Tips
  • Purchasing upgrades for the Tactics Academy can be a significant gold sink, as each unlocked upgrade must be bought individually for every character.
  • You can mass-purchase unlocked upgrades for all relevant characters, but this can become very expensive.
  • Unlocking more Warrior Gauges allows you to bank multiple Warrior Specials at a time.
  • Higher-tier Building Materials and Combat Manuals are progression-gated and will not be found until you have progressed the main questline.
