- Defense

- Strategy and tips
- Combat strategy
- The character you choose will determine the type of strategy and build you will use.
- Isabela
- Isabela plays quick and fast. She earns attacks quickly and has evasive skills.
- Players who main her will want to play aggressively and quickly. Collect as many attacks as you can to wear an enemy down before they have a chance to retaliate.
- If you play as Isabela, bolster your attack strength to improve your speed.
- Caldur
- Players who main Calder will prefer to wear down enemies with large, powerful attacks that take time to charge.
- Calder takes things slow and relies on his ability to regenerate hit points while attacking.
- Focus on bolstering your attack strength and hit points to finish off your enemies with large, powerful finishers.
- Marwin
- Marwin has more powers but is physically weaker than the others. He depends heavily on the shield and his abilities to bolster his defenses.
- His special attacks start off weak, but have a lingering effect that gradually weakens the enemy for a time.
- He starts off with his mana meter full from the get go, so use it immediately.
- Focus on collecting mana to keep his powers charged and ready.
- Other tips
- Pick your battles carefully.
- Choose monsters that are around your level.
- The game helpfully lists down your opponent’s abilities in the overworld before you load the battle. This can help you prepare your hero for the battle.
- If you don’t feel confident enough, you can always level grind. This involves replaying a previous opponent so you can slowly build up skill points and level up.
- Prioritize the stats you charge. You’ll need to focus on specific stats depending on your game strategy.
- In general, attack is the most important stat to charge while coins are the least important.
- Focus on finding attack icons in groups of 4 to charge your attacks faster.
- The second most important is mana. Collect mana in between attacks to charge your powers.
- Next in line of importance are defense and boosts. Defense is key if you’re going for a turtling or booming strategy that focuses on wearing out an enemy.
- Boosts are more important if you’re going for an aggressive strategy that has the battle finished quickly.
- While coins aren’t important battle-wise, they do help you upgrade your weapons.
- Choose your ability set wisely.
- Always have an ability on hand that lets you rejuvenate your hit points.
- Likewise, pick a heavy hitter ability that acts as a finisher.
- Each character gravitates toward specific abilities that suit their preferred strategies.
- Watch the stats and ability sets of your opponents. This will help you anticipate their moves.
- If they’re still charging, you can attack them to wear them out.
- If they appear to be poised to attack in their next turn, attack them on your turn.
- If you have abilities that let you steal their mana, do so when they’ve just finished charging.
- Likewise, if you’re in a tight spot, you can try to predict when your enemies will attack. On your turn, that should be your cue to heal.
- See if you can make a move on the field that can deny your enemy the ability to charge.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for both turn-based RPG fans and connect 3 in a row fans of all ages.
- The game has no adult themed content.
