Use the Sacred Treasures
The Sacred Treasures aren't only used to make farming quicker, but they can also be used offensively. Each Sacred Treasure has its own unique set of attacks and moves you can use during battles which use Rune Points (RP).
Use Spirit Gauge Attacks
Each Sacred Treasure has their own Dance Stance moves which use up the Spirit Gauge meter. These moves are often effective against a large group of enemies, which can be a great way to clear up a crowd.
Forge the Best Available Weapon
Your equipped weapon is your primary way to deal damage, so it is recommended to forge the best weapon available from the blacksmith.
Additionally, you can upgrade these weapons to improve their stats and to help you catch up against tougher enemies.
Shoot Enemies WIth a Bow
Once you progress through the game, you'll get access to using bows which can be useful to deal with enemies from far away.
Try to snipe any opponents that are attacking you from a distance so you can continue fending off any enemies near you.
Stock Up on Dishes
Dishes are your main way to recover health and RP during combat, as you can consume this mid-battle. Always make it a habit to cook dishes before you leave to explore so you always have a way to restore your health and RP.
Avoid Debuffs
| Debuff | Effect |
|---|---|
| Poison | Drains HP. |
| Curse | Drains RP. |
| Paralysis | Decreased movement speed and strength (ATK). |
| Weak | Decreased movement speed and vitality (DEF). |
| Sleep | Decreased speed and intelligence (M.ATK). |
You may get inflicted with debuffs which will affect your stats and leave you disadvantaged during fights. Try to avoid getting these debuffs so you can stay in tiptop shape during combat!
Aim for Perfect Dodges and Counters
Avoiding an enemy's attack before it lands will make you perform a perfect dodge, which will slow down time and open up a window of opportunity for you to launch a counterattack.
This can be useful against tough enemies with a lot of health, as it can help you deal high damage in a short amount of time.
Move While Charging Heavy Attack
Your weapons' heavy attacks can be unlocked in the respective weapon tree at the Skill Tree menu.
Heavy attacks can deal more damage compared to quick combos, but these need to be charged. Fortunately, you can move around a little while charging your heavy attacks, in case you need to reposition to avoid enemy attacks.
Use Victory Dance
Later on in the story once you reach The Astral Shrine, you will unlock the Victory Dance ability which allows you to get buffs for your entire party.
You can perform this once a day and the effects will be more effective if you have more villagers in your care.

Craft and Upgrade Weapons
Your equipped weapons will be your main source of damage, so it is useful to equip the best possible weapon that you can get from the blacksmith.
Upgrading your weapons will allow you to fend off tougher monsters that you may encounter while exploring.
Explore with Party Members
Including other characters in your party will help you fight enemies as they will also engage in combat.
You can also give them better weapons to increase their damage output.
All Characters and Gifts Guide
Increase Stats with Buildings
Buildings that you place in your farms can give you stat bonuses. These directly affect your offense and survivability, so try to place as many buildings as you can.
Level Up
You may have a hard time fighting against enemies that have higher levels than you, so try to only fight those that have the same level with you. This way, you can have an easier time raising your level.

Obtain Skill Nodes
You can get various stat boosts, moves, and better skills from skill nodes found in skill trees. If you are still having a hard time fighting enemies, remember to get new skill nodes.
