    Battles yield an average of 200+ EXP, which can increase to 1000+ with the EXP boost. The author reported gaining 1700+ EXP once.
  5. 5
    To increase the chances of Shuffle Time, end battles with an All-Out Attack.
  6. 6
    Aim for battles where all enemies are of the same type to easily trigger elemental attacks leading to an All-Out attack.
