 ====== Intermediate combat knowledge ======
+This article contains intermediate information about how to battle in @Party. For those wanting to learn the basics, see the page on [[basic_combat_knowledge|basic combat knowledge]].
+===== Facing formidable foes =====
+When fighting enemies who are stronger than you, simply attacking and healing alone won't cut it. This is when support skills really come in handy.
+==== Strategy example ====
+  * If the enemy is mainly using physical attacks, lower their accuracy and agility.
+  * If the enemy is mainly using magic, lower their MP or seal their ability to use magic.
+  * If the enemy uses skills that buff their attack and defense power, disable the buff with WeaponBreak or ArmorBreak.
+===== Skill acquisition or stat upgrades? =====
+You will be able to change jobs once you hit level 20 (and beyond), but if you change jobs right away, your stats will remain low for a long time. Eventually you may find it very difficult to fight in quest locations with stronger enemies.
+If you learned some powerful skills early on, don't feel pressured to change jobs right away. If you change jobs after reaching a higher level, you will develop a high-stats character.
+===== Skill collaboration =====
+Even if a skill seems useless on its own, there are many skills that can be made more powerful by teaming up with other players who have skills that work well with yours.
+Example: ''@SoberingSlap''\\
+When it's 2-on-1, the opponent may not be able to do anything.
+Example: ''@Nap'' + ''@DawnChorus''\\
+If HP is 600 or more, it recovers more than @Meditation, and it only consumes 5 MP.
+Example: ''@DoubleUp'' + a recovery skill (or status buff)\\
+By applying the temporary status in reverse, you'll recover twice as much as usual.
+Example: ''@Kamikazee'' + ''@Life'' + ''@ShareMagic''\\
+Continuous hits of one of the strongest InstantDeath skills.
+===== Combining skills =====
+Even the weakest skills can have their effects multiplied by learning compatible skills.
+Example: ''@Padfoot'' + ''@Lambpede'' (alternatively ''@Chocobuckle'' or ''@HighJump'')\\
+Combine this with weapons and armor that increase agility, and the strength will be...
+Example: ''@BodySlam'' + ''@SuckBlood''\\
+SuckBlood will be so strong that their HP will be in a pinch.
