Prologue First War of Heroes—Xok’s Knights Legend holds that when war threatens Bersia with destruction, seven knights will appear to bring salvation. The legend came true when the mysterious Khiliani, leader of the Dark Legion, took the eastern Hexter of Bersia in his campaign to destroy the world. Seven heroes rose up against Khiliani to rally for humanity and defend Bersia. The battle turned when a fallen hero, Rick Miner, was resurrected through the immortal power of the Ancient Heart.
Characters Rupert Human Alliance Gerald Hero Main Skill: Melee Main Weapon: One-Handed Sword Six years ago, Gerald joined the Hironeiden Army as a mere soldier. Two years ago, showing exceptional valor during the Hexter invasion, he was promoted to Captain of the entire Eastern Defense Force. Clever and quick-witted, he confounds his enemies with unconventional, yet efficient, tactics. Gerald excels at analyzing a situation accurately and values skill over rank or bloodline.
Dark Legion Duane Officer, Knight Main Skill: Melee Main Weapon: Morning Star Duane is a knight from the honorable, but fallen house of Ecclesia Colonok. He volunteered to join the defense force of the Holy Ground to re-establish the honor of his house’s name.

Thomas Officer Main Skills: Melee, Magic Main Weapon: Flail Thomas is Kendal’s friend.
Urukubarr Officer Cirith Officer Main Skills: Melee, Magic Main Weapon: One-Handed Sword Self-centered and pretty, Cirith takes a somewhat air-headed pride in her heritage as a Dark Elf. She plays the part of Lucretia’s butt-kissing lackey, but her true intention is to spy on Rithrin. Main Skill: Melee Main Weapon: Bare Hand Simple-minded Urukubarr the Ogre was once Chief of Gorzanik, the most powerful of all OrcOgre tribes. He now defends the land of Hexter.
World Map Ecclesia The current patriarch of Ecclesia is Dimitri the Third, whose religious ideology dictates the “Extermination of unconvertible barbarians and unification of Bersian Continent under one faith.” Dimitri had taken over Azilla as a tributary nation while Azilla was in chaos over the king’s throne.
Game Basics Movement/Tactics Mode Cursor A pillar of light indicates a tip of the cursor. Move the cursor to desired location, and press A to move troops. Mini Map Green: Allies Red: Enemies Blue: Non-Player Character Allies Hit Points (HP) Represents the Hit Points of allied troops. The selected troop is enlarged. Direction of Troops Direction in which to find allied or enemy troops. Additional Information More information is shown depending on the mission.
Using Ability Basic controls for the Movement/Tactics Mode. You can use abilities with ?. A certain amount of Skill Points is needed to use each ability. Movement Move the cursor to the desired location with L. Press A to move the selected troop to the location. It works the same way with the mini map on.
Battle Mode Hit Points (HP) Represents the Hit Points of allied troops. A red sword indicates that the troop is in a battle. Enemy Leader The Enemy Leader is highlighted by a red circle and Hit Points bar. Enemy Hit Points Represents the Hit Points of the enemy troop. Hero The green bar represents the Hit Points of the Hero. The Hero gets knocked down if the Hit Points are depleted. Skill Points (SP) Skill Points can be earned by landing successful attacks and are needed for using abilities.
Basic Battle System Battles start automatically when the distance between your troops and enemy troops narrows. During battle, a troop’s Hit Points decrease at a specific rate—and the type of units involved affects the rate of attack and damage sustained. Make sure to consider how the unit types match up against each other for effective battle. The Hero’s Troop As the Hero’s troop does melee battle with its enemies, it changes to Hero Battle Mode.
World Map As you leave your base or battlefield, the world map screen appears. You can move to each node connected with dotted line. Managing Troops You can strengthen your troops at the Barracks by spending money and Experience Points. There, you can purchase equipment, learn new skills, and change jobs. If a destination you choose is a battlefield, the screen will change to display an associated briefing. Use L to cycle through Hero, Officer, and troop options.
Leader Officer The Leader is an extremely important role in the game. The growth of the Leader can decide the growth of the troop. The greater the Leader, the more powerful his troops. An Officer supports the Hero during battle and the troop’s defense rate. (The Adjutant General influences the mastery of element skill attacks.) If the Leader’s Hit Points falls to zero, not only does the Leader die, but it also means the troop’s complete destruction.
Troops Units All actions on the battlefield revolve around troops. The number of soldiers in the troop depends on the job to which that troop is assigned. The level of the troop depends on the level of its Hero or Leader. When the skill of the troop reaches a certain level, you can change its job. Job-change requirements are listed at the Barracks. Note: The Hero’s troop can only change into melee-related jobs.
Dark Legion Skills Every unit gets one skill as a default, and up to four skills can be learned. Skills can be increased by spending Experience Points. • Cavalry Archer This unit is unique to the Dark Elves. It can move and attack simultaneously with great speed. • Orc-Ghoul This unit is unique to Orcs and Undeads. Aside from its melee attacks, the self-destruct attack can be devastating against enemy troops. • Scorpion This huge Scorpion is trained to be a siege weapon.
