Let's learn the basics of battle!

In the Summoner's Guide Vol. 1, the main character "Ringo" introduces the basics of the battle system in "Soul Hackers 2".
In this title, as in the "Shin Megami Tensei" series, "Persona" series, and other ATLUS titles, the basic idea is to take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses in battle.
Enemies have weaknesses and resistances to each attribute, and by striking their weaknesses, you can not only inflict great damage, but also gain a variety of advantages.

Apples" can be equipped with a demon "Nakamae" as an ally, allowing them to directly use the skills of the demon's Nakamae.
By equipping a demon with a skill that has the enemy's weakest attribute, you can use it to your advantage and attack the enemy's weak points.

Of course, since the enemy has weaknesses, your allies also have weaknesses, and if they are exploited, you will be at a disadvantage.
It is also important to prepare resistance to weaknesses, so it is necessary to consider the attributes of the skills used by the enemy.

When you hit an enemy's weak point, you can summon a demon to the spot. This is called a " stack.

The summoned demons wait until the end of their turn, and at the end of the turn, the " Ringo" gives the order to attack the enemy simultaneously in a "Sabbat "!
Up to 16 demons can be "stacked ", and the more demons are "stacked", the more spectacular and powerful the "sabbat" will be.

Some of the "Chase Skills " can be learned by the player.
If a player with the "Pursuit Skill" participates in a "Sabbat," there is a probability that a pursuit will occur, and a variety of additional effects will occur.
These include inflicting abnormal conditions and recovering allies, so be proactive and go for it!

The main character "Ringo" can use " Commander Skill " by modifying his COMP.
Some increase the power of "Sabbat," others allow you to replace your comrades without consuming a turn, and still others increase the number of actions you can take.
All of them are powerful, but there are restrictions on the number of elapsed turns to use them, so be sure to use them while keeping an eye on the situation!
