What I Wish I Would Have Known Starting Off

I've been playing the Android version for a long time and I couldn't get my first party to get very far. It was highly frustrating and I couldn't figure out why this small community were going ga-ga over it. What I figured out I missed a lot of things... and once I got those in my head things got easier on my next party.

Avoid Using Heal to Raise the Dead
For a long time, the only way I found to raise my dead characters was to try to Heal them over and over until they came back (and then keep healing them). But they lose stats and experience when you do that. Ugh-oh. The healer in the cave will raise them back, no problem.

Entering a new place will save your game
I didn't realize this until later on but you save more often than you know. Maybe you don't want leave your party in this state... well you better load from the latest now

Practice The Abilities
I tended not to use my Melee Characters' Abilities much, but when I needed to in a large, tough battle, they failed me. Just like D&D (or, you know... life) you have to use them to make them better. Start using them on easier battles just to get them leveled up.

The Birth Feats!
These are a big deal. You will notice more when you make your second party. When you make a new party keep the Birth Feats page open.
