Difficulty Settings and Differences

How Does Permadeath Work?

Permadeath Applies to Party Wipes Only

For Permadeath to fully apply, an entire unit has to be wiped out first. When a party gets wiped out during a Battle Stage, it will trigger a short dialogue from the unit leader and they all retreat from the battlefield.

Stock up on Revival Orbs and healing items to ensure survivability in Battle Stages!

Wiped Out Units Labeled as Retreated

After a Battle Stage, wiped out units will be labeled as Retreated and cannot be revived.

When this happens, they cannot be deployed anymore so you must hire new mercenaries at a Fort or City to replace them, grind Stage Battles for EXP, or use Military Treatise to level up quickly.

How to Avoid Permadeath Wipes
