How to Play

Let's start with the Main Quest!

There are lots of things you can do here at the Cage.
First, the basics. Go straight down the path and proceed with the Main Quest.
Once you have the basics down, you can do so many things!
For example, you can use new characters and all kinds of different features.

Try running quests many times to build up your strength!

As you proceed through the Main Quest, the enemies will keep getting stronger.
When that happens, go on quests so you can get stronger, too.

Don't worry! There are lots of ways to get your stamina back.

Want to increase your total deck force?

Use the best-suited weapons!

Each character has their own proficient weapon. Did you know that?
If you equip a character with their proficient weapon, their stats will increase and you'll be able to attack more often.

Utilize your characters' strengths. It's a simple but very important lesson.

How to Get Various Enhancements

There are actually a few more types of enhancements, but for now, I've put together a list of where you can get them. Be sure to take a look.

In need of gold?

You might need a lot of gold if you want to increase your overall force.

The Beginner's Guide to Battles

Get the advantage with affinities!

There are five affinities in NieR Re[in]carnation.
Affinities have an elemental relationship, and depending on how they match up, damage dealt and damage taken can vary greatly.
Make sure to pay attention to affinities when you load out for quests.

Note: Fighting with an advantageous affinities increases the damage you deal and decreases the damage you receive.

Note: The light and dark affinities increase damage dealt and decrease damage taken while on quests, but will increase damage dealt between both teams in the Arena.

Lock on to enemies!

During battle, you can tap an enemy to lock on to it.
With this, you can focus your attacks on one enemy at a time, so don't hesitate to use it!

Do more damage with skill combos!

During battle, if you use skills in succession, you'll start up a combo.
The bigger the combo, the more damage you'll deal to your enemies!

Keep a good watch on your skills so that you can use them in succession.
The key to winning battles against powerful enemies is to work together with your friends!

Note: Skill combos will be broken when an action other than an ally's skill occurs, such an enemy's normal attack.

Join forces with your companions!

You can find companions by going through the Main Quest. They make wonderful allies!
If you get one, be sure to add it to your deck so it can support you in battle.
Don't forget to use companion skills in battle, too!

- Companion Abilities
Similar to weapon abilities, these are skills that are active throughout the entire battle if a companion is in your deck.

Companion Skills
These are companion-only skills that can be used during battle.

The Intermediate Guide to Battles

Watch Out for Status Ailments

Some enemies' attacks will inflict status ailments like poison or blind.
Take good note of which status ailments your enemies can use and try to outsmart them!

The Power of Memoirs

Memoirs are equipment that can mainly be obtained in dungeons (sub-quest menu).

You can get various effects by equipping memoirs, so don't forget to check when you get them.
Each memoir has its own strength and characteristics. Maybe you'll discover new ways of fighting.

- How to Get Memoirs
They can be obtained as first-time clear rewards for the Main Quest or as dungeon rewards.

- Primary Ability
Memoirs come with one primary ability when you acquire them. The ability's effect increases with each level.

- Secondary Abilities
Memoirs will gain these abilities when they are upgraded, up to four secondary abilities total.

- Set Bonus
Equipping multiple memoirs from the same set will enhance the strength of the memoirs.

- Enhancing Memoirs
You can enhance memoirs with gold.

Well, I think that's about as much advice as I can give you for now.
There's no need to remember everything right away. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, right?
Take as much time as you need.
