Tension Points (TP) are crucial for Ralsei's healing spells and Susie's powerful Dark Magic attacks. Efficient TP management is key to surviving tough battles and executing pacifist strategies.
- Defend: The most reliable way to gain TP is by having party members 'DEFEND'. Each character defending grants a small amount of TP. This is especially useful when you don't need to attack or ACT.
- Dodge Attacks: Successfully dodging enemy attacks (especially 'grazing' bullets by letting them pass very close) grants a significant amount of TP. Practice your bullet-hell dodging skills!
- ACTs: Some ACTs, particularly Kris's, can generate TP or set up conditions for other party members to gain TP.
- Accessories: Certain accessories can boost TP gain per turn or per action. Keep an eye out for these.
- Prioritize Ralsei's Healing: Always ensure Ralsei has enough TP for 'Heal Prayer' or 'Dual Heal'. If his TP is low, have other party members defend to build it up.
By actively managing your TP, you can ensure your party is always ready to heal, deal burst damage, or perform the necessary ACTs for a pacifist victory.
