Players command an army on grid maps, moving units one at a time to attack, heal, use items, or position for defense. Battles are governed by accuracy, critical hits, weapon durability, and class matchups, so every turn matters. The campaign is divided into chapters with story progression, town visits, shops, and support functions for managing equipment and healing. Units gain experience from combat and level up, while promotion and weapon choice shape long-term strategy.

Strategy
Protect high-value units carefully, since permanent loss is a defining risk of the game. Use weapon advantage and terrain bonuses to create favorable exchanges, and let mounted and flying units handle rescue, pursuit, and map traversal. Keep healers safe and level them steadily, and do not overextend for extra damage when the enemy can counterattack effectively. Before major chapters, check weapon durability and distribute resources to your best long-term units.
