The Basics of Combat
Battle Flow
If you swing at an enemy on the field, or simply run into them, you will initiate a battle.
Battles progress in real time, and the characters you are not controlling directly will act automatically.
You will win the battle when you reduce the HP of all enemies to 0.
In turn, if HP of all party members reaches 0, you will lose and return to your base.
Note: In some battles, you will fight multiple waves of enemies one after another.
Gathering Tools and Battles
Each gathering tool grants a different advantage when you use it to initiate a battle.
It's helpful to use the right gathering tool depending on your party's stats and the attributes of the monsters you're fighting.
The effects of each gathering tool can be viewed through Main Menu > Guide > Help.

| Staff | Begin the battle with an extra Tactics Level. |
| Grass Sickle | Begin the battle with an extra Tactics Level and reduce the ATK of all enemies. |
