Character creation[]
To create a character, you must first contact the host so that he knows you are joining, and then create a new page on this wiki with your character's name as a title. Use this as an example. I advise that you copy the source of the page, clear the info sections and then fill in with your own details. You can tell as much as you want of your character, but there is a minimum of 2 paragraphs and the stat sheet.
Lvl: ( Exp) Str: End: Skl: Spd: Lck: Mag: Int: Gold: Misc: Armor: Items (0/5): -- Skills ( / ): -- Supports: --
Unless agreed otherwise, new characters start at level 1 and initially have 600 gold to buy their starting equipment with. You can buy anything that is listed in the Items section, and you can get any skills that are in the Skills section.
Primary Stats[]
The bread and butter of a unit's level of competence. These are the bonuses to secondary stats each one of the primary stats grant per each point invested in them.
- Str: +1 Weight Carried, +3% weapon damage bonus
- End: +2 HP, +1% weapon damage resistance
- Skl: +2 Atk, +1 MagAtk, +1 Crt
- Spd: +2 Def, +1 MagDef, +1 AS
- Lck: +1 Atk, Def, MagAtk, MagDef, Eva
- Mag: +1 MagAtk, +1 MagDef, +2% magic damage bonus, +2% magic damage resistance
- Int: +1 Skill Point, +1% Exp gain
A level 1 character begins with 70 points to invest in these stats. This means an average of 10 per stat. There is a limit of 20 per stat for level 1 characters. For each level a character gains, he or she receives 3 points more which can be invested as desired. For human characters, the cap is 50 for each stat.
Note that Int does not necessarily imply just academic intelligence here; it's more a general measure of knowledge and experience.
Secondary Stats[]
- Weight Carried: How much weight can be carried before penalties occur.
- Dmg: Damage. How much damage a single attack does.
- Hits: Number of attacks the unit gets in a duel.
- AS: Attack speed. When higher than your enemy's, you hit first.
- Atk: Attack rating. The higher it is, the more often you hit the enemy.
- Def: Defense rating. The higher it is, the more often you dodge attacks.
- MA and MD: Same as Atk and Def, but for magic.
- Crt: Critical hit rating. The higher it is, the more often you score critical hits.
- Eva: Evasion rating. The higher it is, the less often you succumb to critical hits.

Supports and Affinities[]
Each character can have up to five levels of support, with up to 3 with one character. The support levels go from C, to B, to A. A character receives bonuses from the support relationship when a supported character is within three tiles. The quality of the bonuses depends on the affinities of both characters. Each character can have one affinity.
Affinities[]
- Thunder: +2% weapon damage bonus
- Earth: +2% weapon damage resistance
- Aether: +2% magic damage bonus
- Chaos: +2% magic damage resistance
- Fire: +2 Atk, +2 MA
- Water: +2 Def, +2 MD
- Leaf: +2 Atk, +2 Def
- Mind: +2 MA, +2 MD
- Wind: +1 AS
- Ice: +1 Crt, +1 Eva
- Dark: +2 Crt
- Light: +2 Eva
The bonus is the sum of both character's affinity bonuses.
Reserves[]
Each turn, the players have a chance of calling in reserves in case they need backup. Both undeployed characters and generic units can be called in. The limit of how many can be called depends on the chapter, as does their point of arrival. They typically will arrive the next turn, but this may also change depending on the chapter.
Fatigue and Resting[]
Units can exhaust their energy by running around and fighting. Each time you move within the light blue area or fight, you lose 2 HP.
If you don't move during your turn, you will recover 4 HP.
Formulae[]
Damage[]
Physical: Dmg = weapon Dmg * (100 + Str * 3 - enemy End) / 100 * 2 if critical - enemy AC
Magic: Dmg = spell Dmg * (100 + Mag * 2 - enemy Mag * 2) / 100 * 2 if critical - enemy AC
Note: Armor piercing weapons decrease enemy AC.
AS[]
AS = Spd + weapon AS + armor AS + misc. item AS - 1 x excessive Wt carried
Accuracy[]

If (magic) Acc = MA - Enemy MD + special modifiers
