Tips and Tricks

• Do not escape from any battle. You need the experience points.
• Get all treasure chests. You need every item.
• Buy the best weapons, armors and accessories which you can get.
• Buy healing and buff items to be prepared for difficult battles.
• Learn Delta Shield for Aika as fast as possible and use it wisely.
• Learn Lunar Blessing for Fina as fast as possible and use it for tough fights.
• Learn Sacrulen for Fina as fast as possible or, at the latest when you obtain the Delphinus.
• Some enemies are immune against physical attacks. Use magic with Aika and Fina instead.
• Learn Pirates' Wrath for Vyse not later than before the fight against Dralkor Tank as well as Dralkor Lacus.
• Learn Justice Shield for Enrique as fast as possible or, at the latest when you arrive Yafutoma. Use it wisely to protect your party.
• Learn Lunar Light for Fina not later than before the fight against Tortigar.
• Destroy Obispo, Roc, Alania and Giant Looper as fast as possible to get rare items.
• Recruit every crew member as fast as possible - especially Ryu-kan and Ilchymis.
• Once you've recruited Ilchymis, buy Paranta Seeds for Vyse to increase his Power.
• You need Enrique and his Justice Shield in every non-story line wanted battle as well as against Piastol and Ramirez. Normally, you can't win the fights with Drachma or Gilder.
