Battles are played on grid-based maps from an overhead tactical view. Players command units to move, attack, cast spells, and use items while paying attention to turn order, terrain height, attack range, and class roles. Characters gain experience through combat and develop over time, unlocking new capabilities as the story advances. Progress is structured around story chapters, with battles separated by dialogue scenes and party management.
Clint
One of the main protagonists, a determined mercenary caught in the war and its political consequences.
Joshua
The other central mercenary figure, whose path and loyalties become increasingly complicated.
Build a balanced team with melee, ranged, and healing support. Use high ground and choke points to control the battlefield and improve damage output. Focus early growth on mobility and recovery options, then add stronger area attacks and control skills later. Against tougher enemies, clear weaker units first and concentrate attacks on key targets to avoid being surrounded.
Tips
Check your class balance before each battle so you always have healing or support available.
Tips
Fast units should seize high ground or narrow routes early to make fights easier.
Tips
Do not overextend after chasing one enemy; formation matters more than isolated damage.
