Combat in FANTASY LIFE i is simple but snappy. You’ve got a basic attack and a heavy attack, light hits are quick and safe, while heavy attacks hit harder but chew through some SP. Each Combat Life you pick comes with its own Unique Action too, so experiment and see what clicks.
When the heat’s too much, you can dodge incoming blows or be a total pacifist and sheathe your weapon to disengage in battle and just run away.
Dodge and Counter
| Action | PlayStation | Xbox | Switch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dodge | |
|
|
| Counter | |
|
|
Dodging isn’t just a panic button, if you pull off a perfect dodge right before the enemy strike lands, you can immediately launch a counterattack. Time it right and you’ll deal damage while avoiding it.
Perfecting this move saves HP and is especially useful during boss fights!
Targetting Enemies
| Action | PlayStation | Xbox | Switch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target |  |
 |
 |
Locking on keeps your focus on one foe so your strikes actually land where you want them.
Especially clutch during boss fights when the last thing you need is a stray swing at a random enemy while a dragon’s breathing down your neck.
Status Effects
| Status Effect | Description |
|---|---|
| Poisoned | Take damage every few seconds |
| Paralysis | Unable to take actions for a short time |
| Burned | Defense and Magic Defense are reduced |
| Frostbite | Take extra damage when status is in effect and move/attack slower for a short time afterwards. |
| Sleep (Enemy Only) |
Puts the enemy in a sleeping state. Enemy takes more damage from an attack while sleeping, but wakes it up afterward. |
Enemy attacks may sometimes inflict status effects. These disappear over time but you can use recovery items to remove them instatly.
Healing
Between flying swords and rogue status effects, you’re gonna need to heal.
Use HP Potions to patch yourself up and SP Potions to refuel your stamina bar for more attacks and dodging.
Register Items to Your Bag for Easy Access
Register healing items or Bombs to your quick-use bag so you’re not fumbling through menus mid-fight.
Nothing’s worse than dying while scrolling past seven types of apples.
How to Register Items in Your Bag
Unique Actions Per Combat Life
| Combat Life | Unique Attack |
|---|---|
| Paladin | Shield |
| Mercenary | Charging |
| Hunter | Hunter Step and Arrow Rain |
| Magician | Meditation and Arcane Arts |
Paladins Can Use A Shield
When you’ve got the Paladin Life equipped, you can bust out a Shield to block enemy attacks and cut down the damage you take.
As you climb the ranks, you’ll unlock a slick counterattack you can trigger after a successful block!
Mercenaries Can Charge Their Attcacks
Hold down the Unique Button to have your Mercenary charge up. While charged, their attacks hit harder for a short time.
Hunters Can Perform Hunter Step and Arrow Rain
Hunter Step is a quick dodge that lets you avoid danger while keeping the perfect distance to stay annoying.
Hold the attack button and you’ll unleash Arrow Rain, an AoE move that showers enemies with arrows. It costs SP though, so don’t go spamming it unless you’ve got deep SP Potions in reserve.
Hunters Can Also Switch Arrow Types
Level up your Hunter Life Rank and you’ll unlock new arrow types, some of which inflict status effects.
Magicians Can Meditate and Use Arcane Arts
Just like Mercenaries charge, Magicians can Meditate to boost magic attack power and reduce SP costs.
Hold the attack button and you’ll cast Arcane Arts, a beefed-up magic attack that eats SP but deals chunky damage.
Switch Magic Types
As your Magician Life Rank goes up, you’ll unlock new spell types: attack, defense, healing, you name it.
Swap between them as needed to stay alive or wipe the floor with whatever’s in your way.
