Character Guide ①
Scarlet (Cavalry)
< Key Skills & Strategy Tips >
A top-tier cavalry attacker with high mobility and attack power. She can use AoE skills at low MP cost.
Use her aggressively as a primary damage dealer.
Bright Battlefield Bloom (Passive)
Makes enemies more likely to target her. If her defense is raised, she can double as a tank. Be careful: if Scarlet is defeated, it’s game over.
Crimson Wave (Active)
AoE attack. Low MP cost, so spam it often to pressure the enemy.
Crimson Banner (Passive)
Unlocks at Lv. 20. Absorbs a portion of damage dealt as HP. Pair with Crimson Wave or ATK buffs from allies to maximize healing. Note: This does not activate while transformed with Scarlet of the People.
Scarlet of the People (EX)
Transforms Scarlet and boosts her stats. Each defeated (executed) enemy general increases the potency of her healing and buffs.
Lily (Gunner)
< Key Skills & Strategy Tips >
While her attack is low, she shines in support and disruption.
Essential for capturing enemy generals, she’ll remain useful throughout the game.
Scrupulous Prep (Passive)
On Turn 1, reduces enemy mobility—great for landing the first strike. Since HP affects damage output, striking first can make a big difference.
Famous Streamer (Passive)
Unlocks at Lv. 20. Increases Lily’s ATK when starting a battle at a broadcasting base. Even if not capturing, the streaming ship can be used as a buff hub.
Opening Call (Active)
Buffs a targeted ally’s DEF and restores some MP.
Excellent for shielding high-threat allies like Scarlet, or even Lily herself.
On the Stage (EX)
Chance to stun enemies hit. Great for capturing, but also useful in general. Stun chance increases with follower count, making this a powerful late-game asset.
Uisce (Soldier)

A high-crit soldier unit with a deadly EX skill for single-target burst damage.
Updated Observations (Active)
ATK buff usable early on.
Can be stacked, so use it against high-HP enemies.

Guerrilla Warfare (Passive)
On Turn 3, boosts crit damage for all soldier and artillery allies.
Once unlocked, build squads with matching unit types to benefit fully.
Fox Hunting (EX)
Deals 1.8x damage plus a fixed 200 damage.
Ideal for bosses, bypasses enemy DEF to ensure solid output.
Nicol (Soldier)

A fast-paced soldier attacker with low-MP-cost skills built for rapid deployment.
Shrapnel (Active)
Costs only 1 MP, deals damage and lowers enemy ATK.
Versatile and safe to use in any situation.
Delayed Fuse (Passive)
Unlocks at Lv. 20.
On Turn 3, auto-launches an extra attack on all enemies.
Good for finishing off weakened foes and synergizes well with Geena’s Prime Position.
Skilled Security (Passive)
Unlocks at Lv. 10.
Adds +1 ★ per turn at bases Nicol is stationed at (i.e., 2★ per turn).
Use him to stall enemy captures by reinforcing key bases.
Flechette (EX)
2 MP attack that also raises Nicol’s ATK.
Use it back-to-back or in combination with buffs for maximum efficiency. Great choice for the low-MP early turns.

Station her at critical bases to halt enemy advances.
Prime Position (Passive)
On Turn 3, greatly boosts all allies’ ATK.
A highly flexible buff.
Great for a comeback or finishing a capture.

Damages all enemies and greatly lowers their ATK for the next turn.
Since Geena is slow, use ally mobility buffs to help her keep up and suppress enemy DPS.

Tyler (Cavalry)
< Key Skills & Strategy Tips >
A cavalry unit with strong support capabilities, offering both healing and enemy debuffs.
Spread Wing Charge (Active)
Attacks a single enemy and greatly reduces their mobility.
Since acting first is key since HP directly influences damage, use this skill to seize the advantage early.
The Dragon’s Companion (Passive)
Increases the healing (supply) rate at the base Tyler occupies.
Use this to maintain your frontlines when you need to recover and regroup.
Warhorse Whisperer (Passive)
Boosts the defense of all allied cavalry units in combat.
Pair Tyler with cavalry like Ciaran or Scarlet to form a powerful cavalry team.
A Banner Rescue (EX)

making her a strong pick against powerful foes.Onesie Shield (Passive)
Reduces the first damage received in battle.
Combined with other damage-reduction skills, this boosts her survivability and utility.
Guide to Cute (EX)
Deals damage and reduces the enemy’s attack power by 80%.
The target is random, so it’s best to reduce the number of enemy units first. Use streaming support to control enemies, or clear guards before boss fights. Pairing with a mobility-boosting ally enhances synergy even further.
