Consumable items provide temporary buffs, healing, or status effect removal during battles or on the overworld map. These include various types of 'Potions' for restoring HP or PP, 'Elixirs' for restoring AP, and 'Antidotes' or 'Panaceas' for curing status ailments. Some consumables can also provide temporary stat boosts, such as 'Attack Up' or 'Defense Up' items. While you can't use consumables directly during tactical combat, many can be used on the overworld map to heal units between engagements or before a major battle. Stocking up on essential consumables from shops is a good practice, especially before embarking on challenging missions. Remember that some powerful consumables are rare and best saved for boss encounters or critical situations. Managing your inventory of consumables is an important aspect of resource management.
