Party & combat

Four-person parties, turn-based battles, stamina and mana.

You control a party of four. Combat is turn-based, and the official description emphasizes party synergy, positioning, stamina and mana. There is not enough verified launch data here to recommend an optimal class build or a damage rotation.

What to consider when choosing a party

The developer describes adventurers with different abilities and spells, equipment with gameplay-changing properties, and combinations that can offset weaknesses. Those are useful reasons to read your available abilities rather than choose solely by appearance.

A practical approach is to compare what each adventurer can do, where abilities overlap and which limitations another member might cover. This is planning advice; it is not a verified class tier list.

Read the battle, then spend your resources

Officially described featureWhat to pay attention to
Turn-based combatYou can consider your next action rather than react under a timer.
Stamina and manaCheck the resource cost shown for the ability you are considering.
Control of spaceConsider where the encounter takes place; the store highlights this without documenting a universal formation.
Equipment and synergyRead the properties on the actual item or ability. No numeric build breakpoints are established here.

Why there is no “best build” table here

The available official sources do not establish complete class statistics, resistance formulas, bleed stacking, enemy health values or exact equipment drops. A confident-looking ranking without those inputs would be guesswork.

For a specific fight, record your party, abilities, equipment and the enemy involved before comparing advice. For reproducible bugs, include the version shown by your installed game and contact the developer through its support page.
