Uh… let’s see… I got the archer out of the prison, bought a shield for the first character. I had the ability that activates shadow form on the first turn (so I could use the group heal) and the defense increase while shadowed.
The archer mostly did Leg binding, as I couldn’t tell how long a bind lasted, nor which attacks used leg power (I simply assumed that [legs] = [pirouette] were a thing only after reading the archer’s attack text and feeling suspicious)
The turns were healing with occasional attacks (any time other than the first few turns if I didn’t heal every other turn I’d be dead, so spamming heals was the only option), with a few rounds dedicated to defending (what was the 8 for? HP? MP?).
–Most rounds I was left guessing at the MP left, because the interface covers it when selecting and can only be seen before opening the menu.
I don’t know if there was a mana regen system or not, but I did survive more turns than I thought I’d be able to heal through. Got the boss to 25% before getting a crit on the lead character and being left with the archer and no way to recover.
It’s not the most detailed account, but it’s generally what I remember… so there most likely may be flaws in the retelling.
