==Defence Support==
After 3 turns, the defending team will get Defence Support, dealing 100 damage at the end of turn. This amount increases by 50 every subsequent turn.

=Basic Tips=
==Gameplay==
===Look at Enemy Demon Stats===
You can check if the opposing demons have been awakened, look at their skills, and the HP/atk/def values before you enter a fight. Pick your fights wisely and select the correct demons for each situation.

Checking enemies' agility (AG) stats is particularly important in selecting which targets to take out first when you are running a team with '''moderate to high evasion''' (EX: for a typical enemy team of [[Rama]]/[[Mother Harlot]]/[[Guan Yu]]/[[Masakado]], turn order would typically be that as well. Muting that team and dodging Rama and Mother Harlot means you have free shots at Guan Yu and Masakado if you can continue to mute the enemy team)

===Make use of Pass===
If you're short of MP, make sure to pass. Getting as much MP around to your demons should be your priority - so try to fit in your actions at 1/2 Press Turn.

Yellow [[Jack Frost]] and [[Pyro Jack]] are extremely helpful for getting more MP & actions for your main demons.

===Target Selection===
Pick your targets carefully - take out the most threatening demons on the enemy team first. This also includes demons that may have [[Samrecarm]]/[[Recarmdra]].
