■ Destiny Code Card Battle Tips

(1) Basic Rules

Battles are fought using cards — each card represents an Art.
The party requires Actions to use Arts each turn! (5 Actions are given per turn)
Characters need AP points to use Arts.
(All characters recover 1 AP at the start of each turn!)
Make the most of your actions and AP each turn to defeat the enemy!

(2) Aim for Breakdowns!

The fastest way to defeat enemies is by inflicting Breakdown!
Reduce their Break Count to trigger Breakdown, stopping them from acting and increasing the damage they take.
If you inflict Breakdown on all enemies, your damage will skyrocket!

(3) How to inflict Breakdown?

Use Strike Arts (Red attack cards) to execute Art Impacts and deal Break damage! (Land your attack in the red zone to trigger an Art Impact!)
Each time you trigger an Art Impact, the enemy's Break Count decreases. When their Break Count reaches 0, they will enter Breakdown.
That's when you go for the kill!

(4) Let's get Superior Arts in the Chain!

The higher your Art's Chain Rate (%) is, the greater your chance to trigger a Chain and obtain a Superior Art!
Superior Arts consume more AP, but they're also more powerful! Manage your AP wisely and try them out!

(5) Protect your allies with AC (Armor Class)!

AC (Armor Class) plays a crucial role in reducing damage from enemy attacks!
The more AP you have at the start of your turn, the more AC you'll recover.
Some Support Arts (blue auxiliary cards) can also boost your team's AC. Keep this in mind and stay ready for enemy attacks!

(6) Spirit Arts can be a trump card!

When selecting an Art, you can access character-specific Spirit Arts by choosing the yellow (X) Spirit Card!
Spirit Arts can only be used once per battle, but they're powerful enough to turn the tide!
Use them when the time is right!

(7) Adapt your tactics to the battlefield!

You can choose to break all enemies, focus on a single target, boost your team's AC to withstand attacks, and more! There is no one-size-fits-all strategy!
Flexibility and resourcefulness are the keys to victory!
