How to Use Characters

Characters are used for combat and exploration in the overworld, domains, quests, and events. Players can directly control their units to defeat enemies with battle-related skills, or solve puzzles with travelling-related perks!

A player outside of co-op can normally have a maximum of four characters in a party. However, you can only use one character at a time.
