This guide is to help those who have some trouble beating those pesky pevins. However, because the arsonal you acumulate every playthrough will be very different, I can't give you specifics.

A recomended list of equipment:
*At least 1 weapon of every element; Fire, Lightning, Wind, Gissa
*At least one item or ally that heals you (some weapons heal too, but not usually by a lot, and the healing fluid won't always be enough)
*A few weapons or allies with high stun rates.
*At least 1 weapon or ally that hits (or can hit) all enemies.
Remember that, while there are reletively few things that you are required to do, the more things you do in each chapter, the more loot you get, and more loot means more equipment and more options during combat and other events.

Event help:
Events that ask you to, for example, use a bladed weapon or a strong ally to do something, are quite straitforward. Sometimes choosing not to use the item will cause you to loose a small amount of Health, other events will simply cause you to fail the event. Yet others will cause you to be attacked. You will have to use your judgement. If you are unsure if an object qualifies for the event, read its description. Other events will ask you to do certain things, and only context clues will help you out. Just figure out the quirks of the different races and animals and you should be fine.

Combat help:
*Watch your health and your main health potion. If the potion is full, it will have the yellow outline. This potion will instantly heal you all the way back to 100. What's helpful is that you can use the health potion during your turn, during your enemy's turn, in between enemy attacks, on the main map, even during an event. Your health potion refills a bit every time you stun an enemy.

*Know enemy strengths and weaknesses. If you hit an enemy with an element that they don't like, they recieve a bit more damage and are stunned. Hit them with an element or weapon type that they do like, they recieve reduced damage. If you are unsure about their strengths and weaknesses, ask your ally Komaho.

*Calculate your stuns. Your health potion can only refill to max, no more. However, there are ways to make lots of stuns happen if you need to fill that potion. Be sure to exploit weaknesses and use equipment with high stun rates to get those stuns you need.

*Take note of what equipment do a lot of damage. Pretty self explanitory.

*Take note of equipment durability. Don't be afraid to use your equipment, but do make some effort to conserve them. If an enemy is on his last legs, think about just punching him.

*Don't forget your items. It is easy to forget about your items in between weapons and allies. Many items provide buffs, blocks, or easy stuns. A lot of these items even have their own blend of uniqueness. Many don't do damage, but they are just as valuable as your weapons.

*Unique equipment. There are so many items in this game that have interesting and unique quirks. Some items are restrictive (Like allies that only attack animals), others have bonuses (like a weapon that does additional damage to enemies with their mouth open). Pay attention to these quirks and develop your strategies around them. Play and experiment. See what works.

That's all I can give you. Enjoy scavenging.
