Personas & Relics – The Basics
This is a very brief overview of the basic gameplay loop. I will cover the individual mechanics in greater detail later on.
Personas are the units that you deploy.
This is the only time in the world where you will ever see a full party of bots. For the most part, basically every non-female Personas are completely and utterly useless. The only reason you will ever use them is if you don’t have 4 girls yet.
The Persona level cap is the same as your Account level. Make it a point to always level up the Personas in your main party.
Relics are the items equipped to a Persona, as seen below.
By default, Personas have no elements. Relics give an element to the Personas when equipped. Relics also provide additional effects that I will cover in greater detail later on in the guide.
Fire > Wood > Ground > Water > Fire
You don’t have to memorise the elemental advantages and disadvantages as the game will straight up tell you what elements to look out for at every stage.
The icon seen here is the suggested element for the stage, which means that the enemies are mostly Wood-element.
It is also telling you to avoid having the Ground element equipped, as you will take more damage from the enemy.
Later stages will start throwing curveballs at you. Check & plan accordingly before you proceed.
