How to Fight in MementoMori
Automatically Simulated Combat with Turn-Based Progression
MementoMori is an AFKRPG, meaning all in-game battles across all modes are automatically simulated and run by the game program. Battles in MementoMori progress in a turn-based pattern wherein two opposing teams take turns attacking after the first strike.
This also means that you cannot control and command your units during combat. The combat does not rely on any input from the player, but does require pre-battle preparations and can be fast-forwarded.
Pre-Battle Preparations are Important
The outcome of battles can be determined by a number of factors including your units' skills and skill synergy, stats, weapons, level, party composition, party level, and more.
Each Unit's SPD Stat Determines Who Strikes First
Whoever gets the first strike in battle depends on the individual SPD (Speed) stat of each team's units. If your units have higher SPD stats than the enemy, then you'll have a higher probability of attacking or using their skills first.
It is highly recommended to invest in your units' SPD stats, especially during the late game, where there are possible situations that enemies can one-shot your entire party.
Don't Chase After Battle Power (BP)
Battle Power or BP is a number that indicates how much raw power a certain unit has, depending on its stats. In general, the higher your party's overall BP, the bigger the chance that you'll win a battle. However, take note that this isn't always the case.
There could be times when your party will be beaten by an enemy despite having a higher BP. This is because combat in MementoMori can be affected by other factors like skills.
You'll need to make sure that your units' skills complement each other, and that they have specific stat advantages over the enemy. This is especially important in PvE, since enemy parties will eventually outlevel your party in terms of levels.
In situations where you are underleveled, winning battles will boil down to having the highest SPD stat and the capacity to deal the most amount of damage in the shortest amount of time. So keep in mind that simply increasing characters' BP will not cut it alone.
Party Composition and Synergy are Key to Winning
The types of units you choose to include in your party composition also greatly affect the outcome of battles in MementoMori. This also means that it is important to strategize with team comp and synergizing your units' skills against the enemy party. Currently, the meta comp comprises 1-2 DPS and up to 4 Supports.
Each unit has a certain set of skills that they'll use in battle. These skills can have different conditions that affect how they work and their targets. However, with how the game works, take note that some skills may or may not activate at all. This also affects the overall usefulness of your chosen witch in battle.
For example, Hathor has a passive skill that increases her ATK stats, that is, if she hasn't taken damage for two turns. Florence possesses an active skill that increases the number of attacks she deals with every Critical Hit she lands.
It also affects attributes such as skill slots. For instance, R units have 3 skills, while SR units have 4 skills, which may affect the tides of battle due to the imbalances of skills available at play. So, we recommend getting as many high-rated units as you can.
Moreover, if you're fighting against a boss that heals their allies or increases their DEF, we recommend bringing along a support unit that can nullify the enemy's healing. Additionally, make sure your DPS' DEF Break stat is at its highest possible level always.
Position Your Units Properly
| Sample Team Comp | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support | DPS | Support | Support | Support |
 Merlyn
|
 Cordie
or  Florence
|
 Mimi
|
 Primavera
|
 Soltina
|
Take note that certain units have skills that will only affect the character it is next to or adjacent to. So pay attention to the organization of your party comp. For instance, Merlyn's passive skill only affects the character adjacent to her, and so it is recommended to strategically place her at the very top of the comp next to your main DPS.
Take Note of the Three Unit Types and Four Main Stats
Characters in MementoMori come in three different classes: Warriors, Snipers, and Sorcerers. Warriors and Snipers deal Physical damage, while Sorcerers deal Magical damage.
Each character, or unit, also has four stats that determine their effectiveness in battle. These are Strength, Dexterity, Magic, and Stamina. There are various ways to level up your stats, but deciding which stat to prioritize increasing depends on the unit's role during battle and the availability of your own resources such as Kindling Orbs, gold, EXP, Space-Time Coins, and more.
Upgrade the Correct Gear
While Awakening is the primary way to make your units more powerful, getting the right gear becomes increasingly important as you reach level cap.
Not only does the proper gear increase your unit's stats, but attaching the proper Runes, augmenting, and reforging your gear can greatly upgrade your character.
