Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven | Combat Tips & Tricks

In Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, you’ll spend a good deal of your time fighting enemies in battles, and these battles will scale along with you based on the number of encounters you have. So, while running away is an option, you should generally try and finish your fights. You should also not grind easier encounters since it’ll inadvertently make the strong ones even stronger.

Ambush Tactics

You should regularly try to go behind the enemies you encounter to get out as many attacks as possible, letting you get a free, effective turn before combat. These surprise attacks are ideal and useful for quickly dealing with encounters. You can also draw their aggro and lure them a good way out, and they will eventually give up and give you ample opportunity to attack them while they’re running back to their spot.

Go Around Em

Another way to win a fight is by completely avoiding them, which isn’t exactly a Combat Tip but is a great lesson to follow. You should do the same as before, where you draw the aggro of the enemy and move in circles until you find them or are able to clear the path you want to go through. You’ll break aggro if you get too far, but that probably won’t always be possible, so another great way to ‘deaggro’ the enemy is by going onto ladders and climbable things.

Have a Wide Range

It’s generally a good idea to have a wide range of weapons and spells that you use during combat, as each of these has a different scale that levels them up. So, instead of leveling one of them up massively, you should spread things out and use a variety of weapons. The effects are twofold; firstly, you’ll not hit a massive roadblock when, eventually, a certain enemy is just good at surviving your over-leveled weapon. The other effect is that these are going to effectively reveal most of the enemy's weaknesses, letting you use the perfect tool for every enemy.

United Attacks

United Attacks are powerful moves that need a gauge to be fulfilled and used. Similar to Fallout’s V.A.T.S., you might be inclined to save them, but just like in Fallout, there’s really no point. You should use them as much as you can as they’re really easy to regain. Furthermore, you’ll get a TP every time you end a battle with a United Attack.
