01 / THE GUIDE
Active Turn‑Based Combat
Combat follows a turn‑based structure where each party member, including recruited pets, takes an action against monsters or bosses. Victories contribute to party level‑ups as you battle monsters and bosses.
The game links combat advancement to more than 30 comic‑book collectibles; each comic book offers a unique minigame whose completion grants a specific skill and a stat boost that can be applied in later battles.
- Track which comic‑book skill you receive after each minigame to see how it aligns with your current party composition.
- Compare damage or defense numbers before and after applying a new stat boost to gauge its effect.

Pet Companions
Players can recruit adorable pet companions throughout the adventure; each pet provides a specialized skill set that can be used against enemies and bosses. Pets become part of the active party alongside the hero.
Pet skills are integrated into the turn‑based system, allowing players to customize their build by selecting companions whose abilities complement the hero’s actions and the skills gained from comic books.
- Read each pet’s description before adding it to your party to understand its unique contribution.
- Test a pet’s skill in a low‑risk encounter to observe its practical impact.
