Heroes of Mana/Controls

Moving Units

 * First, let's learn how to move units.
 * Use the stylus to touch the unit you want to move. The unit will flash as a target cursor appears.
 * Next, touch where you want the unit to go, and the units will start moving towards its destination.
 * If you select an enemy or a resource as the target, the unit will take the appropriate action when it reaches its destination.
 * Touch the Cancel icon ("C") too to deselect the units while it continues its actions.

Field of Vision

 * At the start of a mission, you will see no other units besides your ally units.
 * As ally units cover more ground, your field of vision on the battlefield expands.
 * When enemy units and resources enter an ally unit's field of vision, they are shown on-screen.
 * Once a section of a battlefield is covered, you will always be able to see units and resources in that area.
 * On the 2D map, the area surrounding ally units is dark. As you cover more ground, the map becomes brighter.
 * If a spotted enemy happens to enter an area of the map you have not covered, the enemy will vanish from your map.

Resources

 * You will need Gaia's stone to build base, and Treant's berries to summon units.
 * Gaias and Treants can provide only a limited amount of resources. Both will eventually deplete after continuous extraction.

Face Icons

 * The face icons at the bottom of the screen show the status of all ally units.
 * The expression and color of the icon change as the unit loses HP.
 * Depleted HP can be restored through magic or the healing house.
 * You can select a unit by touching its corresponding face icon.
 * When a unit dies and fades away from the field, its face icon also disappears.
 * Press the X Button to switch to icons that display unit types.
 * Touch a unit type icon to command all units of that type.

Finding Units Quickly

 * Touch the swap icon on the upper right of the screen to swap the upper and lower screens.
 * Touch the 2D map to display that section of the battlefield in the upper screen.
 * You can also touch a unit icon on the 2D map to select the corresponding unit.

Battle Flow

 * You can summon up to 25 units, including leader units.
 * As the game progresses, you will be able to summon stronger units.
 * These stronger units will cost more resources to summon.

Sway Gauge

 * The gauge under the 2D map indicates which side holds sway in the battle.

Hidden Items

 * Items may be hidden at certain locations on the battlefield.
 * When a unit passes over one of these locations, you will be alerted by a chime, and a "!" displayed over the unit's face icon, indicating you have obtained an item.
 * You can check the items you have obtained on the Results screen after the battle.
 * Items are often hidden near Gaia and Treant. Be sure to thoroughly explore the battlefield to find these items!
