Go off to fight in battles and command your allies.
The performance of your allies, each with different abilities, all depends on you.
Turn-based battles take place on battle maps overlaid with a grid.
When it's your turn, you select the moves that your allies will make. Once you're done, it's the enemy's turn.
It's important to consider the different strengths and weaknesses of each class. As an example, flying units easily fall to bows.
Even very powerful characters can be at a disadvantage in a bad matchup, so be sure to plan ahead.
When a unit equips an Emblem Ring, that unit can sync with the Emblem residing within it and fight together with them on the battlefield.
While synced, the unit can use sync skills unique to each Emblem.
When a unit and an Emblem "engage," they temporarily fuse together.
While engaged, you'll be able to use special weapons and skills as well as devastating techniques known as engage attacks.
The Engage status only lasts for three turns, so keep an eye on the situation and use each one wisely.
As you win battles, bonds between units and the Emblems are formed.
These bonds inspire them to ever greater feats on the battlefield and even bolster the allies' abilities.
Increasing support points to a certain level by fighting side by side, healing each other and training together at your base will allow you to view special dialogs known as support conversations, which raise the support level even further.
Increase bond EXP by fighting alongside Emblems and training with them at your base.
When allies with a high support level are fighting side by side, they will gain a temporary support bonus that enhances their ability.
The higher the support level between allies, the higher the support bonus will be,
so be sure to actively strengthen those bonds to gain every advantage in battle.
Increasing a bond level with an Emblem not only allows you to acquire new skills (sync skills),
but it also boosts the abilities of the ally wearing that Emblem's ring. Allies only benefit from these bonuses while they have the ring equipped.
*Unequipping a ring will not cause your bond level to reset.
