Prologue
The Kingdom of Fantasinia is situated in the center of
the continent. Thanks to its just rule by a royal family
descended from the gods, the Kingdom had enjoyed
generations of prosperity and stability.
Under King Ordene, 31st monarch of Fantasinia, all
that changed. The land came under attack by the
Empire of Bronquia, a nation rapidly expanding its
borders through conquest. The blitzkrieg was led by the
young Emperor Gulcasa, who assumed the throne in a
bloody uprising.
Rocked by a series of fierce attacks, Fantasinia lost more
and more ground to the invasion, with its people forced
to endure a new and oppressive regime. Eventually, King
Ordene was overthrown and killed. In the tumult that
followed, a girl managed to flee Paltina, the capital of
Fantasinia, taking with her nothing but a sword.
This was the Holy Sword, the Gran Centurio, passed
from generation to generation down the royal bloodline.
The legendary blade is said to have been instrumental in
founding the Kingdom.
Her name was Yggdra Yuril Artwaltz, and with
Fantasinia’s last hope in her hands, she finally reached
the southern end of the country. Now, with a small band
of allies, the long battle to free her homeland has begun...

 Forming Unions Union Confirmation
By creating Unions, you will be able to turn battles to your advantage.
Here are some pointers to achieve this.

Selecting a Union Leader

Battle Order
The Union Leader (Ace) fights first, with the rest of the battles
proceeding according to the priorities of Formations (see p.22).
The order of units, displayed at the target confirmation screen, is
The More Allies, the Better called the “Battle Order.”
When choosing a Union Leader, the Formation should include as Prediction Marks

stats and weapon into account. The
The Fewer Enemies, the Better Prediction Marks are as follows:
When selecting a target, choose one with the fewest enemies in his
or her Union. The Union with fewer units will be at a disadvantage Superior Inferior
from fighting a series of Successive Battles. Any units who must
fight multiple times will be displayed in yellow.

Union Ace
If your Union Leader’s weapon
type matches the card’s Ace type
for that turn, he or she becomes
the Union Ace, allowing that unit to
use skills. However, enemies can
use skills under a different set of
conditions (see p.30).
The prediction is calculated based on various data, but it does not take
into account tactics, skills, and other factors.
Weapon Types and Advantages
The weapon type for each class has strengths and weaknesses
against other weapon types. The arrows show each weapon’s
superiority over another weapon.

This increases offensive strength

Skill Gauge
The Skill Gauge is shown at the
top of the screen. The gauge
is filled by fighting in Passive
mode (see p.27). Once it is full
and all other conditions are met,
you can use skills. The unit’s
Tec ★ (big star) and the card’s
Movement (the lower, the better)
determine how full the gauge is at the start of the clash. The
Skill Gauge is shared within the Union, so the amount charged
will be passed on to the next clash.
and adds elemental properties to
attacks (if possible), but the Skill
Gauge will drain.
Passive – Hold the left directional button
This decreases offensive strength,
but the Skill Gauge will fill. This
tactic will be automatically cancelled
when the Skill Gauge is filled.

Elements
When in Aggressive mode, or when the enemy
is in Rage mode (p.30), some units will have
elemental attributes added to their attacks. The
Weapon Type icon will change when performing
elemental attacks.

Examples of units and their elemental attributes

●Fencer Lightning
●Valkyrie Holy
●Undine Ice
●Necromancer Dark
●Witch Fire
●Assassin Dark
●Dragon Knight Fire

If an enemy unit has the “M Void (attribute)” ability, be careful. It can void
your elemental attacks.

26 27
 Skills
Skills are special abilities within cards which can be used while the
Head is alive. There are two types of skills, x Type and z Type,
and each is activated differently.
Z Type
Once the Skill Gauge is filled,
press the z button to activate the
skill. The skill will continue, and
the Skill Gauge will decrease as
long as you hold the button down.
When the Skill Gauge is depleted,
the skill will end.
Summon Skills
There are special rules for using summon skills: Doll Craft (Golems)
and Necro Gate (Skeletons).
Placement of Summoned Units
When Doll Craft or Necro Gate is
activated, the Golem or Skeleton
will appear in an empty square
adjacent to the opposing unit. If the
skill is used multiple times during a
Union against different enemies,
the summoned creatures will
appear by the first enemy you used
the skill against, according to the
Summoning Priority
given priority.

4 2
3

If the enemy uses a skill while a Z
Type skill is active, your skill will be
cancelled automatically. On the other
hand, if you activate a skill while the
enemy is using a Z Type skill, their
skill will end.
Barriers to Summoning
Units will not be summoned if the skill is used under the following
conditions:
● When a unit of that type is already summoned in your party.
● When there are no empty squares for it to appear on.

Type
After filling up the Skill Gauge,
the Charge Gauge will appear
beneath the Skill Gauge if the x
button is pressed. Release when
the Charge Gauge is full to
unleash the skill. If you release
the button or get hit by an enemy’s
Flash Attack (p.25) while the skill
is charging, it will be cancelled.
The Skill Gauge will empty as
soon as the skill is unleashed.

Catapults
Rage Rate
Instead of a Skill Gauge, enemy
units have a Rage Rate indicating
their aggressiveness. There are
three levels to the Rage Rate:

These can be included in a Formation or Link and will hurl stones

there are multiple catapults included in the Union, more members
will be defeated at once.

Cannons

Rage
One full bar of the gauge is filled.
Enemies are more aggressive,
and some will have elemental
attributes.

MAX
The gauge has filled twice. Enemy
strength is the same as in Rage
mode but without elemental
attributes.
Each cannon has a fixed owner and will attack a certain range
on the owner’s turn. Units attacked by cannons will lose Morale
(p.32), but cannon fire cannot cause Morale to reach zero. The
owner’s allies cannot take damage, even if they are in firing range.
A cannon’s damage and range differ depending on the situation.
Cannons cannot be fired at night.
Ankhs

About Enemy Skills

Once the Rage Rate is at MAX,
enemies can activate skills at will,
without filling a Charge Gauge.

Ankh cannons fire beams of magic which lower enemy Morale.

Unlike standard cannons, these can be fired at night.

Even stronger siege weapons will appear as the game progresses.

30 31
 Battle Results
Morale Loss
The amount of Morale lost by the
loser is determined by the victor’s
card Power, as well as the following
factors:
■Surviving Units
The more surviving members on the winning side, the greater
the Morale loss.
■ Ability Difference
The greater the gap between the ATK of the winning side and the
GEN of the losing side, the greater the Morale loss.
■ Bonuses
Various bonuses are awarded depending on specific results,
such as:
●Head-Alive: If the Head survives the clash.
●Critical Hit: If a critical attack occurred.
●Item Break: If the Item Break skill was successful.
●Item Steal: If the Steal skill was successful.
■ GEO Defense
The terrain where the losing side is standing affects its Morale
loss.
If the total detriments exceed the total positives, you will not be able to
damage the enemy’s morale.
Unit Elimination
Units with no Morale will be
eliminated from the map. When
the commander of an enemy army
is eliminated, the other units under
him or her that are still alive will
retreat.
Some units have a Protect lock and will never
reach zero Morale, no matter how many clashes
they lose. Be sure to review the victory conditions
before wasting your efforts on undefeatable units.
Upgrading Cards
You can increase a card’s Power
by winning clashes and lowering
the enemy’s Morale. The amount
it increases differs from enemy to
enemy. This can be checked on the
enemy’s Status Screen.
32
Successive Battle Penalties
If the number of units in a Union is
uneven on each side, the side with
fewer units must fight Successive
Battles (i.e. one unit will be forced
to fight multiple times). In each
consecutive clash they fight, units
will have one fewer member. Larger
units, such as Knights, will lose one
member for every two Successive
Battles, though.
Gaining Experience
When all the clashes are over, the
participating units gain experience.
Units gain experience depending
on the level of the enemies they
defeat. When the EXP Gauge is
full, the unit will gain a level. Not all
characters are able to level up, and
some may not gain experience,
depending on the situation.
Leveling Up
When a character’s experience
gauge is full, he or she will level
up. When a character gains a
level, his or her stats will increase,
and his or her Morale will recover
a little. The stats that increase will
gain small stars one by one, and
when they fill the gauge, they will
become a big star.
Zero Reset
If a character’s Morale reaches
zero, his or her experience for that
level will be reset to zero, but his or
her level will not decrease.
If the character has equipment with the “z No zero reset” effect, his or her
experience will not be reset.
REP
A character is awarded a icon for each victorious clash. However,
the number will be reset to zero if he or she loses a clash (see
p.39).

 Map Clear
When you completely finish a battlefield, the following things will
happen:
MVP
The character that dealt the most
Morale damage in the map will
be chosen as the MVP. The MVP
receives a small star in a random
stat. If you finish a map within a
certain number of turns, the MVP
will receive two small stars instead
of one.
If you take too many turns to finish a map, or if you retried it (p.35), there
will be no MVP. For maps where the victory conditions can be met without
engaging the enemy, there will be no MVP.
Spoils of War
All icons still on the map after a
battle will be automatically gathered.
Items that were taken by the enemy,
however, will not.
Obtaining Cards
If a defeated enemy possessed a
card you do not have, it will be added
to your collection. Some cards are
for use only by the enemy and
cannot be obtained, though.
Cards that you obtain are usable from the next map on, so make sure to
examine the card’s abilities before going into the next battle.

Saving the Game
After moving past the Map Clear Screen, you will be prompted to
save the game. In order to save your game data, a Memory Stick
Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ is required. Ensure the Memory
Stick Duo™ is inserted into the PSP® Memory Stick Duo™ slot. At
least 384KB of free space is required to save the game.
Saving Between Maps
You can create up to 50 saves, and
each new save requires 128KB of
memory. The system data will be
saved as well. To resume, choose
“LOAD DATA” on the Title Screen.
After saving, you may move to the
next battlefield and continue your
adventure.
If you choose to save in a slot with a saved game already present, the current
data will overwrite the previous data. Be careful when doing this.
Suspend Saves
This is a temporary save that is
created by selecting “Suspend”
from the Main Menu (see p.15).
Only one suspend save can
exist. To resume a suspend save,
choose “CONTINUE” from the Title
Screen.
Do not pull out or insert the Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO
Duo™ while saving or loading. Doing so may destroy your saved data.
