Tips
- Use Blazing Sword and Hammer of Might against most enemies, setting them to Confirm to conserve HP and MP. A Regeneration Symbol for Fayt is highly recommended.
- Avoid Animated Armors as they are tough and immune to Fire. Nel can defeat them with Kagebarai, but she rejoins later. If you want Nel to keep up in levels, retrieve her as soon as possible.

- The AAA BT is difficult to achieve in the Training Area and is better attempted later with multi-hit counter auras.
