1. Early Game Flow

Adventure Begins → Clearing Floor 1

• The adventure starts with the protagonist Kaito alone. You begin with 100G, so your first priority is to buy equipment at the Atokan Shop.
  
• Get a weapon and shield; if you have spare funds, buy some Medicinal Herbs (やくそう).
  
• Early battles are quite tough. Whenever you return to town, your HP and MP are fully restored. A good strategy is to fight 1–2 battles near the dungeon entrance, then return to town, repeat, and build up experience. When you reach about level 2-3, you’ll be able to explore deeper.
  
• A strong early boss on 1F is Yōgan Turtle (ようがんタートル). It has very high defense; if you’re only level 1, you might lose. Use commands like Courage (ゆうき) to increase your attack power, and remember the thunder spell Rai (ライ) learned at level 2.

Floor 1 Deeper → Getting Max

• Deeper in 1F you’ll recruit a beast‐man NPC, Max (マックス). Use his skill Tackle (たいあたり) to open passageways to 2F.
  
• Also, skills like Tackle can be useful in surprising or less obvious places — experiment to find new uses.

Floor 2 → Orc Battles

• Once you reach 2F, enemy strength increases sharply. You’ll want to fight more strategically.
  
• Key enemies include Kobolds (コボルト) and Mages (まほうつかい). Kobolds have high stats — if your defenses are low, you’ll take big damage. Keep fragile characters in the back row.
  
• Mages are dangerous because of their spells, such as Sleep (スリープ). Prioritize eliminating them.
  
• While exploring 2F, you’ll find an elf girl Nene (ネネ) who is under attack by orcs. She has stats higher than Kobolds. Use status effects like paralysis, darkness, and items like Fire Vial (かえんびん) dropped by Yōgan Turtle, to help defeat her. Facing her at low-level is risky; aim for at least level 4.
  
• Obtaining “Proof of Courage” (勇気の証／“Yūki no Akashi”)
  
• After defeating the orcs, Nene joins you. Her elf skill Meditation (めいそう) allows you to break magical barriers. If you’ve been exploring well, you should find an area blocked by a magic barrier — inside is the Proof of Courage.
  
• Without the Proof of Courage, the Adventurers’ Guild will not listen to you. Once you have it, go to the Guild! At this point you can do character creation or class changes, and build a full party of 5 members.

Dungeon Floor 3

• Floor 3 is when things really escalate. Poison status becomes dangerous.
  
• The Cleric learns the purification spell “Depoison” at level 6 — until then, monsters that inflict poison should be your priority to eliminate.
  
• Also use the Mage’s spell Flame (フレイム) generously.
  
• Notable monsters include Tarantula and occasionally Green Slime, which may also use poison attacks.

Dungeon Floor 4

• Floor 4 is a major early hurdle. Mapping, combat, everything becomes more demanding. Be cautious and treat every battle as significant.
  
• From now on, more Dragon-type and Demon-type monsters appear. These enemies have serious offensive potential if you don’t exploit their weaknesses properly:
  
• Dragons often have breath attacks → Ice spells tend to be effective.
  
• Demons have high stats; their defense may be significantly lowered by skills like Defde (デフデ), making attacks more effective. If you have the Mage skill “Exorz (エクソズ)”, it can one-shot demons.

2. Key Tips & Strategies

• Returning to town often helps — since HP/MP restores there, use it as checkpoint between fights.
  
• Experiment with skills: Some have uses beyond just buff/debuff in battle — might open blocked paths, etc.
  
• Managing status ailments early: Prioritize enemies that cause poison, sleep, paralysis, or darkness, especially when you lack counter-spells.
  
• Resource & item usage: Items dropped by early bosses are valuable — use them smartly.

3. Recommended Class Transitions

• In Crescent Tower, repeated class changes raise your stats. When you transition, you can carry over exactly one skill (a successor skill／けいしょうスキル) that you know. Also, ★-rated skills are automatically inherited.
  
• How the stat calculation works when changing class:
  
  • ( Current Stat + Race Base Stat ) ÷ 2
    
  • If that result is below the required stat for the new class, you’ll get at least that required value. Example: To become a Warrior, you need Strength ≥ 11; even if your computed stat is lower, it'll be set to 11. HP never decreases from class change, but for a while after, level-ups may give only +1 HP.
    
  • ★ skills like “Magic Spell / Miracle Spell” (まほうのじゅもん / きせきのじゅもん) are usually ★-rated, so they are auto-inherited. If you inherit “Magic Spell Lv3”, for instance, every time you level up there is a chance to learn spells up through that level.

Suggested Class Paths

Warrior → Mage

• Build HP first (as Warrior), then change to Mage to get a more durable mage. If you also inherit shield equipping ability, even better.

Cleric → Mage

• Similar idea: Cleric grows decent HP; at level 6 when you learn Depoison, or at level 9 when you learn Healer, is a good breakpoint.

Mage → Thief

• Mid-game Thief may suffer from lack of raw power. If Mage learns useful spells first, switching to Thief gives you both spell support and the Thief’s mobility/items. Spells like Exorz (against demons) or Glaze (for dragon weakness) are useful both mid and late game.

Thief → Explorer

• Thief has good item-stealing etc; Explorer helps with mapping. You might take a Thief, inherit Treasure GET (おたからGET) and become an Explorer, getting both benefits. Door Opening (トビラあけ) is somewhat replaceable by spells like Delock (デロック) (Magic Spell Lv4) later.

Explorer → Warrior

• Explorers become less useful as pure fighters later, so switching to Warrior works well. If you inherited Monster Summon / Beast Call (まものよび), you can better handle waves of enemies with a strong defensive base Warrior. Also, assist-type spells learned as Explorer still work in warrior class. Once you pass floor 4, mapping is less dangerous. Compass ability (to check monster stats) can be replaced by Courage Spell Lv4 “Gyōshi (ギョウシ)” later.
