How to play? Aselia Spirit of Eternal Sword

[DrWise]

I ve heard a lot saying it is a good game.
Well, since it is a very unusual RPG : how to play (the battle)?
What i know till now is to attack (but without able to control it like how to block a fireball or how to make special movements...), and how to train yourself (but still don't know the use of the training menu).
Are there any other options (of battle) ? :confused:
If not, i don't see any tactic and strategy in this game. :(

It would be great if someone gives his precious time making me some screenshots to explain. :D

Mmmm... This is what I remember at this time. And, sorry for no screen shots, since accident wiped out most of my jgames in my comp. Anyway...

3 spirits make one group. First one is attacker, second one is defender and third one is supporter.

There are at least 4 kind of spirits

-Blue: Aseria and others: Best offense and can block the magic. So, you probably want to make them as a offender or supporter.
-Red: Orupa (sp?) and others: Best offensive supporter. Orupa stars out slowly, but if you upgrade consistantly, she will get some powerful magic. Pretty much all time supporter.
-Green: Esperia and others: Best defender and healer as a supporter. Emergancy attacker as well.
-Black: I didn't typically use them much, but they can lower enemies' defense. Heard that Ururuka's final attack is capable of beating the final boss.

I just form couple strong groups. My favorite group is Aseria as an attacker, Esperia as a defender, and your main character as a supporter and pump up red aura magic (you will get that afer few level up), which add more offense.

You need to train your spirits and build many facilities, and you get to do that like after chapter 2 or after you slain dragon. In order for you to do it, you need a mana. You can acquire mana by conquering cities or slain dragons. Also, you need to convert mana to something you can use. In order for you to do that, you need a crystal building. You really don't need to build LV 10, since LV 7 or 8 can be enough (convert around 20000 mana per week), and more than that will be just a waste of mana. Also, you just need one, not one for every cities. You need an Arena to train your spirits. Tower can be pretty decent, but I find blue, red, black, green building pretty useless. And, you do need last building, in order to upgrade spirit's class when they level up.

As you train your spirits, they will acquire skills. You can usually acquire trainers as you conquer cities, but sometimes, Esperia informs you about special trainers. Some skills require certain level of your 'heart level'. It goes down by one whenever you kill the spirit and it goes up when you conquer cities.

That's all I can come up at this point...

WOW, thx.
But do you know how to block magic, heal, or lower defence...
Is it done automaticaly as you select your skill ?
If yes, so you can only use one sill per battle, isn't it?

[Lenneth]

Yes. Skills are prearranged before the battle start (double click the roster before the battle starts to choose skills) and the battle goes automatically.

I got stucked at the second mission (against the first all-rounder) : she just makes 2 fireball to take my aseria (attacker) down... :(

Do you still remenber what shall do in this situation?

[Lenneth]

I am not too sure, but I think you can put Aseria or any blue spirit to the support role and block the magic. Other than black's support, blue can block any normal magic. If they can't, it's probably because their block magic skill level is too low.

I'm sure this post is buried in the depths of time, but yeah I'd like some help also...or I could get out the dictionary and very very slowly translate everything -_-a
Also, after hte first fight I had 1000 exp to raise my level 1 orphilia, however, I could not see what I was raising at all in the skill lists I've found online.
So someone tell me...what are they raising?

Also, refilling skills midbattles, is it possible?
Otherwise I run out -_-

Also, maybe it's just me, but I swear timing your clicks with attacks gives criticals or with defending gives the attacker status effects.
(Ok nevermind, just testing a lot of things)

[Lenneth]

Mmm... It has been a while since I played this game, but I believe at least some HPs are going up with each level up, and possibly some other skills. However, in order to gain skill sets, you need to reach certain levels, and it doesn't happen with each level up.

As far as I believe you can't refill skills.

I doubt that clicking will do anything, since you can downright skip watching the battle scene (I believe)...
