Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl/Battles

As you explore the labyrinth, you will randomly encounter battles. Battles are turn based and each turn corresponds to one step on the map. At the start of battle, there is a chance where your party either gains a preemptive strike (one free attack turn) or is blindsided (monsters get one free attack turn). Both your party and the monsters are arranged in a front line and back line. When a front line is eliminated, the back line automatically moves to the front.

At the start of each turn you can pick from the following actions.
 * Attack
 * Skills
 * Defend
 * Items
 * Switch
 * Boost
 * Escape

To be effective in battle, you will need to exploit monsters' weaknesses. The first time you fight a monster, you will have to guess at its weakness. If you fought the monster before, you can press to review information about the monster including its resistances and weaknesses.


 * Physical attacks
 * Cut
 * Stab
 * Bash
 * Elemental attacks
 * Fire
 * Ice
 * Volt

At the end of battle, you are rewarded experience and items. If there were any grimoire chances during battle, you may also get grimoire stones.
