Blaze Arts
Signature moves consume HP. Their value depends on timing, positioning, and the state of the Blaze Gauge.
Blaze Gauge
Using Blaze Arts fills the gauge. At halfway it provides a power boost; reaching full triggers Burst.
Burst
Burst ends the bonus and halves the hero’s maximum HP. Treat it as a risk-management decision, not a free damage button.
Town prep
Dagsion supports recruiting, Blessings at temples, training-ground practice, and friendship bonds at inns.
World map
Outside the city, quests, resources, roaming enemies, and dungeons are all official parts of the preparation loop.
Turn rewind
The game offers a limited way to rewind turns, useful for testing a position or recovering from a bad exchange.
