Tactical Bonuses

Master Tactical Bonuses in The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon! Learn how to maximize your rewards in both Field and Command Battles with this quick guide.

Alright, let's talk about Tactical Bonuses in The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon. These are super important because they give you extra rewards at the end of battles, and who doesn't want more stuff? You get bonuses for doing specific things, and they add up to a multiplier for your final score. We'll break down how to get them in both Field Battles and Command Battles.

Field Battles

These are the battles you run into while exploring the world map. Here's what you can aim for:

Bonus Name	Multi.	Condition
Unscathed	0.2	Win without the party lead taking damage.
Perfect Dodger	0.1	Successfully perform a perfect dodge.
Charge Attacker	0.1	Hit an enemy with a charge attack.
Quick Sorcerer	0.1	Hit an enemy with a Quick Art.
SCLM Charger	0.2	Hit an enemy with a SCLM Charge (will also activate Charge Attacker).
Swapper	0.1	Damage the enemy with multiple party leaders.
ZOC	0.1	Use a ZOC attack during a Field Battle.

If you manage to get all of these, your total bonus multiplier for Field Battles is 0.9. Not bad, right?

Command Battles

These are your more traditional turn-based fights. There are a lot more opportunities for bonuses here, so pay attention:

Bonus Name	Multi.	Condition
Unscathed	0.2	Win without any party members taking damage.
Swapper	0.1	Swap in support members
First STrike	0.2	Successfully initiate an encounter with an advantage.
Triple SCLM	0.2	Activate an SCLM chain or SCLM support 3 times.
EX Chain	0.3	Initiate an EX Chain during a Command Battle.
Bag of Tricks	0.4	Use 3 items.
Seven Rush	0.3	Move allies 7 times in a row.
Vanquisher	0.4	Defeat 4 or more enemies with a single attack.
Vengeance	0.6	Win the battle while HP is low.
Canceller	0.3	Cancel an enemy's skill or arts.
Triple Stun	0.4	Stun an enemy 3 times.
Tederizer	0.2	Attack an enemy with the element it's weak to.
Excel Craft	0.2	Succeed with a craft's side or back attack.
Super Chain	0.2	Achieve a 20-chain hit.
Hyper Chain	0.5	Achieve a 50-chain hit.
Miracle Chain	0.8	Achieve a 90-chain hit.
ZOC	0.1	Perform an action while using ZOC during a Command Battle.
Multi-BLTZ	0.1	Activate BLTZ 2 times during a Command Battle.
Shard Commander	0.1	Use a Shard Command during a Command Battle.

Getting all of these in Command Battles can net you a massive 5.6 multiplier! It takes some practice, but aiming for these will really boost your rewards.

Pro Tip: Don't stress too much about getting every single bonus at once, especially when you're just starting out. Focus on the ones that are easiest to achieve for you and your party's strengths. As you get more comfortable with the combat system, you can start aiming for the trickier ones like the high-chain hits or 'Vanquisher'. Good luck!
