The game combines town exploration and grid-based tactical combat. Players move through story locations, talk to characters, and accept objectives before entering battles on isometric maps. During combat, units act in turns, using positioning, terrain, and elemental or ability advantages to gain the upper hand. Characters level up through battle, and growth systems support gradual improvement over the course of the story.

Alfi

A supporting member of the group who focuses on magic and utility from the back line.

Lena

An important story character tied to the conflict surrounding the gods and witches.

Shure

A key combatant whose role helps drive the revelations about the ancient war.

Build a balanced team with a durable frontliner and a reliable healer or support unit. In battles, keep allies spread out to reduce the impact of area attacks, and use terrain and positioning to maximize damage while minimizing risk. When facing tougher enemies, clear smaller threats first and advance methodically instead of rushing the objective.
