How to Use Mercedes

Tips on Using Mercedes

Pros	Helps balance out the melee and offense heavy Blue Lions house as the only magic user that heals. Ideal to have in most battle settings since she can deal great damage, and at the same time heal large amounts of HP to herself and her allies.
Cons	Her unique abilities restrict her to stay mostly in a branch under the Monk Class.

Mercedes Combos and Unique Abilities

Mercedes Unique Abilities

Ability Name	Type	Description
Radiant Love	Action	Attacking very slightly fills the Unique Ability Gauge and gradually restores HP. When the gauge is full, press ZR to damage enemies and heal allies.
Live to Serve	Support	When magic is used to restore an ally's HP, allows the caster to also recover half the amount of the restored HP.
Devotion	Tactical	When ordered to defend: reduces damage received from enemies by 30%.

Gremory Class Action

	Cast a powerful spell from the sky that volleys enemies in the air and deals a significant amount of damage.

Hold X to attack in a wide range in front of you. Specify the range with the Left Stick. The Class Gauge will charge over time and when landing strong attacks. Press and hold X during a strong attack to add the element of that strong attack to the next class action.

Gremory Combo List

	Throw enemies into the air with a tornado after a regular attack.
	After two regular attacks, use magic to create a spread out ice attack.
	Release a powerful beam down to the enemies in front of the caster to push them away after a series of regular attacks.
	Summon an exploding flame spell that targets enemies surrounding the caster after some regular attacks.
	Release a series of magic spells, and finish with a powerful lightning attack that stuns a large area of enemies in front of the caster.
	Unleash a series of magic spells and cast a powerful force field that deals damage to a large area surrounding the caster.
Spam	A combination of spells thrown at different directions, followed by two waves of magic on either side of the caster.
