Experience Points[edit]

Characters gain levels by means of experience points. Experience points are awarded to each participant after Battles. The amount of experience points awarded to you and your allies add up depending on the number of enemies fought and their strength. Remember, should one or everyone in your group run out of HP, they will not be awarded experience points after the battle.

Once a certain milestone of experience points is reached, you and your allies' levels may increase. The more battles won, the stronger you become!
