character of yours achieve the MVP Award.

Save-Abuse for Treasure/Stat Cards: To guarantee desired drops from enemies, save your game before battle. Position an Archer or Wizard to deliver the killing blow and immediately move onto the dropped treasure or Stat Card. This is easiest when few enemies remain or they are scattered. If immediate pickup isn't possible, try to kill the target enemy on one turn and have another party member act immediately after to minimize waiting time before checking the loot.

Strategic Saving: Save your game frequently, especially before initiating battles. This allows you to adjust your troop lineup if necessary, as the 'front row' isn't always the optimal position for your fighters. Sometimes, positioning to the left or right might offer a closer approach to enemies.

Efficient Training: During training battles, damage all characters until they are near death. This makes them easy targets for your party to defeat, allowing you to level up your characters efficiently. Avoid situations where you have a high-level, full-health Berserker and a low-health Cleric, as this will significantly slow down the leveling process.

Battle Shortcuts: In battle, press Circle to access the System menu, navigate to Options, and turn on '11. L1 Button Shortcut' and '12. R1 Button Shortcut'. Holding L1 + Circle allows you to scroll through the current Attack Order, which is useful for quickly seeing who will act next without manually checking unit weights.

Canopus' Luck Boost: Contrary to previous information, it's easiest to raise Canopus' Luck (LUK) to 57, as he starts with 55 and only needs one Luck Card (+2). Achieving this before the battle in Rime City (Chapter 1) grants an extra Orb and an Escape Gem or Blessing. The same items can be obtained again during the battle at Baramus at the end of the chapter.
