Farming mats and grinding exp?

[klaud]

For people that alrdy played it on switch, is there a way to grind exp for level? And also does farming the material is hard? Because i just watched youtube vid and it said to spend your mats for weapon upgrade wisely.
So is it hard to farm the materials?

You can do unlimited skirmishes for materials and gold, which can be used to buy a finite amount from the merchant also.

Your gear will be locked by certain 'tiers' that will require rarer components which won't drop until higher level missions though, so you can't just max out by infinite grinding at any given moment.

It uses a system of exponentially greater materials required per upgrade within a tier, so let's say you have 5 upgrades available at Tier 1 to choose from for one guy and the material cost is a paltry 2 iron for any of them; obtaining one of these will make any of the other four remaining cost maybe 6, and then 12 etc. etc. so it can quickly ramp up and get quite costly to focus on one character's single tier. Makes you think about what you want to get in lieu of the other options, and even spread them around to multiple characters instead of building up one guy.

Enemies/missions level with you, so it's not recommended to grind levels.
Even if someone is falling way behind the rest of your troops its often times more beneficial to just take them into the next mission and get them to score hits since the XP gain will be multiplied by how much lower they are, and they'll probably gain 1.5 levels for every action until they rapidly catch up.

Just for one level or two above the story, else you will spend a lot and lot of time.
It is better to review your strategy. Sometimes yes one level is what you need but not more

One nice thing about the game is that if you lose a battle you don't have to reset, since any EXP you gain is kept but all items used are returned -- i.e. you can use the story fights to 'grind' a bit. There's also no penalty for being KOed in battle, outside of course being down units.
(Also there's NO level scaling, not sure why the poster above said that. Hell the optional missions even specifically tell you what level they are at and never change).

Oo really? No level scaling and no penalty for losing in story mission? So theres no game over?

It's less game over and more mission failed, as it were.
