	SATUROS

Saturos menu:
Isaac's herbs to Ivan, Garets Herbs to Mia, any nuts to Mia
Djinn:
Isaac: Fizz [sb]/Granite

Saturos Pattern: Attack-Heat Flash-Fireball-Attack-Fireball-Heat Flash-Attack-Eruption

Turn 1: Granite/Ramses/Slash/Nereid

x4 Defend if T1 is Attack [2/3 chance of AOE incl Eruption]
Else, after T2 you know where Saturos is in his Pattern.

Ivan will spend every turn healing with Herbs (you have 7)
Mia will heal after an AOE turn, otherwise use Prism or Nereid
Garet will cycle djinn, summoning Ramses in the off turn
Isaac will cycle djinn, Curing if necessary, otherwise Spire

Defend is an option if someone might die and can't be healed!
Use the table below to inform your decision making

Max Damage Table:
		| Isaac | Garet | Ivan | Mia |
		|-------|-------|------|-----|
Eruption| 102   | 90    | 96   | 102 |

Heat F  | 52    | 44    | 57   | 58  |
Fireball| 74    | 66    | 70   | 74  |

Optimal Fight is about 7 turns (incl a defend round).

	POST SATUROS [7/7/8/10]

Djinn: I Merc, G Flint/Forge, V Granite/Fever, M Jupiter
Summons are still pretty good.
Run% is about 45%, kill things in Imil overworld, run in Bilibin Cave

	KOLIMA

Avoid (hotkey over retreat) after Bilibin cave. Avoid works to Tret.
In Tret, can Avoid R1 (first interior) and R3 (first exterior) for some reason.
Run% is 60% so just run from everything.

Breeze:
Djinn: Swap Isaac and Ivan's djinn. (Isaac: Granite/Fever, Ivan: Merc)
SB all, set Gust
Ramses/Def/Kirin/Nereid
[should outspeed]
[can't see a way to remove the summons on VM and Ramses with I is faster than Fever]

	TRET [8/7/8/10]

Firstly, don't try for rainbow kill. Rainbows aren't worth it!! Stalling Summons reduces djinn recovery timeloss. Psynergy with Mia is pointless. Only summon/attack.

Djinn: SB all, set Fever, Flint

Goal: 5x 50-60 dmg abilities (Plasma, Spire, Nereid, Flare Wall), x4 Summons, Fever+Flint

Sample fight:
Fever/Flint/Atalanta/Def
Ramses/Flare Wall/Plasma/Nereid
Kirin/Def/Plasma/Plasma

Heal [12 PP for double retreat!], Hotkey Retreat and use it
(Retreat glitch through Tret entrance takes you to entrance in case you mess up)

	FUCHIN FALLS [8/8/8/10]
Summon rush things:
Ramses/Def/Plasma/Def for Ooze mobs
Ramses/Def/Kirin/Def for Maulers
Ramses/Def/Plasma/Kirin for Lizard Fighter

Inside Fuchin Falls Cave SB all, set mars on Isaac to outspeed bonefighters
Ramses/Def/Plasma/Atk-Psy will kill things

Set up for Zephyr when doing retreat glitch:
[Heal]
SB all, Set Fever, Forge trade Gust
Reorder: Ivan to first slot

Zephyr [VIGM]: Ramses (UU)/Fever/Kirin/Nereid
Stormray can OHKO people

	MOGALL FOREST [8/8/8/11]

Heal with Mia, Zephyr to Garet
Djinn Setup: V: 2Me, I: Fever/Gust, G: Flint/Granite/Zephyr, M: Forge/Breeze

Run% is about 40%, rising to 55% at 9/9/9/11

Strategy: SB all, set merc + forge (mia) [allows Ivan and Mia to outspeed all mobs]

Procne/Def/Def/Def Moles-Creepers-Bats on edges, and Single enemies
Plasma/Def/Def/Procne anything else
Plasma/Def/Something/Procne if not confident in kill

Quartz: Procne/Def/Kirin/Nereid
Quartz to Mia [can also set quartz to enable outspeeds, but this allows for faster forge setting]

Get Elven Shirt, wait until Killer Ape to Equip

	KILLER APE [9/9/9/11]

Menu: Eshirt to Mia, SB all, set Fever, set Granite, set Zephyr (Garet) trade Breeze (Mia)
Use Mint on Garet [ensures T3 outspeed]
[Hard nut (bilibin) on Ivan and Granite to Ivan might make him survive Ransack with good RNG levels]

Ideal Fight:
Procne/Fever/Blast/Zephyr
Plasma/Ramses/Granite/Nereid
Plasma/Venus/Kirin/Prism

Ply with Mia on T2 if people get in trouble, use cybele instead of Ramses to avoid the four turn. Ransack can OHKO Ivan T1.

Ransack dmg: 96/89/85/9X

	XIAN [10/10/10/12]

Heal after Killer Ape and pray you don't get a fight en route to Xian.
Nothing for us in Xian except Mist, so we get Mist then leave.

While waiting for the girl: trade sleet (V) and granite (G), SB all
Move Isaac to position 1
After collecting Mist move Isaac back to position 2

Djinn now: V: granite/fizz, I: fever/mist/gust, G: flint/sleet/breeze, M: Quartz/Forge/Zephyr

Should just be SB all djinn for fights now.
Apes here are scary, need Neptune + Procne to kill. Tiamat also works! Otherwise its a T3+T2+psynergy/atk
Turn order is Ivan > Mia unless Mia has a djinn set.

Corona: [can kill Ivan with bad luck]
[risk] Procne/Def/Def/Neptune
[norisk] Def/Atk/Procne/Neptune

	ALTIN [11/11/10/12]

Can consider grabbing the psynergy stone in the cave. Basically only useful to repair Ivan's pp if youre getting bad RNG mobs, or Mia's pp for healing. Can also be sold to ensure full buys everywhere. With Cassock on Mia you don't really need this for FD.

Living Statue:
Procne/Fever/Tiamat/Ramses

Fights: Apes are x2 T3 summons, 'weak' things die to Procne, Bonefights psynergy+procne
Turn order with no djinn set is V->M(->I)

Heal with Isaac after the second LS fight, equip Frost+Douse to Isaac prior to Frost, retreat glitch through the door prior to LivingStatue3 room to skip Altin.

	LAMA TEMPLE [11/12/11/13]

Get the free WoL.
Dont' really need to heal in Lamakan since you're one turning before they're actioning anyway.

Procne kill table:
	1st	2nd	2nd w/psy
Bee	Y	Y
Rat	Y	N	Y
Grub 	Y	Y	Y[target]
Orc	Y	N	Y
Sala	N	N	N	Procne+Nereid for single target, Neptune otherwise

Get Vulcan Axe
Get Smog and heal with Isaac after
Use Thor against Sala's if needed (targetted kills)
In the nook in the wall on the left hand side (above the skeleton), use reveal THEN retreat glitch to get Ant Lion glitch spawn [use this time to heal with Isaac or Mia]

Ant Lion: [2 turns so that djinn recover from Thor]
Thor/Def/Def/Def
Plasma/Def/Def/Ice

	MANTICORE [12/12/12/13]

Pattern: Poison Tail - Impair - Mad Blast - Poison Tail - Atk - Curse - Nova - Delude

Menu: Smog(V) with Breeze(G), then with Gust(I) [so smog ends up on Isaac]
SB all, set Granite, Breeze, Smog, Zephyr
Menu: all vials and healing to Isaac, WOL+Vulcan Axe to Garet

Strategy: use granite on the Mad Blast-Poison Tail or PT-Atk turn (or nova turn), Cybele asap afterwards

Sample Fight
T1: Breeze/Smog/Neptune/Zephyr
T2: Thor/Heal/Tiamat/Heal CP or Tundra
T3: Granite/CP or Heal/Cutting Edge/Heal CP or Tundra
T4: Wind Slash/Cybele/Cutting Edge/Drench

Use Thor to kill intermediate mobs (be sure to recharge out of forest for Vine though!)
[Procne kills a single enemy]
Vine:
Plasma/Def/Def/Thor

	KALAY [12/13/12/14] [Coins: 14515]

Sell a Psy Crystal [if <16k coins], empty bottle, any other crap you might have that has value
Buy:
Mail Cap: VIGM
Gauntlets: VM
Chain Mail: IG
Jerkin: V
Make sure you have 600g afterwards for the boat ticket!

[If Kraken Sleep Bomb Strats: Grab the Sleep Bomb from the pot above the armor shop/below the left fountain before scorch]

	BOAT

Eshirt to Ivan during the Anchor menu, SB all djinn
Thor-Meteor-Judgement

	KRAKEN [13/13/13/14]

Strategy: play for the sleep, 78% with current strats, sleep bomb improves to 86%
[Vulcan axe is 18% to work, sleep bomb is 32% to work]

Eshirt back to Mia for Kraken
SB all, set Granite (V), Mist(I), Smog(I), Scorch(G), Zephyr(M)

Djinn now:
V: Granite/Corona/Fizz/Breeze
I: Fever/Mist/Smog
G: Scorch/Sleet/Gust
M: Quartz/Forge/Zephyr

Kraken:
Granite/Mist/Scorch/Zephyr
Sleep/Smog/Meteor/Neptune
Thor/Judgement/Heatwave/Tundra

T1 sleep = plasma T2 instead of tundra T3 (can atk with mia to eliminate any atk ranges)
Sleep bomb strats: give to Mia, use it T2 instead of Neptune, Plasma T4 should kill

	ALTMILLER [13/13/13/14]

Be sure to recover two sets of djinn on the boat [gains access to Thor]
Don't worry about entering Tolbi, there's nothing that you need here atm (not even Ember)
[Unless planning on DeathWarp... then enter/exit]

Fights: T4 summons [Judge: 353, Meteor: 459, Boreas: 516, Thor: 611 framecount].
Ivan needs the Elven shirt to outspeed. V>I>M>G for agility. Isaac outspeed Earth Golem.

Dirge doesn't die to Judgement when not targetted [use meteor]
Earth Golem needs targetted Thor [nothing else kills], plasma/thor kills untargetted
Dreadhounds are scary. Use Boreas to kill Targetted. Otherwise Ground the non-boreas targetted one + Psynergy/Atk + Boreas.
Clay Gargoyles die to judgement, resist Thor...

Hail: Def/Procne/Meteor/Def
[Sleep is 32% but Hail Prism can kill Ivan]

Prior to getting Ground, move Ivan into postion 4 and Mia into position 1 (so that Ground goes to Mia).
Starting in Altmiller, SB all then set Ground (for Dreadhound mobs basically)

Squall: Ground/Judgement/Def/Procne [honestly, squall could be skippable]

Stone puzzle: BGWYR is the order

Death warping to Tolbi is in theory faster... but unlikely to happen without Golem, Clay or Dreadhounds. So I don't think its worth playing around.

	COLOSSO [M:16/I:15/G:14/I:14]

Isaac needs all V, trade same elm djinn to people.

Menu: Granite (V) > Smog, Fever > Flint (I), Quartz (M) > Mist, Ground > Isaac

Azart: [sb all, set Vine] Open with Judgement, Ragnarok + Atk kills. Use Cure if <90 and not killing.
Satrage: [sb all, set granite] Open with Judgement, Ragnarok until dead. Curing when needed.

The djinn that are set for these fights give stats to help bend the fight to your favor. e.g. granite gives agility to pass Satrage's 74 agility. Ground or Quartz could be used instead.

	SUHALLA DESERT

Menu: Fix djinn.
Squall (V) > Granite (I)
Quartz (I) > Mia
Hail (M) > Ground (I)
Flint (I) > Fever (G)

Targetted T4 Summon tends to kill enemies, use summon that the other enemy is weak to for kill. *J* indicates it only dies to J. [J V] indiates it wont die to J or V.

Overworld		Suhalla
Ape: Ma			Magicore: *Me* (target)
Rat: Ma			Stone S: Me [Ma]
Orc: J			Dirge: J [V]
Troll: Ma		Roach: Me (J target) [V Ma]
Bee: J			Harridan: *J*

Douse over R for Storm Lizard, then Reveal over R
Storm Lizard: Ground/Judgement/Def/Tiamat
Flash: Ground/Judgement/Def/Boreas
Trade Flash (I) with Forge (M)

	SUHALLA GATE [17/16/16/16]

Ghost: J
Gnome: J
Golem: *J* (target) [Isaac outspeeds!]
Siren: *V* (target)

Dew: Ground/Judgement/Def/Meteor

Venus 1: Reveal is a great ability

	LALIVERO

Shopping!
Sell stuff that isn't useful anymore, Garet's armor
Mia: Cassock
Isaac: Mirror Shield
Garet: Steel Armor
Ivan: Crown

	TUNNEL RUINS

Mobs will generally take x2 T4s to kill.
Start setting Ground and Flash on Mia. Use ground in Mobs of 2 when one dies to a targetted T4 summon, otherwise use Flash. Weaknesses are as follows:

Chimera Mage: Me [doesn't die]		Gargoyle: V
Manticore: Me						Nightmare: V
Gnome: J							Skeleton: V
Orc: J								Willowisp: V
Gryphon: J [doesn't die]			Rat: Ma

Drain PP on Statue Puzzle prior to Venus 2.

	VENUS 2 [18/17/17/17]

Same fight strategy as tunnel ruins really. Weaknesses as follows:

Chimera Mage: Me [doesn't die]		Gargoyle: V
Manticore: Me						Thunder Lizard: V
Boulder Beast: Me 					Skeleton: V
Golem: J [doesn't die]				Willowisp: V
Gryphon: J [doesn't die]			Rat: Ma
									Spider: Ma


	SATUROS MENARDI FUSION DRAGON [19/19/18/18]

Items: WOLS any psy crystals to Mia
Djinn:
Mia: Forge Fever Corona Scorch Zephyr	[4Ma + Zephyr]
Isaac: Flint Quartz Mist Hail Breeze	[2V 2Me Breeze]
Garet: Vine Ground Fizz Sleet Dew		[2V 3Me]
Ivan: Granite Flash Gust Smog Squall	[Granite Flash 3J]

SB: Flint, Quartz, Vine, all Me except Hail

T1: Zephyr/Judgement/Boreas/Granite
T2: Wish/Hail/Mars/Flash
T3: Wish/Ramses/Ground/Granite

Now strategy is effectively;
Mia: Wish, can use Mars on Flash turns [or Drench]
Isaac: Venus/Ramses/Cybele on Granite turns, use djinn otherwise
Garet: Summon Boreas when possible, use djinn otherwise, can use Mars on Flash turns
Ivan: Granite/Flash alternate

Garet and Isaac will get access to cure poison in Mercury class. Mia will have it natively.

If Isaac gets to 19 then he'll have revive. Dew is good at reviving people. WOL on Mia can be a life saver.

Mia recovers 2pp/turn making wish effectively 7pp, i.e. every 5th wish is free.

Rinse and repeat until things die. Focus one of Saturos/Menardi (probably Mendardi), hopefully no one gets cursed.
