📋 Progression checklist
Phase Objective Checklist
Early game Understand the two layers
  • ・Understand the different roles of the strategic map and tactical combat
  • ・Organize available unit types and roles
  • ・Check your faction's bases and current strength
Midgame Stabilize faction management
  • ・Prioritize advance and defense destinations on the strategic map

Late game Advance the front
  • ・Identify decisive opportunities from the overall strategic situation

⚠️ Troubleshooting

1. Strategic-map priorities are unclear

Cause: The wider military situation is not understood

Solution: Locate bases and fronts, set offensive and defensive priorities, then move forces

2. Tactical battles cause heavy losses

Cause: Overaggressive attacks ignore terrain and range

Solution: Check terrain effects and attack ranges, avoiding unfavorable engagements while advancing cautiously

3. Enemy strength overwhelms you

Cause: Unit development and composition are unbalanced

Solution: Develop complementary roles evenly and build a formation that coordinates in tactical combat

Understand unit roles

Tactical RPG forces combine attackers, supporters, and other roles. Understand what each Terra Phantastica unit does best and use them to cover one another in tactical combat. Role-conscious management stabilizes the front.

  • ▸ Understand each unit's preferred role
  • ▸ Combine attackers, supporters, and other roles
  • ▸ Build formations whose members cover one another
Develop according to a plan

Combat develops strength, but concentrating growth on main units versus spreading it widely changes frontline reliability. Strengthen core forces for difficult sections while reinforcing thinly covered roles. This creates more flexibility across the strategic map. Prepare ahead rather than developing reactively.

  • ▸ Balance core investment and wider development
  • ▸ Prepare strength ahead of difficult sections
  • ▸ Reinforce thinly covered roles to reduce formation gaps
