You actually get enough medals to promote all units to Veteran status by playing the game. The issue will come with the Medals to promote to the Elite class, those you will definitely have to pick and choose very carefully.
@@justpeachee8964 I just started playing on PC/steam. I've been trying to remain as blind as possible while playing the game, I'm really pleased that the game has new game + because I've already made some choices that I definitely want to pick differently with another play thru and I thought I was just going to have to make a new save file
Correction... Lionel, Hossabara, Archibald, and Jens all join *completely unrelated* to using their service. Instead it is based on conviction: Jens joins from raising Morality, Lionel Utility, Archibald a combinatiom of Utility and Morality, and lastly Hossabara a combimation of Liberty and Utility. In fact, buying items with coin actually slowly raises liberty, so you actually cannot unlock Lionel from buying is stuff, even if you buy his entire stock.
Fyi, if you cursor over a tile with no one on it and press "y" it shows turn order by placing a yellow number on each character. It also shows turn points each unit has. It's a really useful "at a glance" way of looking at turn order and turn points
So, I found something quite interesting with the scales of conviction. Without spoiling anything; there are times when you unlock a piece of info (a third conversation choice) you would naturally think that the unlocked choice would be the correct one to prompt them to your cause, but this isn’t always so. Some of the conversations where there is an additional 3 choice split actually convince them with one of the top two choices and Not the one you unlocked. I thought this was clever and it took me a while to find the flow that worked best on different people.
Yea... this threw me and it is subtle but can be deduced (about the dialogue options). I found that some of the pre-loaded answers were more "in line" with what that character had presented themselves to be over what the unlocked options would sometimes bring up. I randomly took a chance and selected the pre-loaded once and totally convinced the character and thought "yea... that WOULD be how this works". I feel like this game is meant to be figured out to some degree, and they drop hints... its' not impossible, but they've done a good job of keeping it low-key... which I kind of enjoy.
She's S tier for sure. She also has the best jump on your team for the early game, meaning she gets around better than anyone else on maps with great height differences. She's great
This one might be minor, but I'd kinda say 'don't sleep on Jens.' My path differs from others, I'm sure, but there are a lot of stages I've played where Jens and his tools and traps have been super useful in delaying enemies, especially the match against Avlora.
The maps you have to navigate around more I can see him working well, also so far I just like to box people in with other characters so I can set up a trap, tons of fun.
Jens is so fun. Iv been equipping him with the 1st turn trinket so I can lay down a spring trap which knocks an enemy off a cliff. Also they work really well to just knock enemies back over and over again.
In an effort to avoid spoilers I just scanned this video for the 5 tips since I'm starting the game now. Happy to have these tips, I'm someone who always tries to talk to every NPC, but knowing to check the map for quickly vanishing events and that promoting characters is a very heavy decision are great tips to take into the game! Thanks!
6. Pay attention to the hints before every battle. - Items picked up during exploration (poison heal hints at a poison user) - Recommended characters (thunder users hint at stunning enemies as a strategy) - Cut scenes (could reveal if there'd be re-inforcements on the map and where they're likely to come from)
I discovered that pressing the D pad on the world map moves the cursor between available markers. If you press the D pad and the cursor doesn’t move, there are no green side story markers at that time. This saves me having to zoom out and pan across the whole map after every event.
Just beat the game with Benedict on normal, WOW!!! The story here is great, still asking myself if i made the right decisions along the way. New game plus is def going to consume another 40+ hrs of my life. This video def has great tips that are lifesavers! Good luck and follow your convictions ;)
Was finally able to start the game today and have seen several articles/videos such as this floating around already. Im glad people r helping out with stuff like this, bc it seems like theres a ton of stuff in this game and a good amount of it isnt laid out completely like other newer rpgs tend to do. I enjoy Squenix not holding my hand every step of the way, but I dont wanna miss out on the full experience
Actual useable information! One of the many reasons I love this channel. Can’t wait to dive into this one. Been playing the Mercenaries games to tide me over.
Finished the Frederica route. New game+ opens the game up enormously. Can definitely agree on all points. PS: don't forget to grind in the tavern. And use Quietus abilities. Interlude scenes can be scrolled through with the left dpad/joycon buttons. No need to look at the map
Not much information about NG+ atm so do you know how can I access the scout option (it lets you see information about your conviction) at the sundry shop? According to the tutorial it should be there but it’s not there for me.
I forget to use quietus in almost every fight. I never think to press the - button… it’s annoying that this system is so unintuitive. It’s probably the only complaint I have with the game, other than the English voices being god awful
I wish I knew I didn’t have to try focusing on specific convictions. I’ve unlocked almost no recruits because I kept thinking “oh, there must be some benefit to exclusively focusing on one.”
Great video! I learned some things myself here. I got my copy on Friday but haven't put too much time into it yet, so these tips were very helpful for me. I'm one to hoard items, unfortunately haha. Thank you for sharing! Excited to have a solid strategy for success.
Thanks for the great information David. Hopefully I’ll be starting this next month. So many good games came out recently my backlog is getting ridiculous lol
For those who don’t know, you can heal other chars by having an adjacent unit use a healing pill on them. Keep this in mind because the first healer you get is as slow as molasses
Currently playing through the demo and checked out your video when it popped onto my recommendation. Glad I did, because you were both informative and spoiler free. I appreciate it! I'm just at chapter 3 in the prologue with no clue as to which characters are good or bad etc. Hopefully, I'll get a feel for it now before purchasing the game.
Tip videos like this are always great to have! I haven't picked Triangle up yet, but it is giving me such PSone vibes that I may not be able to resist much longer xD Also, tip 5 is gonna be a hard one for me... I'm so bad about hoarding items
Wasn’t going to get this, but your review caused me to give it a chance and I love it! Thank you!!! *I also really liked how the game gives you a reason beyond exposition to seek out NPC’s and talk to them. I wish more games would do this.
I did the mock battles in the Encampment whenever a new one was available. My strategy was do them with all my lower ranked roster which would level them up for the main game real world battles. It carried me through to the end game and you only had to do each mock battle once to level up enough. Barely even a grind as the mock battles are incredibly fun and where you learn more tactics.
I've been really surprised at how few promotion items I've seen. Makes the promotion choice really tough! I've been REALLY enjoying this game, much more than I thought I would (and I thought I would enjoy it a lot!)
Thanks for the tips! I agree completely on choosing a party of 9-11 characters and focusing on them. It avoids unnecesary grinding in the tavern and keeps your money/material focused on less characters. I am having a blast with this game, currently playing on hard and while the game is indeed... hard.. haha. It never gives me the impression that its unfair or cruel to my playstyle.
Thanks for the information. As someone who knows the game has multiple endings with different party members but doesn't want to know more specifics on account of spoilers, when you say choosing your final team in your head before promoting, does that include knowing which characters will stay with you? Do most/all characters you "get" stay with you once you can promote them and such?
Thanks for this video. I was considering buying it but that whole "you have to talk to every NPC and you have to scour the worldmap constantly" thing seems like a right ballache.
Glad I watched this. I took the day off to buy this game but only played for 30 mins because I was sucked back into smt 5 lol. Hoping to get back into it soon
One thing i wished i'd known is that on the map, if you press +, you can recruit more characters. I didn't know this until chapter 8. The entire time, i been fighting with only 8-9 characters 🤣
I haven't got the game officially yet but i have downloaded the demo and will play it eventually. I heard good things about this game and these tips will help in my enjoyment.
I’m just as enthralled with this game as you. I can’t put it down. It’s actually quickly becoming my favorite Switch game to date. I was wondering if you plan on doing a tier list video for the characters, it’s always fun to hear other people’s experiences/opinions on them. Regardless, thanks for the great content, David!
I have been watching Rogersbase playthrough of the game. As good as he is doing so far it does annoy me how lil he checks the full map. 5.5 of your points I consider to be, always do those extra conversations... technically covered by talking to everybody; but I feel its worth mention specifically because it does not beat you over the head with notices about the extra conversations and you get a lot of characters that way (I assume there are other ways). Glad to hear you love the game.
Beat it over your head to use quietuses. I kept forgetting they are a thing because i have to open a separate menu to use them which kinda counterintuitive, but they are very useful. Didnt start using them till chapter 14 lol.
Just finished the Federicas path. Not sure how to feel about that ending however it's worth going that route for knowing how aelfric is really made. .absolutely wild. The final artwork was nice too but man I have to replay the game. Realistically Benedicts route sounded the most logical and sound minded. Can't wait to check it out
I made a mistake. I've been looking forward to this for a while, it's the only game I've pre-ordered in a long time (Trails of Zero later this year is next), but I needed a game to play while waiting and started up SMT5. Now I don't want to stop SMT 5 to play this yet, haha. First world problems, indeed.
Started playing yesterday and I’m glad to have these tips since there was a bit of a learning curve. I already know some useless characters I’d want to get rid of 😂
Very useful and well-timed video! Thank you. This 3D2D art style really hits me in the nostalgia bone. All the little characters are adorable. The dialog in the game is needlessly long-winded, but everything else is great so far. (I play in Japanese to practice Japanese, so it feels 1000 times more agonizing lol.)
One thing I wish I knew was spending resources on upgrading weapons. You can only get so many iron, quality, or superior. Serenoa and Roland requires a ton of Superior Iron at the end to get their ults. 10 each, plus another 10 each for a tier 3 upgrade. I ended up using all of them before I was able to get their ults and there was no way to get anymore. The Merchant only had so many. As for promoting your characters, you can eventually get enough reputation from mock battles get medals for every character to get them to tier 3. So I wouldn't worry about running out of medals.
Thanks david, you came in clutch with this one. I am a little worried I may have missed an early cutscene or two because while I did scroll the map around - I didn't go all the way to hyzante or the iron city every single time. That spice strategy is legit though, I probably wouldn't have bothered - even with all my SMT training lol
Is this game kind of open world, as in can I go back and fight old battles again to grind or explore extra secret dungeons and find hidden powerful items that aren’t in the main story quests?
I’ll keep this video in mind if I come back to TS. I’ve only successfully played one SRPG (Three Houses) so I’m not 100% sure I can handle the management required.
I'm absolute garbage at strategy games, and only recently got into them again. I used to play them a lot about 25 years ago. The first fight with TS, nearly everyone died lol
To be fair. The events are easily scrollable with the left dpad/joycon buttons. Just press left or right and you automatically scroll through all available options. The Infos for the arguments during convictions are trickier. Just talk to everyone and then talk again to everyone.
Well it has multiple endings and certain branching fights. There are also several characters locked to certain paths so you can't see everything in a single playthrough anyway. The 'best' ending requires making certain decisions.
If not underlevel, normal mode difficulty is ok, only occasionally need to use items. But golden route can be hard because need to not trigger fire trap in town in a specific chapter... Have triggered fire trap once on first try. Not yet reach that in NG+ yet.
Hey. I played the demo and really liked it. My question is , do the battles eventually become more plentiful? Or do you get the option to fight in battles that aren’t story related. I like the story but sometimes the gap between battles is a bit of slough
I noticed there are skills that can be learned after Lvl 10. If you promote the character before say learning a Lvl 13 skill say Eredors Physical Counter ability, will it lock it forever because you didn't learn it as the rank 1 job title or whatever?
I believe that the new skills from promotion only appear when you're in the connected class. I.e. you can't miss skills, if you promote later, and you're already past that level, you just get the ability. This actually isn't that relevant though, because you'll have more than enough to promote everyone to tier 2 with ease. Promoting to tier 3 is when you'll have to choose more carefully. And again, tier 3 skills only appear when in tier 3, so missing skills isn't possible
If you create a new save file after each scale of conviction, can you theoretically go back play all the various battles you missed by (by persuading your party to vote differently from your first go-around)? I’m trying to avoid having to play through the entire game numerous times to see everything
For early votes, probably. But later votes, you can only really get enough conviction to support voting 2 ways consistently. Undecided characters, while having lower requirements, do technically already lean to one end of the vote and you can fail to convince them with a bad argument or just really low conviction. But by your 2nd playthrough, this is almost certainly possible.
When is the best time to promote units? I know in Fire Emblem it is recommended to wait until they hit max level so they learn their final class skill.
I'm in chapter 7 right now, and I'm so curious about who you think is useless. The only character I've unlocked so far that I don't find very useful is Medina, but from context, I don't think that's who you are referring to
Did you finished the game, do you still have the same opinion about Medina? Medina is my favorite character in triangle strategy, due to her passive skills, especially tp physick.
Funny, every single one of those would be things i already do in a game out of instinct. Actually, It boggles my mind how someone could enjoy a game any other way, but i guess that's the beauty of life, eh? XD
Anyone know roughly how many battles are in the main story (so not including grinding, even though I'm sure I'd do that too) I can't seem to get a solid answer. I'm fine with dealing with the long winded cutscenes and dialogue everyone talks about if there is more than like, 10 battles. Thanks!
19~22, one story battle per chapter. As you get later in the game, cutscenes get more to the point, and you spend more time in exploration phase & voting. Plus the battles themselves get long, so even though it is a single event it will take just as long to get through as the story stuff.
I actually didn't mind it. If I went through the dialogue at my normal reading speed without actually listening to the voice actors I got through the cut scenes in about 5 to 10 minutes
@@michaelpaul92 I agree. Either that or reading in general has been placed as a shameful and embarrasing thing to do ... which we should not be so happy about it.
I love RPGS but man they intimidate me these days. I know its gonna be the only thing I play for a while. I know this game is really good but I just wanna shut down mentally when I get home from work LOL.
You can d-pad on the world map to automatically bounce to other scenes, if there are any. Saves you zooming out and looking around.

@@zimmerguyandross1936 speed ring, amulet, and vanguard scarf. Also delay attack and haste works too.
So, I found something quite interesting with the scales of conviction.

I feel like this game is meant to be figured out to some degree, and they drop hints... its' not impossible, but they've done a good job of keeping it low-key... which I kind of enjoy.
2 actions in one turn... sounds like Anna is a character to promote.
She's S tier for sure. She also has the best jump on your team for the early game, meaning she gets around better than anyone else on maps with great height differences. She's great

I ended up using all of them before I was able to get their ults and there was no way to get anymore. The Merchant only had so many.
As for promoting your characters, you can eventually get enough reputation from mock battles get medals for every character to get them to tier 3. So I wouldn't worry about running out of medals.
Which units did you promote to tier 3 on your first playthrough that you regretted?
Thanks david, you came in clutch with this one. I am a little worried I may have missed an early cutscene or two because while I did scroll the map around - I didn't go all the way to hyzante or the iron city every single time. That spice strategy is legit though, I probably wouldn't have bothered - even with all my SMT training lol
Is this game kind of open world, as in can I go back and fight old battles again to grind or explore extra secret dungeons and find hidden powerful items that aren’t in the main story quests?
I’ll keep this video in mind if I come back to TS. I’ve only successfully played one SRPG (Three Houses) so I’m not 100% sure I can handle the management required.
I love the introduction of drugs to buff your characters.
I'm absolute garbage at strategy games, and only recently got into them again. I used to play them a lot about 25 years ago. The first fight with TS, nearly everyone died lol
Ah man, I hate missable timed things. Usually means tediously clinging to a guide so that I don't have replay it for all the stuff I missed :(
Same
To be fair. The events are easily scrollable with the left dpad/joycon buttons. Just press left or right and you automatically scroll through all available options.
The Infos for the arguments during convictions are trickier. Just talk to everyone and then talk again to everyone.
Well it has multiple endings and certain branching fights. There are also several characters locked to certain paths so you can't see everything in a single playthrough anyway.
The 'best' ending requires making certain decisions.
All your content is great 👍
Thank you!
If not underlevel, normal mode difficulty is ok, only occasionally need to use items. But golden route can be hard because need to not trigger fire trap in town in a specific chapter... Have triggered fire trap once on first try. Not yet reach that in NG+ yet.
Hey. I played the demo and really liked it. My question is , do the battles eventually become more plentiful? Or do you get the option to fight in battles that aren’t story related. I like the story but sometimes the gap between battles is a bit of slough
There are mock battles at the encampment and that’s where you can go whenever, but I’d say the space between battles speeds up a little
Wish i had a switch of my own my brother moved out and took his 😫 and i ain't got $350 lying around for an oled model but glad ur enjoying this game
I noticed there are skills that can be learned after Lvl 10. If you promote the character before say learning a Lvl 13 skill say Eredors Physical Counter ability, will it lock it forever because you didn't learn it as the rank 1 job title or whatever?
I believe that the new skills from promotion only appear when you're in the connected class. I.e. you can't miss skills, if you promote later, and you're already past that level, you just get the ability. This actually isn't that relevant though, because you'll have more than enough to promote everyone to tier 2 with ease. Promoting to tier 3 is when you'll have to choose more carefully. And again, tier 3 skills only appear when in tier 3, so missing skills isn't possible
You forgot about Jens the blacksmith! One of the best characters!
If you create a new save file after each scale of conviction, can you theoretically go back play all the various battles you missed by (by persuading your party to vote differently from your first go-around)? I’m trying to avoid having to play through the entire game numerous times to see everything
For early votes, probably. But later votes, you can only really get enough conviction to support voting 2 ways consistently. Undecided characters, while having lower requirements, do technically already lean to one end of the vote and you can fail to convince them with a bad argument or just really low conviction. But by your 2nd playthrough, this is almost certainly possible.
When is the best time to promote units?
I know in Fire Emblem it is recommended to wait until they hit max level so they learn their final class skill.
That’s not how this game works. Promote them if you want to make them more powerful

Thank you for the info!
yeah some how came back and won with huguette and medina against avlora and 5 other aestfrost solders
I'm in chapter 7 right now, and I'm so curious about who you think is useless. The only character I've unlocked so far that I don't find very useful is Medina, but from context, I don't think that's who you are referring to
Did you finished the game, do you still have the same opinion about Medina? Medina is my favorite character in triangle strategy, due to her passive skills, especially tp physick.
Huh so 5/5 I have been doing all those things. I'm doing great and having fun with this game :)
My sole question is... how many characters can you have in a single run?
Funny, every single one of those would be things i already do in a game out of instinct. Actually, It boggles my mind how someone could enjoy a game any other way, but i guess that's the beauty of life, eh? XD
Anyone know roughly how many battles are in the main story (so not including grinding, even though I'm sure I'd do that too) I can't seem to get a solid answer. I'm fine with dealing with the long winded cutscenes and dialogue everyone talks about if there is more than like, 10 battles. Thanks!
19~22, one story battle per chapter. As you get later in the game, cutscenes get more to the point, and you spend more time in exploration phase & voting.
Plus the battles themselves get long, so even though it is a single event it will take just as long to get through as the story stuff.
@@YourCrazyDolphin sweet thanks!
I wish I knew how verbose the game was. Just like Death End Re;Quest this is a VN with occasional RPG combat.
The demo gave a taste of that. And many reviews warned of it.
I actually didn't mind it. If I went through the dialogue at my normal reading speed without actually listening to the voice actors I got through the cut scenes in about 5 to 10 minutes
I think this aspect is being blown out of proportion
@@michaelpaul92 I agree. Either that or reading in general has been placed as a shameful and embarrasing thing to do ... which we should not be so happy about it.
This game is a lot of fun!
I wish I knew level 1 weapon prices were going to go crazy after my first level 2 upgade
I'm curious to know which characters you find the most helpful, and which you find useless. 🤔
I love RPGS but man they intimidate me these days. I know its gonna be the only thing I play for a while. I know this game is really good but I just wanna shut down mentally when I get home from work LOL.
I LOVE this game
Here i'm praying and hoping they port it to pc soonish.
