13 Support & Pairing Up

Allied units can co-operate in battle
when they are adjacent or on the

same square.

Building Relationships

Co-operating in battle helps
build relationships between units.
Once units start to get along,

they can have support
conversations (p. 7), which
increase their support level and
boost the effect of co-op
attacks.

♦ Some units simply don't get

along and their support level

won't increase.

♦ The highest support level is

"S". A unit can be at "S"

support level with only one

unit of the opposite sex.

Support Unit

When a unit engages the
enemy while an allied unit
is on an adjacent square,

the following may happen:

Dual Support

Your unit's Hit

Rate and

Avoidance will be

temporarily
boosted. The more

the units get along, the higher the
boost.

♦ The effect on the unit's attributes

will be greatest when it is

surrounded by allies on all four
adjacent squares.

Dual Strike

There is a set chance that the
adjacent unit will launch a follow-up
attack.

♦ If there is more than one unit

standing next to the active unit,
the one with the highest support
level will join the attack.

Dual Guard

There is a set chance that the
adjacent unit will protect the active
unit from damage.

♦ If there is more than one unit

standing next to the active unit,
the one with the highest support
level will protect the active unit.

Pairing Up

When one unit moves onto

the same square as
another allied unit, they

will pair up. In addition to

the effects that occur when two
units stand next to each other, the
abilities of the main unit (the one

that was on the square before the
other joined) will be greatly
enhanced.

♦ When units pair up, only the main

unit can move, attack and defend.
When a paired-up unit is
attacked, the main unit is the
enemy's target.

Paired-Up Commands

Select SWITCH to switch the main

unit. The pair will not be able to

move in that turn after switching.

You can also trade items between

the units, or exchange the paired-up
unit with another one that is on an
adjacent square. To separate the
units, select SEPARATE and place
one of the units on an adjacent

square.

14 Unit Growth

Units become stronger as they gain

experience in battle.

Experience Points &

Levelling Up

Units are awarded
EXP (experience

points) for
participating in
combat or using

staves. Once a unit gains 100 EXP,

they will level up and get stronger.

Class Change

Units level 10 or higher can use a
Master Seal to change to a more

advanced class. In addition, units

that are level 10 or advanced
classes can use a Second Seal to
change to an entirely different class.

Using any of these Seals will reset

the unit's level to 1.

empty square or on a unit that has
