Boss Battle:Some events require you to fight an especially powerful boss. This is described here.
Youkai Army
Notable Characters:
- Wriggle: Captured upon defeating the Youkai Army. Mediocre stats except a good RES score, can be turned into whatever sort of you unit you have need of.
- Eternal Night Hermit – Whenever she attacks, she has a chance of inflicting a poison that causes the enemy to lose HP each turn. Triggers quite often.
- Mystia: Becomes a freelancer upon defeat of Youkai Army. Decent RNG, DEF/WIS, and NEG stats.
- Maddening Song – Makes all damage random until her next turn.
- Rumia: Becomes a freelancer upon defeat of Youkai Army. Mediocre stats, suggest increasing MEL to take advantage of Darkness ability.
- Darkness – Takes less damage overall, and no counterattack damage when in melee combat.
Forest of Magic
Notable Characters:
- Alice: Captured upon conquering the Forest of Magic. Strong range attack as well as good NEG and RES scores for negotiation and development.
- Doll Manipulation – Increases the stats of dolls deployed with Alice. This ability makes her a good match up with Medicine.
- Shanghai: Captured upon conquering the Forest of Magic. High melee attack skill.
- Dolls War – Damages and decreases the speed of one enemy. Good for hamstringing fast enemy units.
- Hourai: Captured upon conquering the Forest of Magic. Decent ranged attack score.
- Artful Sacrifice – Sacrifice a large portion of Hourai’s health to heal all friendly units.
Pre-Battle Events:
- Deploy Medicine against Alice in the Magic Forest Interior.
Higan Guard
Notable Characters:
- Shikieiki: Captured upon the conquering of Muenzuka. High ranged attack and ranged defense, as well as a good NEG skill.
- Yama’s Judgement – Chance to stun one enemy and may also reduce their stats. This ability can be completely resisted.
- Komachi: Becomes a freelancer upon the defeat of Muenzuka. High melee attack skill, decent defense and speed.
- Higan Ferrier – Chance of instantly KO’ing one enemy. Unreliable attack.
Pre-Battle Events:
- Deploy Youmu against Komachi at the Road of Reconsideration.
Human Village
Notable Characters:
- Keine: Captured upon the fall of the Human Village. Great all around stats except for a mediocre speed. She can be developed into whatever sort of character you want her to be.
- History Concealer – Stuns Keine, but increases the DEF of all allies. Extremely useful when facing a strong melee army.
- Ayku: Captured upon the fall of the Human Village. Low all around stats except for NEG.
- Chronices – Halves the target enemy’s DEF and WIS. Can be fully resisted. Great for making strong enemies vulnerable.
- Aya: Certain events must be met to capture Aya. See the character events below for details. Great ranged attack power and speed, with all other stats except DEF being very good as well. Increasing her speed and range to 10+ will give you a very powerful character that can attack multiple times in rapid succession.
- Wind God’s Fan – Special melee attack that puts her at far distance from an enemy. Makes up for her low DEF by giving her an easy out when under melee attack.
Pre-Battle Events:
- Deploy Marisa against Aya. Note above that this meeting is necessary to eventually capture and recruit Aya.
Hakugyokurou Hades
Notable Characters:
- Yuyuko: Captured upon the fall of Hakugyokurou. High combat and defensive stats, so she can be effective at both melee and range attacks, but this is countered by a low speed score.
- Invitation to Death – Can cut multiple enemies HP in half. This attack can hit several targets or no targets, unreliable.
- Youmu: Captured upon the fall of Hakugyokurou. High MEL and SPD, but low defenses. She can be a melee glass cannon.
- Blade Flash – Closes to close distance with target and performs a melee attack at any range. This can be used to start Youmu far away from all targets and to charge her in at a target of opportunity at the start of the battle, allowing you to avoid damage to Youmu and take out a key enemy character.
- Lunasa Prismriver: Becomes a freelancer after Hakugyokurou is defeated. Decent stats in almost all categories, but is best in melee combat. Her low speed is her only drawback.
- Melancholy Music – Decreases enemy stats randomly. A good support skill.
- Lyrica Prismriver: Becomes a freelancer after Hakugyokurou is defeated. Mediocre stats except for a high SPD and NEG. However, she can heal your troops which is a rare and valuable skill.
- Fantastical Rhythms – Heals your troops continuously each turn once cast, at the cost of stunning Lyrica.
- Merlin Prismriver: Becomes a freelancer after Hakugyokurou is defeated. Good at ranged combat, but low defensive scores.
- Maniacal Music – Randomly increases allies stats. A good support skill.
- Lily White: Becomes a freelancer after Hakugyokurou is defeated. Annihilate your enemies with the power of spring. (Low stats in everything but ranged attack power).
- Spring Awakening – Randomly buffs enemies and allies. Use it and cheer your luck or curse your misfortune.

- Deploy Eirin against Youmu at the Hakugyokurou Stairs.
- Deploy Komachi against Youmu at the Hakugyokurou Stairs.

Boss Battle:
- After capturing Hakugyokurou, you will have to fight a powered up Yuyuko that draws power from the Saigyou Ayakashi and confronts all of your troops at once.
- You will be required to select five troops to enter battle against Yuyuko. For this battle, you have unlimited counter to work with.
- Troops defeated here will not leave your army, and if someone is KOd during the battle a another unit will take their place.
- Yuyuko is much tougher here. She has high defenses and attack power. In addition, the lack of a combat counter means she will use her special over and over, constantly halving multiple troops HP and then finishing them off with one attack.
- Debuff her defense if you can and throw troops into the grinder. Depending on when you challenge Yuyuko, this battle can be extremely tough.
- Expect to spend a lot of money healing your troops after this.
