Helpful Tips for Survival!

Greetings Captains,

Are you having fun playing MISTOVER?

Maybe you've already picked up a few tricks and are getting used to the game. But for those of you that are still struggling, we've prepared these helpful tips!

Battles and Growing Your Corps Crew

Sometimes it's impossible to avoid battle while exploring the dungeons, even when you really need to. Making smart decisions at the right time will help you in tough situations like these.

Take advantage of your Leader's Expedition Skill: Change your Corps Crew Leader to use different skills that get you out of harm's way, like Shadow Blade's "Hide" and the Witch's "Time Stop." (Remember that your Fullness has to be at a certain level to use an Expedition Skill.)
If you can't avoid fighting, always engage first: When monsters run into you and initiate a battle, they get the upper hand. They may be able to attack first, or will break your formation, causing characters to randomly move before the battle begins. Pay close attention to monster movement and pace, using "Wait" if you need to. Try your best to bump into them first!
Do you always MISS? Then it's time to level up!: Your character may be too weak. You can strengthen them by not only leveling them up, but by improving their skills at the Training Camp and equipping them with better grade or Fused equipment. (For reference, each charater has basic stats that mean the following)
: Attack power as a range (minimum to maximum).
: Block power as a percentage of how much damage is reflected.
: Health or HP.
: MP (or SP/YP).
HIT: Determines accuracy when attacking a target.
CRI: Determines the ability to deal with fatal blows to a target.
EVD: Determines the ability to evade an enemy attack.
GRD: Determines the ability to block an enemy attack and take less damage.
SPD: Determines the order of characters each Turn
Revive your dying members during Limbo: When the HP of a Corps Crew member reaches 0 during battle, they will enter Limbo, a state between life and death. Heal as soon as possible, and use SOS to give your turn to another character at random. Your teammates can turn the tides of the battle if they use the right skills!

Doomsday Clock

Are you running out of time before the Doomsday Clock strikes midnight, marking the end of the world? With thorough preparation and successful expeditions, you can turn back time.

Explore every nook and cranny of the dungeons: Opening Treasure Chests is important, but so is searching Debris, activating unlit Light Flowers, and defeating monsters. Successfully interacting with as much as possible in the dungeons may make the hands of the Doomsday Clock move backward. If you want to perform well, don't forget to find hiding monsters and chase after the ones that avoid you!
Prepare enough Food, Seed, and other consumable items to last longer during expeditions: But be careful not to bring too much, either. Any unused items that you leave the dungeon will be contaminated by the Mist. These "polluted" items may cause negative side effects.
The Doomsday Clock is affected by difficulty level: If you are playing on Easy, the Doomsday Clock will move more slowly than if you are playing on Normal or Hard mode.
