Episode 1: Story 2

Dried Up Wasteland: This stage is a tutorial for the battle system, introducing Base Panel deployment, attacking, combos, and Team Attacks. After the tutorial, you will battle two Lv. 1 Fighters and two Lv. 1 Fury Fatalists. Killia starts at level 3.

Character Creation: After the first battle, you are required to create at least one new character. Talk to the Recruiter NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) to see available options. You need HL (the game’s currency) to create characters. It is recommended to create a Witch/Magician for elemental spells and a Cleric/Clergy for healing and the Espoir spell. When choosing a character's capability, avoid 'Good-for-Nothing' as it requires removing five stat points. Equip your new recruits and proceed to the next map via the Dimension Prinny.

Shriveled Vein: This battle tutorial covers Lifting and Throwing. The enemies are one Lv. 2 Logan, two Lv. 1 Fury Fatalists, two Lv. 1 Fighters. The Fighters have ranged weapons. Seraphina can snipe the Fighter on the ledge from a barrel. The rest of your troops can deal with the other Fighter to the right, then the Fury Fatalists, and finally Logan.

Arid Blood Zone: This battle has seven enemies: two Lv. 2 Imps, four Lv. 2 Petite Orcs, and one Lv. 2 Healer. Focus on the Orc and Imp near your Base Panel first, then move to the Orcs in the upper left. The Healer may move towards the other Imp but only has staff attacks. Be cautious of the Imps' Fire spells.

Immovable Atrium: This stage introduces Evilities (passive skills). Enemies include five Lv. 3 Petite Orcs, one Lv. 3 Lady Fighter, and two Lv. 2 Imps. Enemies hit slightly harder due to their increased level. Use your Healer/Cleric to mend wounds. The Lady Fighter is the only enemy with a new threat (a bow).

Sterile Atrium: This battle teaches Revenge Mode and Overload Skills. Enemies include five Lv. 4 Petite Orcs, two Lv. 4 Imps, one Lv. 4 Fighter, and one Lv. 5 Red Magnus (Neutral). The Revenge Gauge fills as you or allies take damage, or if an ally dies or an enemy in Revenge Mode is defeated. In Revenge Mode, your critical rate is 100%, SP cost for skills is 1, and damage taken is reduced by 25%. Overlords can use Overloads in Revenge Mode. Red Magnus is neutral and will attack anyone nearby. It is best to stay away from Red Magnus while he is in Revenge Mode and has activated his Overload, Super Olympia.
