Battles use a turn-based grid viewed from an angled overhead perspective. Players move allies across terrain, attack enemies, cast spells, use items, and exploit elemental or positional advantages before the opposing side acts.

The campaign is divided into story chapters and combat missions. Between battles, the party can shop, equip weapons and armor, speak with allies, and manage optional relationship events. Characters gain experience and become stronger through new equipment, abilities, and spell access.

Use terrain and turn order carefully rather than moving every character as far as possible. Protect fragile magic users, focus attacks to defeat enemies one at a time, and keep healing items available for unexpected critical hits.

Check equipment and skills between missions. Training weaker characters helps maintain a balanced party, while relationship events and optional conversations can provide additional story context and improve party management.
