Tutorials — 2

Promote early

Tutorial

Within Exalted, promoting your units is encouraged to be done earlier than in the original game.

Maximum stats are lower than usual while promotion bonuses are increased.

In the next chapter from now, you can freely purchase master seals in the shop at a much reduced price.

Do not hesitate to promote each unit if you can avoid it. From this point onward, you will be facing higher tier foes.

Of course, it's still wise to reserve some bonus experience to take advantage of stats reaching their maximum before promotion.

Siege and long-range enemies

Tutorial

Enemies that have siege tomes and long ranged staves cannot move and take their action at the same time.

Take advantage of this by staying outside of their range and forcing them to move.

Alternatively; being in range of them to prevent movement, allowing you to easily dispatch them on the following turn!

Helpful Tips carried here — 5

Gold

Helpful Tip

Do not be overly concerned with conserving gold between maps. Each one should provide a decent amount of gold to be spent within the next chapter.

Availability

Helpful Tip

Several units have had significant changes to their availability. Don't be too afraid to give any specific unit investment or resources with this in mind.

Curse

Helpful Tip

Cursed weapons will inflict two stacks of Poison to the defending unit when attacked by light magic. Poison is capped at three stacks.

Skill Combos II

Helpful Tip

When two skills are listed for a combo, either skill can be equipped to grant its bonus. Some combos can occur with a unit's personal skill for easier access.

Weapon Penalties

Helpful Tip

Boss units with the Veteran skill will ignore penalties that some weapons have while countering, including brave weapons not being able to attack consecutively.

  1. Yes, that's what I heard! What with that light... and that silver...

  2. Could she... Could she be the Silver-Haired Maiden?

  3. Micaiah

    Hm?

  4. Oh, it is! It is you!

  5. Oh... Oh, my...

  6. You're fighting with King Ashnard's son to free Daein, aren't you? Oh, we've heard so much about you!

  7. Oh...what a blessing! What a blessing!

  8. We're all waiting! We're waiting for the day you free us from those filthy Begnion pigs!

  9. Please...take...this.

  10. It's not much, but people from all over the village pitched in.

  11. Micaiah

    Oh, no, I couldn't possibly...

  12. Sothe

    Thank you. We appreciate your kindness.

  13. ...

  14. We're all counting on you! Please, free us!

  15. Micaiah

    ...

  16. Sothe

    Looks like Izuka's propaganda is working fast.

  17. Micaiah

    Mm.

  18. Sothe

    You didn't want me to take the money, did you?

  19. Micaiah

    It's not that. It's just... Oh, never mind.

  20. Sothe

    Oh, come on. What did I do this time? You're not going to say? Great. In that case, let's get out of here and go find the others.
