Party

Up to three characters can form a party and only one can be controlled at a time. Press Y button to switch characters. The other two characters will either be offensive or defensive. Press Minus button to toggle their behavior. The party formation can be changed by pressing Right dpad. Standby party members will still earn EXP. There are two possible effects for active party members depending on their attack type.

  • Same damage type - damage dealt increases by ×1.1
  • Different damage types - rare item drop rate increases

Status Effects

Status effects appear when their gauge is full from certain attacks. They will slowly go away after some time has elapsed or they can be treated with medicine. Some accessories resist status effects by slowing the gauge or outright nullify the effect. Paralysis and Burn can be healed quicker by constantly moving.
