Tutorials — 3

Edition class typing

Tutorial

In each version of Exalted, there's a unique class typing that changes depending on the specific one being played.

In Dark edition, wielders of dark magic will have this typing (), as well as several other classes.

Micaiah's Thani tome or Ike's Ettard will deal effective damage to foes of this typing, providing them with unique utility that adapts to other versions as well. There will also be specific weapons or units that deal similar bonus damage.

Saving the prisoners

Map tutorial

This map's primary objective is preventing the prisoners from being executed while ensuring your own safety.

However, so long as at least one prisoner survives, you will not lose this battle.

Additionally, you only need to save four of them for maximum bonus experience earned.

To prevent yourself from being overwhelmed in the center of the map, some sacrifices (to distract several foes) may be necessary.

Laguz ranks

Tutorial

Playable Laguz within Exalted have a level progression that affects their maximum stats, weapon rank and avaliable skills.

Once a Laguz reaches level 15, they will obtain a rank, granting them additional HP and increasing their maximum stats.

Laguz will gain an additional rank at level 23 and level 30. They'll also obtain a powerful skill at either of these ranks as well.

Keep in mind that a Laguz unit will only gain a rank the first time you leave the base for the current map, or after they've been deployed.

This can allow you to utilize bonus experience to increase lower stats, or take advantage of bonus skill capacity after returning to the base.

Helpful Tips carried here — 3

Herons

Helpful Tip

Herons now have the Sacrifice skill. While only situationally useful, it can allow them to cleanse conditions such as sleep or silence when required.

Weapon Ranks

Helpful Tip

Maximum weapon ranks for non-staves are always SS for Beorc units, no matter the class or tier. For staves, it's A rank besides specific units (S) and priests (SS).

Rafiel

Helpful Tip

Rafiel's bulk significantly increases while shifted, which is possible at any time (Formshift). However, he loses movement in exchange for lower terrain costs (but can't climb).

Dialogue
  1. Tauroneo

    Sorry about this, Lady Micaiah. Just this once, I agree with Lord Izuka's concerns.

  2. Micaiah

    I completely understand. This is my fight, and mine alone. Please keep the prince safe, General Tauroneo.

  3. Sothe

    I'll protect Micaiah. I've enlisted extra help, too. We'll make it back in one piece.

  4. Tauroneo

    I place my trust in you, Sothe. Best of luck. Oh, I nearly forgot. You should take this.

  5. Micaiah

    What a peculiar staff... What power does it possess?

  6. Tauroneo

    It is a restore staff. It will help you recover from poison, sleep, and paralysis.

    Enemies will use every method they possess to destroy you. It is best that you be prepared for every eventuality.

  7. Micaiah

    Thank you, General Tauroneo. We will return safely.

  8. Tauroneo

    I know. And I know you'll save the hostages, too.
