What are Casts?†

The main character in the game and the characters who are either allies, enemy monsters, or both are generally referred to as "casts".
This section is mainly used to specify the basic stats of the cast, such as HP, MP, attack power, and magic, as well as the personalities and abilities of the available skills, items, and other elements that may be involved in battles in the game.

  Select the function of the command by pressing a pull down.
  You can choose from seven types: None, Attack, Charge, Guard, Open Skill List, Open Item List, and Same Effect as Skill.

• Parameters
  Among the command functions, "Charge" and "Guard" can specify a percentage of the effect.
  In addition, "Same Effect as Skill" allows you to select an effect from the registered skills.

• Battle Action AI
  When appearing in battle as an enemy, you can specify how they will act depending on the turn and situation of the battle.
  What action is taken in a given turn is chosen at random from the actions that meet the requirements.
  In other words, if there are many identical rows in the AI, the probability that the action type specified in the row will be selected when the condition is met is increased.

• One Step Forward When Acting
  You can specify whether or not this cast should take one step forward when performing actions such as a normal attack or a critical hit.
  You can also choose whether or not to have a walking motion when moving forward.

• Turns
  For actions, turns can be specified separately from the "Conditions" section.
  Add turns with the + button.
  If more than 1 turn is specified, the action will be chosen only for that turn.
  Unlike "Conditions," this turn loops, so if you specify actions for turns 1 to 3, the fourth turn will be the action that specifies 1 in the turn section.
  If 0 is specified, it will be selected in all turns in which there is no turn-specified action. However, if "counterattack" is specified as a condition for action, the counterattack will be made against enemy attacks in any turn.

• Example 1:
  In this case, the turn 1 action is repeated for all subsequent turns.
  

• Example 2:
  In this case, the specified action "Critical" is selected in turn 1.
  In turn 2 without turn specification, the choice is made among actions with 0 in the turn specification. In this case, it will be "Attack".
  In turn 3, the specified action "Guard" is selected.
  After turn 4, it will be Critical -> Attack -> Guard -> Critical -> Attack -> Guard ......
  

• Conditions
  

• **This cast when it appears as an enemy is hereinafter referred to as "A" and the cast on the player's side that will be the opponent at that time is referred to as "B".

  Current HP(%), Current MP(%)	A's current HP/MP (percentage)
  Average party level	Average level of B party
  Turn	Number of turns in this battle	The first turn is turn 1.
  When the specified state change is made	A's state change	If the state change is "not" in progress, it is not possible to specify it.
  When the specified event switch is ON	State of the specified event switch	Any value/local numeric variable can be referenced, but local numeric variables are not shared with custom events in the cast.
  When attacked (counterattack)	When ON, it acts immediately after an attack.	- Actions that activate this condition will no longer be chosen when A's turn comes around. - If the action performed under this condition targets B alone, it targets B who has attacked. - If the action performed under this condition targets A alone, then A is targeted. - When this condition is specified, the "Continuous" setting is turned off. - If turn 0 is specified, it will counterattack against enemy attacks in any turn if the other conditions are met. If a turn other than turn 0 is specified, it will counterattack in the specified turn and in the turn in which there is no turn-specified action.

• If multiple conditions are specified for one action, the action is taken when all conditions are met.

• If there is more than one action that meets the condition at the same time, it will be selected at random from among them. (Specifying more than one action with the same conditions will make it easier for that action to be chosen.)　　

• If none of the actions satisfy the conditions, "Do Nothing" is selected.

• Action Type
  Specify the action to be taken that turn.
  There are seven types to choose from: Attack, Critical, Do Nothing, Use Skill, Guard, Charge, and Escape.

• Options
  Among the actions, for "Guard" and "Charge," you can specify the percentage of guarding and attacking that will be increased.
  Also, under "Use Skill," you can select a skill to use from here.

• Continuous
  If checked, after performing this action, perform the actions for the next turn continuously.
  If an action is selected that is not checked in continuous, or if the number of turns loops back to this action, the continuous action ends.

Examples of Battle AI†

• The simplest example
  This is an example of a simple enemy that repeats its normal attack each turn, occasionally uses skills, and also occasionally unleashes a critical attack.
   
  
   
  Enemy actions can be specified in this way, and several of them will be chosen at random.
  By arranging several of the same action, as in the normal attack in this example, the probability that it will be chosen can be increased. In this example, there are six actions to choose from, so the probability of a non-critical normal attack is 2/3 (about 67%).
  (If neither critical nor skill use is needed, just specify one line for normal attack.)
   
• Example of using simple conditions such as current HP and MP in the concept of turn to act and action conditions
  This is an example of a slightly complex enemy that repeats the cycle of charging its strength in the first turn, launching an attack in the second turn, and then doing something else in the third turn.
   
  
   
  The "turn" in the first column of the table determines the order in the cycle, and the action conditions further narrow down the candidate actions.
  The first turn has two "Charge" specified, and each turn is further specified in terms of action conditions. In this example, the cycle is one of three turns, so the action "Charge," which is specified as an action condition for turns 1 to 3 and an optional attack power increase of 30%, will work only the first time, and "Charge" with an attack power increase of 60% will be selected for the rest of the cycle. In addition, there are actions with a turn 1 specified, so actions with a turn 0 specified are not candidates for selection.
  Since nothing is specified for the second turn, turn 0 actions, five normal attacks and a critical are candidates.
  In the third turn, action conditions based on the enemy cast's own HP/MP remaining are specified for two actions except for the normal attack. If two or more action conditions are specified in this way, only actions that satisfy all of them will be selected as candidates. Since normal attacks are unconditional, they are chosen as candidates regardless of HP/MP remaining.
  After the fourth turn, the cycle repeats itself again.
   
• Those with complex conditions, such as found in event battles, etc.
  This is an example of a powerful event boss that launches a variety of skill attacks in a single three-turn cycle.
   
  
   
  In this example, the action condition "when the event switch "Orb of Disaster" is ON" is specified for a skill attack. If the player can take some countermeasures before the boss battle in the game and start the boss battle with this event switch turned off, he or she will be able to battle with the advantage of sealing off the overall attack and recovery skills. In this way, the results of prior events can be reflected in the battle.
  The skill "Fire" specifies as a condition of action in any turn a change of state of "Burns" created by the state definition in the Database. Only when this cast is in a "Burns" state with this specification will "Fire" be selected.
  For example, if you create and specify a state change such as "Awakening" or "Rampage", maybe you can come up with a way for the boss to attack according to the state of the battle.
  Also, a counterattack is specified for turn 0. If the enemy's own HP is 70% or less, it will counterattack against attacks by allied casts. In this example, the enemy is returning a normal attack, but it can also use a skill to attack, heal, and so on.

Formula for Each Status Increase†

Formula for Each Status Increase†

The increase in status through level-up will vary depending on the "Growth Type".

• Formula
  Value of Status after Level Up = (Current Value) + (Value of Increase at Previous Level) * (Coefficients for Each Growth Type)

Example: If the basic increase value is 3 and the growth type is "Accelerate," 3*1.02 is added for LV1 to LV2, and 3*1.02*1.02 for LV2 to LV3.
Decimal points are rounded down in the calculation results. However, only the "Value of increase at previous level" is retained as a decimal.

• Coefficients for Each Growth Type

  Accelerate	1.02
  Slightly Accelerated	1.01
  Average	1.00
  Slightly Slowed Down	0.99
  Slow Down	0.98

Formula for Level Increase by Experience†

The number of experience points required per level varies depending on the [Growth Speed].
The experience table below is based on the case of "Average" growth speed. If other is selected, each factor is calculated and applied to the formula below.

• Formula
  Experience Required for Next Level = Value of the Experience Table * Coefficient for Each Growth Speed

• Coefficient for Each Growth Speed

  Precocious	0.98
  Slightly Fast	0.99
  Average	1.00
  Slightly Late	1.01
  Late Bloomer	1.02

• Experience Table for "Average" Growth Speed
