Help me out with the battles

[Tizoc]

So i am a little comfused about the combat in this game
I get that i need to predict my enemies' movements to postion myself in an area where my attacks will hit them, but the randomness is confusing me

I take it i can use items so whould i abuse items thatll attract ghosts and then positiom myself to launch an attack?

I haven't played much (sorry if that post doesn't help much then), but I can totally relate to this... I spent some time in the tutorial fight trying to predict where the ghost would be, but ended up running around uselessly x)
And yeah, I assume there are items that you can use to attract them towards certain places among other things.

Question regarding battles:
Can I freely change between Shiga and Seecloar as assistants or do I have to learn cat language now?

Okay, this is very old, but I'll try to answer these questions for anyone else who stumbles in:

1. When you go to start a mission, the red Xs indicate where the ghosts might spawn. Easiest thing to do is just to use Table Salt. It's cheap, and they can't move past it. Use it to block the ghosts into a literal corner then run in and bash them down. There is a particular object which attracts ghosts, you can leave traps for them nearby for when they come close.

Also, remember you get a prediction for ghost movements. I find they tend to move towards an enemy to fight if screaming, or away from the closest enemy if they are fleeing.

2. Seecloar enters randomly. He'll show up and reveal areas of the map if you get stuck.

Not what I meant, but I figured it out in the menatime.
What I meant is that Seecloar replaced Shiga as a battle narrator, which is imho pretty annoying.

Apparently this happens when using a Seecloar charm to raise his appearance rate. So removing the issue got solved once I removed the charm.
