Battle Planning Tool (WIP)

This guide contains a list of the items, spells and enemies you'll encounter in the game and was made to be somewhat better prepared before each battle, in how far that is possible in this random game. It's a work in progress.

Warning

I'm only human so there's a possibility of this guide being riddled with mistakes. If you find one, feel free to point me in the right direction and I'll change it. These mistakes can be grammar-related but also content-related.

E.g. in case of the attacks per trait or enemy, I mostly had to guess or deduce (through the experience of multiple battles) if an attack belonged to a trait or enemy. My reasoning could've been off so certain attacks might be located at the wrong trait or enemy.

The guide may also be incomplete.
