Battle and decision checkpoints
- Chapter 2: Dyan is the battle target; use the available avoidance spaces to reduce damage while keeping Theodora safe.
- Chapter 3: follow the Temple Row and Entertainment District story markers, then defeat Idi while protecting Theodora and Orchel. Orchel can Heal.
- Chapter 9: the encounter in the forbidden land centers on Digamma. Carry Antitoxins and watch which worms animate differently; attacking those can clear nearby enemies.
- Chapter 10: lending Anatolia the ship can bring her team into Theodora’s chapter-twelve battle. Finish the related chapter-eleven opportunity before that team leaves Dagsion.
Plan the last two chapters early
Chapter eleven is the point to finish the Anatolia recruitment opportunity if desired. Chapter twelve has a short Free Time window, so inspect the paralogue list before using turns elsewhere.
Between mandatory battles
Use no-turn city preparation where available, then spend turns on route-specific side tasks. The Free Time guide explains why travel and optional objectives should be scheduled around the calendar.
