Hard is the amount of damage you receive from enemies. On Casual, you receive considerably less damage from enemies, while on Hard mode, you receive more damage.

Apart from enemy damage, everything else stays the same throughout all difficulty settings. This includes EXP, SP, AP, and rewards received from missions.

How to Heal in Combat

How to Heal in Combat
Use Skills to Heal Units Use Potions for Single-Target Heals Use Goldhorne to Heal the Entire Party

There are various healing skills in-game like Hurried Heal and Heal for single-target heals, as well as AoE Heals like Convalescent Circle and Sanctuary which gradually heals allies over a period of time.

Consumables like Potions and Blended Potions can be used during combat to restore HP. Goldhorne is a Magilumic Orb obtained in Chapter 1 that heals your HP mid-battle.

How to Revive Allies

How to Revive Allies
Use other units to revive them Use Renewal Potion Use Convalescent Circle

During the early stages of the game, the only way to revive incapacitated characters is to have one of your other characters approach them and rescue them. Another method to revive incapacitated characters is the usage of a Renewal Potion during combat.

Alternatively, if your party has a Magicker, they can use the Convalescent Circle skill to fill up the rescue gauges of downed allies within a large Area-of-Effect (AoE).

Status Effects & Strengthening Effects

Status Effects are temporary ailments inflicted on units either through Skills or through Passive Abilities. There are various types of Status Effects ranging from slowing enemies down, inflicting damage-over-time debuffs, or even just preventing units from moving.

Status effects make fights go easier when used on enemies, but will make fights much harder for you. To remove status effects, you can either wait them out, or cure them with a spell.

Best Skills for Each Class

Each class has its good and bad skills. Some are excellent at doing damage, others are great at controlling crowds and inflicting status effects. Follow our guide below to see a list of the best skills in the game.

Skill	Effect & Reason
Assassination	Best Finisher Skill Andrias' Assassination is easily his best skill as it bypasses its cooldown when used as a finisher against foes, allowing you to chain the skill should the enemies surrounding you have low enough health.
Wings of the Storm	Best Crowd Control Skill Wings of the Storm makes Wyvern Riders worth having in your party as it can help you manage the positioning of enemy units with ease and set up strategies accordingly.
Cyclone	Best DPS Skill Having a good base attack power, wide range, and excellent skill upgrades, Cyclone is considered the best DPS skill in the game, giving you another reason why you should have a Wyvern Rider in your team.
Frostbind	Best Interruption Skill Frostbind is definitely the best skill to use in order to stop enemies from their tracks and ultimately cancel out their attacks. While there are other skills that can inflict the same effect like Stun, Frostbind inflicts Freeze them instead, which lasts 5 seconds longer than the former.
Sanctuary	Best Healing Skill Considerably the best party-wide healing skill for its high recovery rate, as well as a guaranteed Tenacity buff upon upgrading.
