- Consider equipping the Gold Bangle on Hope, giving Lightning 2x Tungsten Bangles, and using an Aegisol and Fortisol before challenging difficult enemies.
- Prepare the following Paradigm Shifts: COM/COM/RAV (default), RAV/RAV/RAV, COM/COM/SAB, RAV/RAV/SAB, MED/RAV/MED.
- You can peer over the edge to assess enemy groups and decide whether to engage or avoid them.
