===Critical hits=== | |||
Whenever you fight, you swing your weapon to strike the enemy. Occasionally, your strike is so successful at hitting the enemy's weak point that you do tremendous damage. Though it can not be counted upon, it can substantially shorten the length of a battle. An item is rumored to increase the likelihood of this beneficial luck. | |||
===When to run=== | |||
Just because you request to run away from a monster does not mean you will always get the opportunity to do so. Monsters that are stronger than you are usually quicker than you as well, and can cut off your route to escape. Don't wait until only one more strike can finish you off to run. Be prepared to take off sooner in case you can't get away the first time. | |||
