General tips:
- You can do instant jump reset (land immediately from air) by holding X and down.
- You can recover from mid air knockdown by pressing R1 or X. It will however remove all i-frames from the falling animation.
- Evasion (R1) when timed correctly, has i-frames. I find at least 1 level of the evasion skill critical for all classes except the 2 magic users.
- Hotkey your healing item as soon as you can by highlighting it in your equipment menu and then pressing the direction pad.
- You can jump and use evasion into the background or foreground. This is especially useful for evading full screen length horizontal attacks.
- Get one level of wealth to health and nutritionist as soon as possible, this will be your main healing tool during dungeons.
- Slide to kill small critters quickly.
- Skeletons get launched easily with slides, zombies with anti air (up + square) and soldiers with dash attack.
- Dash attack can be cancelled into a slide. A slide can be cancelled into a standing attack.
Amazon:
- Abuse moves that give i-frames, like parry and brandish.
- She's weak but fast without her weapon, so use the power smash sparingly or when the TTF rune is available.
- She's got the best staying-in-air capability, her anti-air launcher (up + square) doesn't count as a jump, so you can actually spend a lot of time floating in mid air.
Sorceress:
- If you're playing solo, consider skipping the status spells, they're not very useful.
- Also the skeleton revival skill requires a lot of points before it becomes decent.
- Her moveset is identical to the wizard, they both have 3 elemental staff types. Most natural and undead enemies are weak to fire, dragons are weak to ice, and soldiers are weak to lightning.
- The ice and fire staff have identical moves but with different properties, the lightning staff has a different moveset and uses more mana.
- Get levitate early, it boosts magic damage from air by 30%
Elf:
- Always end every combo with some sort of bow attack.
- Her melee will suck for quite a long time, so just go for short combos that end with an arrow shot. Her dash attack is a very quick launcher.
- Her dash bow attack can be done by pressing forward, holding circle, then releasing circle.
- She has the best recovery time from moves, so abuse evasion to find a safe spot to shoot from.
Dwarf:
- Abuse throws and power smash. He's invincible throughout the entire power smash animation. Throws are not particular useful against bosses though. Great for everything else.
- Flying enemies can be easily caught using his mid air grab (jump, up + square).
