Example Strategies

While some missions don't have any special conditions, some are affected by "curses", which will give you a handicap. To be able to overcome these handicaps, you'll need to be creative on which items, pets and skills to use.

Here are examples on how some challenges could be overcome:

• You are not able to heal at all. You will need items that allow you to dodge better, and boost your HP and DEF in case you do get hit.

• You will only face lone enemies, but they have much higher defense than normally. ATK won’t help you here if you’re not able to break through the enemy defenses. Use attacks that pierce a single enemy’s defense, or attacks that deal damage that is not related to the enemy’s DEF stat. An example would be a skill that always deals a fixed percentage of damage (e.g. 20%) based on the enemy’s total HP.

• Enemies take only 1-3 damage from every hit, but have low HP. ATK is not very helpful here either. You will need pets and skills that hit enemies with multiple times to deal more damage. A powerful attack that only hits once will not be very useful here.

• Enemies can only be damaged from pet attacks. If you can’t deal damage yourself, you should concentrate on shielding yourself from enemy attacks by raising your DEF and HP stats, and buffing your pets with items and skills that increase their power. Some pets also become more powerful when exposed to certain conditions, so those should be kept in mind as well!

Your playing style will also determine how you want to approach building your setup. If you want to play it safe, you will benefit from strong defense and high HP. Riskier play styles often sacrifice defense in exchange for offensive power, but these may backfire, as you're very vulnerably to enemy attack manages to connect! A player with high DEF and HP doesn’t need to worry as much about taking a few hits now and then. However, if you feel like you are skilled enough to execute riskier strategies, go ahead!

Here are examples of interesting high risk-reward strategies :

• Using the Electrocution ability will deal massive damage to all enemies at once, but will also damage you!

• Using the Charge Beam ability will deal a lot of damage to a single target, but is difficult to fully boost. If you play it safe, you will only gain modest damage boosts. If you take a risk, you have a change of dealing a lot of damage, but should you fail the boost, you will take damage yourself!

• The Keyboard item will allow you to deal more damage with successful boosts, but make timing of each boost harder.
