• The damage received from enemies will vary depending on the order of a party's members.
  • 1st receives 100% damage
  • 2nd receives 85% damage
  • 3rd receives 70% damage
  • 4th receives 60% damage
• You can change the order of the party with @Front and @Rear.
• This will not affect recovery or status buffs/debuffs.
• Characters that can no longer fight will be ignored.

• You can raise your player's tension with the @Tension command.
• By raising the tension, the effects of attacks, recovery, items, etc. will be multiplied.
  • Tension 1 time (5%): 1.75 times the effect
  • Tension 2 times (20%): 3 times the effect
  • Tension 3 times (50%): 5 times the effect (hi-tension)
  • Tension 4 times (100%): 8 times the effect (super hi-tension*)
• *You need to be level 25 or higher to reach super hi-tension. The higher the level, the easier it is to obtain it. If you are level 70 or higher, you are guaranteed to reach it.

• Your tension will return to its original state (0%) as soon as you perform an action such as attack or magic.
• However, actions that do not affect the tension multiplication effect, such as defending and recovering from status effects, will leave your tension intact.

• Items such as MedicinalHerb and MagicWater
• Damage dealt
• Recovery amount
• Status buffs/debuffs

*In the case of skills that inflict damage and lower defenses, such as HelmSplitter, only the damage will be multiplied. *In the case of multi-ally/multi-enemy skills, only the first player/monster will received the tension multiplied effect. The rest will receive the usual non-tension amount.

• Items such as ProtectionStone and MagicMirror
• Temporary statuses such as defense or cover
• Status buffs/debuffs
• InstantDeath skills

• You can reset an opponent's tension by inflicting status ailments such as MotionSeal or Sleep
• *On the battle screen, the tension message will no longer be displayed when a status ailment is inflicted, but the tension will still increase.

• This is your normal single-opponent attack.
• You can specify a target using >xxx. If you do not specify a target or you mistakenly target an ally, a random enemy will be targetted instead.
• The damage dealt is determined by your attack power (including your weapon's strength) and the opponent's defense power (including their armor strength).
• The greater your agility is to your opponent's, the more likely it is that your attack will be a critical hit.
• The lower your accuracy, or the greater your opponent's agility to your's, the more likely it is that your attack will be dodged.

• Gives you the temporary status “Resist”. For more information on temporary statuses, see the page on statuses.

• Stand at the front of the party.
• Those who are confident in their HP and defense should go as far to the front as possible.

• Stand at the back of the party.
• Those who are not confident in their HP and defense should go as far to the back as possible.

• Let's you escape from a battle, as long as you are able to move.
• There's no risk or penalty for running away.

• This will activate the item's effects.
• You can apply it to a specific target using >xxx. If a target is not specified, it will be used on yourself.
• To see which items can be used in battle, see the items page.

• Move to the next floor of the stage.
• The player who uses @Proceed will be unable to act right away when the next battle begins.
• In the small-fry battles before a boss, it's best to avoid being the one to use @Proceed as much as possible, especially for players that can perform multi-enemy attacks.
• Beginners and players with low attack power should take the initiative in proceeding to help make battles go more smoothly.
