Bonus experience thresholds

Tutorial

Meeting bonus experience turn thresholds can prove to be very challenging to reach, particularly the maximum.

It's not recommended to always aim for the maximum threshold if this is your first time playing.

Instead, aiming for the secondary turn threshold will still grant a decent reward while being easier to achieve.

This may allow you to optimise combat experience or valuable drops, steals and other rewards.

As such, do not feel discouraged to press onward without obtaining the full amount.

Siege tomes

Tutorial

Siege tomes are incredibly useful weapons that can allow mages to deal damage to foes from a long distance away.

However, when they're cast, they operate on a cooldown system that prevents usage on consecutive turns.

If a unit is holding a tome that is on cooldown, they'll be unable to use other siege tomes until it's avaliable once again.

While powerful, you may want want to conserve their usage with that in mind.

Helpful Tips carried here — 3

Forging

Helpful Tip

Each type of forged weapon has its own unique perk besides the modified stats and coin bonus. You can check these using before selecting.

Enemy Skills

Helpful Tip

From this point onwards, enemy bosses and Exalted units will always have at least one skill. All other generic foes will not have them, so you won't need to check them individually.

Hidden Bonuses

Helpful Tip

Personal skills that contain the icon have a hidden bonus or mechanic that is not immediately revealed. These can be viewed underneath growth rates within the base.

  1. Micaiah

    Sothe, have you noticed...

  2. Sothe

    Yes. Ever since we arrived here.

  3. ...

  4. Sothe

    What should we do?

  5. Micaiah

    Hmm, I can't sense any malice. Whoever it is doesn't seem to mean us any harm, but... Yes, let's do it.

  6. Sothe

    All right. On three, then. One...two...three!

  7. Ahh!

  8. Meg

    Hey!

  9. Micaiah

    There, now we can see your face.

  10. Sothe

    You're...a girl?

  11. Meg

    I-I'm sorry!

  12. Micaiah

    No! Wait! Please don't run!

  13. Meg

    ...

  14. Micaiah

    My name is Micaiah. Don't be afraid.

  15. Sothe

    Have you gone mad? Don't tell her your name! We're on the run, remember?

  16. Micaiah

    It's all right. She's not after us.

  17. Meg

    ...

  18. Micaiah

    This is my...brother, Sothe. We're from Nevassa.

  19. Meg

    Oh...uhh...hi there.

  20. Micaiah

    And you are?

  21. Meg

    I'm Meg.

  22. Sothe

    What are you doing out here on the edge of the desert?

  23. Meg

    I'm looking for someone. Someone very important. Someone close to my heart...

  24. Micaiah

    All by yourself?

  25. Meg

    Yes.

  26. Sothe

    You're meeting someone way out here?

  27. Meg

    I'm not sure, exactly.

    All I know is that this is where he came before he disappeared. I thought maybe he went into the desert...

  28. Micaiah

    What a coincidence. We're also looking for someone in the desert. Would you like to come along?

  29. Meg

    Really? Are you sure?

  30. Micaiah

    Of course.

  31. Meg

    Oh, thank you! I've been so lonely since I left Crimea all on my own.

  32. Sothe

    You came all the way from Crimea? I'm surprised you made it this far.

  33. Micaiah

    That's it then. Welcome aboard, Meg. You're one of us now.
