By reading the book, the “Third Eye” will be unlocked for Batting Cage. Using the “Third Eye” while playing the mini-game will slow the time, allowing you to easily hit the ball when performing a swing.

    Raging Wristband gives Rage Atk Up
    Grand Slam Charm gives Apt Pupil.
    Only got the 5 hit for intermediate and was a Harder Core S drink which raises defense 3 turns

  2. Yo, if you ended up here thinking that there would be some info about all the new Royal courses, that’s sadly not a thing.

    I will say that on the latest Fader Course you option “Sturdy Suspenders” for the Home Run reward. It gives you the passive ability Unshaken Will which rage/fear/despair on whomever you equip it on.
