You will eventually earn this during normal play, but you can also get it almost instantly: start the game with one of the characters, start over with one of the other two, then start over with the last.

All characters deal roughly the same base damage, the difference between them is the strength of their magic and the speed and effectiveness of their attacks. | All characters deal roughly the same base damage, the difference between them is the strength of their magic and the speed and effectiveness of their attacks. | ||

{{sidebar|width=200px|title=Wasted Magic Pots|contents=Extra magic pots in the same level do '''not''' increase damage! This means that Tyris Flare's level 3 magic costs two pots more than Ax Battler's despite dealing the same amount of damage; her magic only becomes more powerful than other characters' magic at higher levels.<ref name="ls">Health/damage values discovered by [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=563326&topic=31774940 lserh].</ref>}} | |||
Tyris Flare has the most powerful magic but the shortest reach with her weapon. Her dash attack is a flying kick that has very high priority, and her special attack is a spinning attack that hits enemies directly behind her. Her dashing attack is her most reliable attack. | Tyris Flare has the most powerful magic but the shortest reach with her weapon.

Ax Battler is a balanced character; both his attack and magic are average, making him a solid character choice for new players. His dashing attack is a shoulder barge that has low priority, and his special attack is a spinning attack that hits enemies directly behind him. In the Genesis port, his weapon reach is superior compared to Tyris, so he is more efficient when attacking enemies with his combo, jumping attack, and special attack. | Ax Battler is a balanced character; both his attack and magic are average, making him a solid character choice for new players.

Gilius Thunderhead sacrifices magic strength for combat prowess. He is the strongest fighter, and the favoured character of many experienced players. His dash attack is a headbutt, which is fairly decent. His special attack is a backwards rolling stab attack that hits enemies far behind him; he is largely invulnerable when rolling. | Gilius Thunderhead sacrifices magic strength for combat prowess.

His special attack is a backwards rolling stab attack that hits enemies far behind him; he is largely invulnerable when rolling. Gilius deals '''double''' damage against other characters when playing [[../The Duel/]] in two-player mode. Gilius is considered by many to be the most powerful character due to his excellent weapon reach and his powerful special attack. | ||
