Idola Battle Flow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Idola's Battle System is a turn based affair. You must first select the commands for each character and press the [Battle Start] button in the lower right hand corner. Each character will attack the enemy, aiming for the ones in which they have an elemental advantage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next to each character's name is their elemental icon. This will rise each time a character performs an action or defeats an enemy. As the elemental values rises, more actions will unlock. For example, Uly gains access to a skill called \"Rising Vigor\" which increases [Attack Power] by 10%. Stella gains a skill called Twinkle Blaster that allows her to attack twice if her water elemental value is 5 or more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once a character's element reaches a certain value, a new special move will unlock known as the [Elemental Blast]. The player can choose to activate this move by tapping the character's elemental icon, which now has transformed into an ornate crest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An action-packed cutscene will commence once a character activates their Elemental Blast. For example, with [Mark Star Riser], Uly rushes through the field, performing a series of slashes at the enemy. In addition, [Mark Star Riser] also has an effect that increases damage towards Idolas by 50%. Activating an Elemental Blast consumes a certain amount of an element's value, so please keep that in mind for any strategies you wish to plan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Phantasy Star Saga battle system allows you to switch between two parties. One is comprised of characters who follow the rule of [Law], while the other is composed of characters who follow [Chaos]. During battle, you can switch to the other party by activating the special move [Reverse Rush].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once [Reverse Rush] is activated, characters from the initial party will jump out the scene to make way for the alternate party. During this transition, the alternate party will make a grand entrance with an all-out attack!<\/p>\n

Aries Knights Formation<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Aries Knights are formed with members of [Law] and [Chaos], however, Uly, the main character, is neither of the two and is actually [Neutral]. The previous head of the Aries Knights is Anna Marie, Stella's mother. Uly is the captain of the Aries Knights' Commando unit with Rosalind leading the [Law] faction, and Jasper leading the [Chaos] faction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fate Divergence<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As a character reaches the max bond level, a new option will be enabled for them. This allows the player to choose the character's fate, either following in the path of [Law] or siding with [Chaos].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Uly is a bit of an anomaly, because even if he branches towards a side, he'll still be considered neutral. Through [Divergence A], he'll wear a white dignified law style costume.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, in [Divergence B], he'll have a cool black chaos style appearance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Idola vs Idola Battle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Idola Battles run pretty much the same way as regular battles, except that each Idola consists of a main form and two body parts. For example, the Aries Idola has its main form [Aries], and the body parts [Aries Sky Horns] & [Aries Ground Horns].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each body part has access to its own list of actions based on its current elemental value. Due to this, you can select actions where the main form does a regular attack, while the other body parts could heal, buff, or deal damage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Idolas even have access to their own Elemental Blasts. For example, Aries can perform [Dimension Gate].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The enemy will drop down and expose its core after receiving a certain amount of damage. Once this happens, you can attack this weak point for massive damage until the core disappears.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
