CHARACTERS In standand kit, there are 8 characters for you to play. After beating story mode, you will get more 5 scenario characters, 2 mini games, and expert mode. After beating expert mode, you get the spiritualist with glasses. Winning a 3 stars-opponent in Reversi, you get Dark spiritualist. Getting over 360 marks in shooting mini game, you get the female ninja, the mentor lady in story mode. In power up kit, there are 8 characters in story mode and 16 extra characters in free mode. Most of them exist in standard kit but there are 8 new faces. You can unlock 2 more characters if you able to beat tournament mode (without Redo/Undo). One of them is our old friend, Deruna, the sorceress in VMO. The other is the war god. Unlike VMO, each characters in VMJ have their own custom spell(s). Together with 8 standard spells, each master could have at most 11 spells. The custom spells are usually the update version of standard spells. Some custom spells are unique and powerful enough to turn the tables. In VMO, for master fighting violently at the front line is definitely not a good idea. But in VMJ, master with their shocking attack spell, usually fight better than the natials. Suppose you choose a master who has excellent combat skills, you always hide him in order to avoid being killed. I would tell you it is certainly a terrible waste. Always having something for master to do, don't waste any turns. Otherwise, you lose comparatively in the long run. Maximum level in VMJ is 50 (40 in VMO). Maximum values for each ability is 26 (20 in VMJ with one exception - magic defense of Nightmare). A level 25 summoner in VMJ is approximately the same level summoner in VMO. The statistics for natials in VMJ is slightly larger than that in VMO. Standard level in VMJ is 30, and it is 25 in VMO. The grade marked on attack or magic are OA time factor. See calculation guide for details. A better grade corresponds to a faster action. 8 main characters are following Swordsman (Momosuke) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (7) 16 [24] defense (8) 18 [26] magic power (4) 10 [15] magic defense (6) 15 [22] agility (8) 14 [22] move (4) 4 [4] attack : Pomegranate (Adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Thunder Boom (Kiraihou) move type : walk (swim) comment : A traveling swordsman. His blade has its own mind and very talkative. The name of blade should be Pomegranate (not by pronunciation), a name of plant. Although he is a little libidinous, he has really a strong sense of justice. In the game, he is a very strong melee fighter (not the strongest). His defensive power is high, giving him more chance to cast his custom spell. He is a bomber type like Lobster king. I like him. Shinto spiritualist (Himika) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (2) 6 [9 ] defense (1) 5 [7 ] magic power (6) 15 [22] magic defense (6) 15 [22] agility (7) 13 [21] move (3) 3 [3] attack : twirling fan (Adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Octopus Vampire (Suidashinyuudou), Comma-shaped bead (Magatsudama), Wolf Elf with 9 Tails (Kyuubi) move type : walk (swim) comment : One of the best sorceress in great Shinto temple. Looks very cool, emotionless and has iron-willed at heart. She always dances lonely at midnight. As she is the only magician type character in story mode, she has pretty high magic power and a very destructive spell - seamless jewel. Her attack spell together with her magic power is enough to tear apart multiple number of enemies in one shot. She is a walk type, her move distance is only 3 and her agility is not so high. Meaning that she is not a good magic stone grabber. Don't expect so much on her, there are still many excellent magicians in this game. Foreigner (Lorenz or Rorenso) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (3) 8 [12] defense (5) 12 [18] magic power (5) 12 [18] magic defense (5) 13 [19] agility (7) 13 [21] move (4) 4 [4] attack : epee thrust (Adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Hyper Yama Ram (Ura Emma), Magical Hen with 3 Legs (Roppouvinejar) move type : walk (swim) comment : A foreigner with both Japanese and foreign paternity. Travels to the Far East as an envoy. What he see in Japan is very different from what he had imagined. Finally, he decised to save this land. A first glance over his stats, he is not too bad. Magic power is reasonably high, and his defensive power is quite high. Not to mention that he has the strongest attack spell and aura type healing spell. His physical attack may be very low, but who needs physical attack if the great devil always fights on your side. Be fair, he is not so fast. Maybe he is easier to finish story mode. Marine hunter (Shuren) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (5) 13 [19] defense (4) 10 [15] magic power (3) 9 [13] magic defense (4) 10 [15] agility (9) 15 [23] move (6) 6 [6] attack : throwing spear (large projectile range 4, class B) custom spell(s) : Thunder Boom (Kiraihou) move type : walk + swim comment : She and her horde live near water. She is a shy girl since her horde are rarely communicated with outsiders. After the assaults of "Falling Stars", she senses something unusual in nature. She knows there will be a upcoming calamity. She went to Japan to seek for solution. As a fisher, she adepts at swimming. Her move distance is not reduced even in water. Her move is 6 (the highest value for summoners) and her agility is above average. As a result, She is almost the best magic stone hunter in this game. She can fire a spear. Yes, range attack but not very strong. She knows Thunder Boom, but she does not use it very well. Without high defensive power and magic power, this spell does not match her. Ninja master (Rokurou) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (5) 12 [18] defense (6) 14 [21] magic power (3) 7 [10] magic defense (5) 12 [18] agility (11) 17 [25] move (5) 5 [5] attack : Comet Shuriken (small projectile range 4, class A) custom spell(s) : Devil of Plague (Shouki) move type : walk + swim comment : A well trained ninja. He has a complex background. We do not know too much about his past. For the name of ninja, his mobility is really high. No one can match his quickness in this game. He somersets instead of walk so he moves fast in water. As a ranger, he fights better than Shuren. The ninja know a murdering spell - Devil of Plague, 100% guarantee to kill their enemies. In fact, there are some ways to cure. At last, there are 3 ninja in this game. I still think he is the best one. But be careful that his magic power is the lowerest in this game. Princess (Kikuka) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (4) 10 [15] defense (4) 11 [16] magic power (4) 11 [16] magic defense (4) 10 [15] agility (8) 14 [22] move (4) 4 [4] attack : double cut (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Wolf Elf with 9 Tails (Kyuubi), Fighting Princess (Ikusahime) move type : walk (swim) comment : She is not actually a princess but the daughter of a landlord, a self-willed but lovely girl. If you think she is bad after looking at her statistics. I can tell you that you are definitely wrong. She knows a unique spell named Fighting Princess, which can boost up all stats for all friendly units. It costs only 64 MP. Maybe, she should be the best summoner in this game. Sinful monk (Takuwan) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (8) 19 [26] defense (7) 16 [24] magic power (3) 8 [12] magic defense (5) 12 [18] agility (10) 16 [24] move (4) 4 [4] attack : throwing Buddha (large projectile range 6, class C) custom spell(s) : none move type : walk (swim) comment : He is a informal monk, has many ill-advised actions. He has been a prisoner but he already escaped from the jail. He is not actually a bad guy but a sufferer of "Falling Stars". In the game, he has most powerful physical attack. (AT 26 at LV 50 + range 6 Large projectile) Majority of middle class natials facing him may receive "star hit". He is the analogue of Savage in VMO. Buddhist monk (Satsuha) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (1) 4 [6 ] defense (5) 12 [18] magic power (5) 13 [19] magic defense (5) 13 [19] agility (6) 12 [20] move (3) 3 [3] attack : fist (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Brother gods of Wind and Thunder (Arahatata), Spell Shackle (Fuujiiwa), Palm of Buddha move type : fly + swim comment : He is a Chinese immigrant and monk. His hobby is to treasure up magic tools. There is a rare beast followed him. I think it should be the same kind of ChewChew in VMO. My RPG experience tell me that he is a priest (not even existed in world of VMO). The priest in most RPG games has healing spell plus magic dispel spell. They have moderate defensive power and they are usually very slow. He certainly suits well. I don't know whether a priest type summoner is useful or not in world of VM. Maybe he can help you to protect high level natials. Last but not least, he can fly. The following characters are only available in free mode. Overlord (Gamon) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (7) 17 [25] defense (8) 19 [26] magic power (3) 9 [13] magic defense (7) 16 [24] agility (8) 14 [22] move (4) 4 [4] attack : rifle gun (straight line range 7, class B) custom spell(s) : none move type : walk (swim) comment : He is a overlord under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, but he does not pay real royalty to shogunate. A man full of ambition. He wish to create a good empire in Japan, so he want to own the power of "Falling Stars". As an enemy summoner, his power is really high. He is undoubtedly a top class ranger in this game. His magic power may be his only weakness. However, I am afraid he doesn't need magic at all. Psychic (Miroku) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (1) 5 [7 ] defense (2) 7 [10] magic power (7) 16 [24] magic defense (8) 18 [26] agility (6) 12 [20] move (2) 2 [2] attack : Evil spirit attack (occur range 4, class C) custom spell(s) : Octopus Vampire (Suidashinyuudou), Golden Madness (Midarekogane) move type : fly + swim special ability : recovery comment : The highness in great Shinto temple, the teacher of Himika. She is a fortune teller and also a farseer. You may think she must be so serious but actually, she is very humorous. Her attack type is Occur, meaning that there is no way to block her attack. That is, damages does not depend on facing direction of enemy. Unfortunately, her attack power is so weak to make it useful. Her magic power and defense are highest among all summoners, really a magic talent. But be careful that her move is only 2. At last, if you are careful enough, you may discover that she can recover herself. Taoist wizard (Shadai) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (1) 5 [7 ] defense (3) 9 [13] magic power (5) 12 [18] magic defense (4) 10 [15] agility (7) 13 [21] move (4) 4 [4] attack : talisman (small projectile range 3, class B) custom spell(s) : Brother Gods of Wind and Thunder (Arahatata), Octopus Vampire (Suidashinyuudou), Palm of Buddha move type : fly + swim comment : Dark side summoner, a helper kid for the dark spiritualist. In scenario mode, he has summoned three fire serpents to plot against your character. Almost each race against him in scenario mode are really hard battles. To investage the reasons, main advantage over him is his flying ability plus his move distance 4. However, his abilities are below average. As a priest type summoner, He is not as good as Satsuha. Sentinel (Isami) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (9) 20 [26] defense (8) 18 [26] magic power (3) 8 [12] magic defense (7) 17 [25] agility (9) 15 [23] move (5) 5 [5] attack : Samurai blade (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Hyper Yama Ram (Ura Emma) move type : walk (swim) comment : A sentinel serving in the other great temple in Japan (may be a different religion). She acts always before she thinks, a troublemaker in game. In scenario mode, you have many chances to taste her blade. She is definitely the best fighter in this game (analog to the knight in VMO). Personally, I think she is even better than the knight in VMO. Because she has high mobility and speed but the knight haven't. She knows a great spell - Hyper Yama Ram. Unfortunately, her magic power does not make it useful. Missioner (Mary Lu) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (5) 13 [19] defense (3) 9 [13] magic power (6) 14 [21] magic defense (5) 12 [18] agility (7) 13 [21] move (3) 3 [3] attack : Morning Star (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Palm of Buddha, God Blessing move type : walk (swim) comment : A lovely western girl who has actually some evil plans in mind. You have to fight her in scenario mode. The battle shouldn't be too tough because she is quite slow. She has a unique spell - God Blessing, which can heal 4 HP for all friendly units. As a priest type summoner, her stats are highest. So I think she is the best priest in this game. As a defender, lack of mobility is a problem which can still be overcomed. Ninja heroine (Kiri) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (5) 13 [19] defense (5) 12 [18] magic power (4) 10 [15] magic defense (4) 10 [15] agility (9) 15 [23] move (5) 5 [5] attack : flying low kick (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Magical Hen with 3 Legs (Roppouvinejar), Devil of Plague (Shouki) move type : walk + swim comment : A female ninja trained by shogunate. She is tourist guide of your character in story mode. Although she looks amicable, she seems hiding something to your character. In the game, she is a second ninja. She is also a well trained ninja like Rokurou, can move in water freely. Her stats tends to be worse than that of Rokurou except the magic power. The point is that she does not have a range attack like Rokurou. However, as a magic stone hunter, her magic power is quite high. It should be a good compensation for her. Dark spiritualist (Muu) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (2) 7 [10] defense (3) 8 [12] magic power (6) 14 [21] magic defense (4) 11 [16] agility (6) 12 [20] move (4) 4 [4] attack : harsh language (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Brother Gods of Wind and Thunder (Arahatata), Falling Star (Kiboshi), Wolf Elf with 9 Tails (Kyuubi) move type : walk (swim) special ability : recovery comment : Another student of the psychic. She is the only spiritualist who knows how to unleash the power of "Falling Stars". In scenario mode, she is the final boss. Comparing to Himika, her unique attack spell - Falling Star doesn't so useful. It is not as strong as Hyper Yama Ram and it is only a straight line type attack spell. However, she has a move distance of 4 and she has HP recovery ability. As a magician, she may be better than Himika but still not the best. Spiritualist with glasses (Hazuki) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (3) 8 [12] defense (2) 6 [9 ] magic power (4) 11 [16] magic defense (2) 7 [10] agility (8) 14 [22] move (6) 6 [6] attack : talisman (straight line range 3 - magic banning but no attack effect, class B) custom spell(s) : Magical Hen with 3 Legs (Roppouvinejar), Wolf Elf with 9 Tails (Kyuubi) move type : walk (swim) comment : The spiritualist who serves an old man in the other great temple in Japan. She is a childlike girl. She will be the mentor after the female ninja disappeared. She is also the hostess in expert mode. Her defensive ability is shameful and her magic power is not so high either. Nevertheless, she is the others who can move 6. She do not know how to fight but she can ban enemies 's magic in normal attack. Note that the effective time depends on her normal attack not her magic power. To be honest, if I really want to play with magic banning, I perfer choosing Satsuha to her. The following are power up kit characters Huntress (Matsuri) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (5) 13 [19] defense (4) 10 [15] magic power (4) 11 [16] magic defense (3) 9 [13] agility (8) 14 [22] move (5) 5 [5] attack : bow and arrow (medium projectile range 6, class C) custom spell(s) : Painful Honeycomb (Hachiyose) move type : walk (swim) comment : In order to chase a bear, she enters the tournament playground. She think it is a good chance to test her hunting skills. Unlike the monk and the overland, she is a well balanced archer. She has an unique spell - Painful Honeycomb, casting only 8 MP for a long range magical attack. The analogue of her in VMO is Granas, the ranger. She is not poor at all, but other rangers in this game are too strong. Solitary (Suketsuna) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (1) 4 [6 ] defense (3) 8 [12] magic power (7) 16 [24] magic defense (3) 9 [13] agility (7) 13 [21] move (3) 3 [3] attack : Gold Medal (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Shining Birdcage (Shakuri Box), Golden Madness (Midarekogane) move type : walk (swim) comment : He has been a overload long time ago and he retired. Now, he is a solitary. He would like to have a grand tour. Kikuka is his granddaughter. He and the psychic are both top class magicians in this game. He does not have a high magic defense but he has 1 more move comparing to the witch. Both of them know Golden Madness which ables to turn multiple number of enemies into gold. He has a unique spell called Shining Birdcage which can lower the statistic for multiple number of enemies. You will regret for underestimating him. Sumo fighter (Raika) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (9) 21 [26] defense (7) 16 [24] magic power (3) 9 [13] magic defense (7) 16 [24] agility (10) 16 [24] move (3) 3 [3] attack : Sumo slap (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Thunder Boom (Kiraihou), Magical Hen with 3 Legs (Roppouvinejar) move type : walk (swim) comment : He has been driven out by his companions since he begined to grow a horn. He enters the tournament playground in order to prove his strength. However, foods and friendships are even important to him. He is the third excellent melee fighter in this game. His agility is amusingly high. Even he is not fast enough to grab magic stone, he can quickly send his slaves to do it for him. He has Thunder Boom as well. If you don't feel confident, don't rush to him. He is not as good as Momosuke, but still very strong. Ninja chemist (Chizuru) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (2) 6 [9 ] defense (4) 11 [16] magic power (3) 8 [12] magic defense (4) 10 [15] agility (10) 16 [24] move (6) 6 [6] attack : poisonous liquid (straight line range 5 + poisoning, class B) custom spell(s) : Wolf Elf with 9 Tails (Kyuubi) move type : walk (swim) comment : A female ninja dreaming to have an oversea trade company to sell magic tools for summoning. Perhaps she is not trained for a long time, she looks a little fat. As a ninja, she cannot somerset, so restricted her move in water. However, she is still very fast. She adepts at toxicology and her attack carries basic damages plus poisoning effect. Her attack range is quite long to be comparable with other rangers. Demon Lord (Daruku Fakuto) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (6) 15 [22] defense (3) 9 [13] magic power (4) 10 [15] magic defense (5) 13 [19] agility (8) 14 [22] move (5) 5 [5] attack : Energetic Punch (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Brother Gods of Wind and Thunder (Arahatata), Death Zone (World of Obudedis), Enhanced Ghost Flame (Too Onibi) move type : fly + swim comment : The evil priest in YS eternal 1. While Adol is gone, no one can even match him. If you want a easy win in tournament mode, choose him. There are so many advantages on him. Firstly, he flys and he has move distance 5. He grabs magic stone faster than most characters. There is also no ways to chase him if he is running out of HP. (Cannot block his way) Secondly, he has 2 wonderful magic. Death Zone is the strongest large-scale attack spell which has effective range of 6 and magic gain bonus of 4. Enhanced Ghost Flame is a long range support spell which does not require you a lot of MP to cast. Not to mention that it has a larger magic gain bonus than that of Ghost Flame and it can be targeted himself. Thirdly, he can fight because of his high attack and his not so bad defense. In my opinion, he outbalances the other summoners. Queen (Dora) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (4) 11 [16] defense (3) 8 [12] magic power (6) 14 [21] magic defense (3) 9 [13] agility (7) 13 [21] move (4) 4 [4] attack : side kick (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Hyper Yama Ram (Ura Emma), Booby trap move type : walk + swim comment : A famous character in Brandish series. The last version should be Brandish 3. It was still using 16 colors in display. So you can expect that it is a pretty old. It is for sale only in Japanese. Maybe, you don't have a chance to taste it. Now, the queen comes back. She is an attack type magician. She has 2 attack spell and her attack is 16 at level 50. Booby Trap costs only 1 MP. I treat it as a special attack. Hyper Yama Ram becomes very terrible on her hands because of her high magic power. Perhaps she wears too less, her defensive power is always very bad (Both VMO and VMJ). I don't know the reason why she can move so fast in water. Villager (Lilia) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (2) 6 [9 ] defense (1) 4 [6 ] magic power (5) 12 [18] magic defense (1) 5 [7 ] agility (8) 14 [22] move (5) 5 [5] attack : grapple (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Statue of Goddess, God Blessing move type : walk (swim) special ability : recovery comment : A poor girl in YS eternal 1 falling in love to Adol. In love with a adventurer is certainly a bad idea. Again, where is Adol? In this game, she is in between a priest and a magic stone hunter. She cannot withstand any attacks owing to her poorest defensive powers. Statue of Goddess is a unique spell for her. She can heal herself if she get hurt. Even you don't want to waste her turn in healing, she can recover herself turn by turn. Try to use her if you want more challenges. Sorceress (Pyrrha) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (5) 13 [19] defense (3) 8 [12] magic power (5) 13 [19] magic defense (2) 6 [9 ] agility (8) 14 [22] move (4) 4 [4] attack : Go! Go! (Her pet's name) (adjacent, class A) custom spell(s) : Octopus Vampire (Suidashinyuudou), Hyper Yama Ram (Ura Emma) move type : walk + swim comment : A main character in Legends of Heroes series. Behind her is another rare beast. I haven't played this game yet, I don't know the names of the sorceress and her pet. She is a attack type magician like Dora. She swims well like Dora. She knows Hyper Yama Ram like Dora. Her defensive power is limited like Dora. May be there are some relations between them. War God (???) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (6) 14 [21] defense (5) 13 [19] magic power (4) 10 [15] magic defense (3) 9 [13] agility (9) 15 [23] move (4) 4 [4] attack : Samurai blade (adjacent attack + life stealing, class A) custom spell(s) : Brother Gods of wind and Thunder (Arahatata), Improved Octopus Vampire (Too Suidashi), Devil of Plague (Shouki) move type : walk (swim) comment : A ghosty Samurai, a boss in tournament mode. In honour of his name, his fighting ability is really high. He beats and recovers at the same time. He is quite fast and has certain amount of magic power. He adepts at life stealing skills. Improved Octopus Vampire is a ranged life stealing spell only for him. He knows how to poison as well. In my opinion, he outbalances the others to a certain extend. Of course, he is secret character. Elfin sorceress (Murasaki or Deruna) level (1) 30 [50] max MP (40) 160 [308] attack (3) 8 [12] defense (3) 8 [12] magic power (6) 15 [22] magic defense (3) 9 [13] agility (6) 12 [20] move (4) 4 [4] attack : charm (straight line range 3 - charm but no attack effect, class B) custom spell(s) : Hyper Yama Ram (Ura Emma), Palm of Buddha, Enhanced Ghost Flame (Too Onibi) move type : walk (swim) comment : The ultimate summoner in VMJ (In VMO, the ultimate summoner is the half-beast). Although she doesn't have a highest magic power, I am still counting her as the best magician. She knows so many different magic including healing, supporting, attacking and charming. All of them are at top grade. Her charming attack is a range attack and does not spell any MP. The drawback is the effectiveness of spell depends on her attack not her magic power. What a pity! She is winning in magic power. I believed that she will be the best summoner if she is faster. That is the end of character 's introduction. Now I would like to share some of my experiences on how to choose a character to play with. It is particularly useful on network game. Consider a fair game - (symmetrical map, same level, no handicaps on abilities). For LV < 20, magician type summoners, magic stone hunter have advantages. At such level, no summoners are able to fight against Natials, even middle class natials. As a result, number of natials summoned determines between defeat and victory. As a general tactic, who gets more magic stones, who is winner. If the magic power is high, MP recovery rate will be larger. Both situations are effectively the same. This rule holds in VMO as well. For LV > 40, fighter type summoners win out. If you are careful enough, you may find that there are several fighters having both their defensive powers over 24. I can tell you they are really high statistics. With such defensive skills, most natials cannot take more than 1 damage. The effective time for freezing, downgrading, magic binning is no more than 60 mins. So natials are virtually useless against the summoners. Even you choose a master winning in foot race, your movement is still highly restricted. Because you dare not approaching your enemies - the fighters who able to kill one natial per turn. There are some abilities or magics which effects do not depend on level (e.g poison, healing). The characters having more level independent skill win out at low level (e.g priests, ninja). In contrast, for characters having more level dependent skill win out at high level (e.g magicians) At last, all characters are generally balanced around LV 30. Choosing you character according to the chosen map is another point. In a forest, flyers have advantages. On a mountain hill, archers and flyers have advantages. In a lake, ninja and swimmers have advantages. In a labyrinth, rangers and flyers do not have their advantages. In contrast, priests win out. In a large map, magicians win out because it contains more magic stones. That will be a battle between natials and natials. In a small map, fighters win out because number of magic stones are limited. That will be a battle between summoner and summoner. Of course, it is only a reference for those who are new to Vantage Master. If you are a real master, I believe you can beat your computer with 10-20 level difference over you no matter which characters and which map are chosen. To be honest, it is far too difficult for me to do this. APPENDIX - MAGIC AND SPELL In general, attack spells cannot be casted on friendly units; cure spells cannot be casted on enemy units.
