Basic Tips[edit]

Gameplay[edit]

Look at Enemy Demon Stats

You can check if the opposing demons have been awakened, look at their skills and unlocked spirit panels, and the HP/atk/def values before you enter a fight. Pick your fights wisely and select the correct demons for each situation.

Checking enemies' agility (Ag) stats is particularly important in selecting which targets to take out first when you are running a team with moderate to high evasion (ex: for a typical enemy team of Rama / Mother Harlot / Guan Yu / Masakado, turn order would typically be that as well. Muting that team and dodging Rama and Mother Harlot means you have free shots at Guan Yu and Masakado if you can continue to mute the enemy team)

Make use of Pass

If you're short of MP, make sure to pass. Getting as much MP around to your demons should be your priority - so try to fit in your actions at 1/2 Press Turn.

Yellow Yellow Jack Frost and Pyro Jack are extremely helpful for getting more MP & actions for your main demons.

Target Selection

Pick your targets carefully - take out the most threatening demons on the enemy team first. This also includes demons that may have Samrecarm/Recarmdra.

Recommended Liberators[edit]

Eileen

Low chance to Pass for free. Has a chance to give press turns whenever you hit max amount of random hits.

Meat Balloon

Gives increased damage the more members of your party dies. Also can proc Rakukaja from taking magic damage, and Tarunda from getting hit by a crit. Chance to get an extra press turn when at least one allied demon is down, and chance to proc "full-heal endure" on your last member, to sometimes pull you out of a losing spot.

Kangaroo Boxer

Gives increased damage per demon killed. Going first grants your demons increased critical chance, and if your team is slower than the enemy, there's still a chance of going first.

Templar Dragon

Charge + Concentrate becomes a lot more effective with her, and healing done is increased for your demons.

Shionyan

For use with status ailment infliction teams. Also not bad with +10 Ma stat and low chance to gain 1mp every turn.
