Story

Balamb Garden is a military academy where students train day and night hoping to be recrruited as part of the elite mercenary force known as SeeD.

One fateful day, a group of SeeD cadets are sent on a mission as part of their field exam. They are to head for the duchy of Dollet, which is under attack by the powerful military dictatorship of Galbadia.

What will Lasswell and his friends think when they see these young cadets suddenly thrown into the heat of battle?

Tips

• See testimonials and discussions.
• Bonus enemies will appear with higher frequency the higher the stage is.
  • Golden Bomb drops 500 currency on defeat.
  • Wedge drops 1000 currency on defeat.
• You can use Escape to avoid any regular battle, but it isn't recommended as you will lose some currency.
• Using many low level bonus units on LGD is difficult but possible with some gearing.
  • Befriend and/or use a strong friend unit with high bonus.
  • Use two or more bonus units with Pod 153, and they will be able to produce high chain for the strong unit to finish.
  • Use Defensive Freeze, Rikku's Pouch or World Destroyer to break their defenses.
  • Use Crazy Day for imperil if needed.
  • Use Hero's Rime from Siren or Apollo Harp to buff ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR.
  • Elvoret's has 2 ST magic attacks, Fire and Thunder, and 3 AoE magic attacks, Fira, Thundara, Storm Breath (wind).
    • 80% and 50% threshold: Storm Breath, end turn.
• Most of the enemies are Human-type with the exception of Geezard and Anacondaur. Elvoret is a Demon-type. Equip Diabolos or any equipment with Demon Killer effect to your physical units, or use Ramuh with M Demon Killer unlocked for magic units to make quick work with the boss.
