  8.  
  9. Run Buffer: A run buffer occurs when you purposely try to run in a battle you can't escape from. When you do this, a message pops up that says "Can't Run"... this message temporarily stops the ATB of the characters and enemies and can allow you to execute an attack sooner than you otherwise would have been able. This takes practice.
  10.  
  11. Inventory Management: During down times in battle, you want to move extraneous items and equipment to the bottom of your inventory. You can move items in the menu during enemy attack animations, during character attack animations, during battle cutscenes, etc. The ideal scenario is to never do this when character ATB should be charging.

  214. --------------------------
  215. From this point forward, you will want to have Kain at level 18 or 19 by the time you get to the Valvalis boss fight later in the run. The level 19 strat is overall faster, but the level 18 strat might feel more manageable if you are learning. To get to level 19, you will need to Kill off yang/cecil (probably better to pick yang) for three of the four next boss fights. These boss fights are Baigan, Kainazzo, Dark Elf, and Magus Sisters. In addition, you can kill off yang for Flamedog fight in Tower of Zot to give yourself a boost in exp.
