The Basics tutorial

TURN
Both allies and enemies will be taking turns in the battle and AP is required for the allies to move and attack. However, a Guardian can't move and attack at the same time, in most stages. The ally's turn will end automatically when all of the AP is consumed and the enemy's turn will begin.

DIRECTION
The Guardian has one of 5 directions: Rook, Bishop, King, Knight and Queen. All directions have the same movement and attack range of 16 tiles, and even the same Guardians may have different skill effects depending on the direction.

AP (Action Point)
The amount of AP that a player can use is displayed at the bottom right had corner of the screen, just above the guardian display. Depending on the area a player is battling in, the AP will vary. In scenario, Hall of Judgement, and Mysterious Sanctuary, a player has a max of 3 AP at a time. In all content, 1 AP is required by default for a Guardian to move while 0-3 AP is required to use a skill. The AP is shared and consumed by all Guardians, so you need to use AP strategically since some Guardians may not be able to move or attack if one Guardian consumes too much AP. In addition, some guardians, like Diaz, can replenish 1 AP.

PINCER
When attacking an enemy, you can perform a pincer attack if there's a nearby ally that can attack the enemy target. This attack will scale according to the pincer attack stat of the second guardian.

RAGE MODE
The rage Mode will be activated if there's one Guardian left in the battle. When in Rage Mode, you can ignore the basic rules and use all AP yourself in 1 turn but you can only move once. If there are more than 5 turns left, the MAX no. of turns will be moved back by 5 turns. The Rage Mode won't be activated if only 1 Guardian joined the battle from the start.

SKILL EFFECT
Skill effects are divided into beneficial effect and weakening effect, and up to 12 can be applied to one target. Basically, the same effect is applied only to the last hit, but it can be overlapped if the continuous damage or recovery effect is applied.
