Battle System
Combat alternates between real‑time Field Battles and strategic turn‑based Command Battles. Field Battles emphasize action, while Command Battles let players plan attacks with precision. This dual system expands tactical options beyond the previous Trails through Daybreak mechanics.
Both modes share a shared pool of abilities, allowing seamless transition between fast‑paced and methodical combat styles, giving players unprecedented flexibility in engagements.
- Switch between modes to exploit enemy weaknesses.
- Use Command Battles to set up combos for Field Battles.

Shard Commands
Each character and holo core possesses unique Shard Commands, granting powerful effects during combat. These commands can be activated to boost attacks, provide defensive benefits, or manipulate the battlefield. Mastering each character’s Shard set is key to maximizing damage.
Shard Commands work alongside S‑Boosts and Awakening, creating layered strategies that can turn the tide of battle when timed correctly.
- Experiment with each character’s Shard Commands to discover synergies.
- Combine Shard Commands with S‑Boosts for amplified effects.

Field Battle Features
During Field Battles, Van can transform into the Grendel, granting temporary power spikes through Awakening. The Z.O.C. ability slows enemy speed, allowing multiple rapid attacks and boosting stun damage. S‑Boosts provide a range of benefits, enhancing party performance.
These tools let players adapt on the fly, delivering both offensive bursts and defensive stability within the real‑time combat flow.
- Activate Z.O.C. before high‑defense enemies to increase stun chances.
- Use Van’s Grendel form when facing large groups for maximum impact.

Grim Garten Dungeon
Grim Garten is a dungeon where players can assemble a custom party from allies gathered across Calvard and beyond. The goal is to thwart Ouroboros’ machinations, offering a focused challenge separate from the main story.
Party composition and the use of Shard Commands, S‑Boosts, and Z.O.C. are crucial for navigating the dungeon’s obstacles and enemies efficiently.
- Balance your party with characters that complement each other's Shard Commands.
- Utilize Z.O.C. to control enemy pacing in tight corridors.
