Get Teleported to a Safe Spot

Prepare Healing Items and Skills

Before a hard battle, prepare a variety of healing items and healing skills from the Healer Archetype to have a way to recover HP during battle.

Use these items and skills when you are low in health and take the time to guard and play defensively against the enemy.

Use Fae Sight to Determine Enemy Strength

In dungeons, you can assess the enemy difficulty by using Fae Sight. Using Fae Sight allows you to check how difficult an enemy is in relation to your party's level.

Pick your battles carefully and don't go into a battle you are too underleveled for.

How to Use Fae Sight

Stun the Enemies Before Squad Battles

Stunning enemies before going into Squad Battles will let them lose a turn during their phase. Use this to attack full force and achieve Unscathed Triumph to increase your rewards after the battle.
