As you progress deeper into the Campaign, you’ll find particularly challenging Party Encounters. Your Heroes are powerful, but sometimes they will need some extra help to fight back the dark forces that plague Eos. Items can be used during these Party Encounters to give them an extra edge, and when combined with sound strategy, you’ll be unstoppable!

ITEMS

Consumable Items can be brought with you into Party Encounters to help ensure victory! Tapping on an Item during a Party Encounter will consume it and activate its ability. Use them strategically to get the most out of them - examples of Items include Phoenix Downs that revive a defeated Hero, or Potions that Heal the most damaged Hero in your Squad.

• Only two Items can be brought with you, and they can be selected alongside your Heroes before initiating a Party Encounter.

• Only a certain number of Items can be used during a single Party Encounter. This number depends on that Item, and is indicated when selecting that Item before that Party Encounter begins.

• Some Items may have a cooldown timer before they can be used again. When an Item can’t be used, it will appear as gray during your Party Encounter - tapping on a grayed Item will offer an explanation as to why it can’t be used.

• Items are stored in the Combat tab of your Inventory, and consumed Items are only removed from your Inventory when you win a Party Encounter. Losing, Restarting, or Quitting will not remove an Item from your Inventory.

• Autoplay mode does not consume Items. You can still use Items manually while Autoplay is enabled.

• Your Party Leader and their Limit Break Skill is important. Using the right Limit Break at the right time can turn the tide of battle!
