TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga（PlayStation 2）
🛡️ Manage consumable equipment and limited funds
In this game, both weapons and defensive equipment (shields) are consumable, and money and storage space are limited. The core of supply management is understanding durability and strength, then deciding when to use equipment freely and when to conserve it. Use the facilities in Narubia to keep supplies and replacements flowing so your force remains effective.
TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga — what should I check first in Weapons, equipment, and supplies?
Weapons and shields have durability, which gradually decreases when you land attacks or parry. Their condition is shown by color: new equipment starts blue, then deteriorates through green, yellow, and orange; red means it is close to breaking. Equipment also has strength grades from A to F, with higher strength tending to make it harder to break. Check these colors regularly and replace or replenish equipment approaching red before battle.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Learn the distinctive rules and prepare at your base |
|
| Midgame | Make map clears more consistent |
|
| Late game | Finish difficult maps and collection goals |

1. Taking heavy losses on maps
Cause: Advancing too aggressively without enough preparation
Solution: Prepare equipment at the base, then advance carefully using range and terrain
2. Weapons run out quickly
Cause: Poor management of durability and supplies
Solution: Restock at the base and avoid overusing expensive weapons against ordinary enemies
3. Missing allies or events
Cause: Overlooking recruitment conditions
Solution: Check recruitment and event conditions before starting a map

Narubia has weapon and item shops where equipment can be bought and sold. At a workshop (atelier) staffed by craftsmen, you can also use materials to craft and improve equipment. Storage space is limited, so you need to sort out unwanted items while managing your inventory. Money is consistently tight as well: separate immediate necessities from investments for the future when shopping.
- ▸ Buy and sell equipment at weapon and item shops
- ▸ Ask workshop craftsmen to craft or improve equipment
- ▸ Sort your inventory because storage capacity is limited
- ▸ Distinguish necessities from investments when spending money
Berwick Saga handles mounted units in a distinctive way: damage taken while mounted also affects the horse. A horse is lost when its HP runs out, and you must buy another to ride again. Horses are expensive, and their HP and stat bonuses differ by type. Avoid exposing cavalry too heavily on the front line and watch their horses' health; doing so ultimately reduces expenses.
- ▸ Damage taken while mounted also affects the horse
- ▸ You lose the horse when its HP runs out
- ▸ New horses are expensive, with performance varying by type
- ▸ Avoid overexposing cavalry and watch horse health
