Use different attacks depending on the situation.

There are three types of attack methods: gun attacks that hit enemies at long range, melee attacks that knock away enemies, and skill attacks using Personas. Try to use different methods to damage foes depending on the situation.

Knock an enemy down  and activate “1 MORE.”

If you successfully knock down an enemy, 1 MORE will be activated which allows you to take another turn or action. Keep in mind, though, that enemies in the game can use “Cover” which can be disabled by attacking them using character skills and melee attacks.

Remove Guard Status & Give Bad Status with Skills

When you attack with skills, you can remove the enemy’s guard status and you can also give different bad statuses depending on your attribute. Make good use of your skills to gain an advantage by giving bad status or removing enemy’s guard to connect your attack to 1 MORE.

Controlled Characters can be Changed Any Time

Before taking action, you can freely switch between the three members in your party. Each character has different strengths, such as movement distance and shooting performance, so switch your character depending on the battle situation.

Aim for great damage by knocking down enemies from high ground and using “Follow-Up Attacks”

There are height differences in the field and those who are in higher ground will have an advantage in the battle. If the enemy has the higher ground, you can knock the enemy down with a melee attack and if there are other allies in the area where the enemy fall, you can deal even more damage with a “Follow-Up” attack and after that 1MORE will be activated too, so try to aim for this if possible.
