Which Skill Hits Harder?
Step 1

Which Skill Hits Harder?

See the number on the bottom right of a skill? That's its raw power. A higher number usually means a harder hit, but final damage depends on several factors. Always look at the big picture before you strike!

Wait, a Powerless Skill?

Some skills have zero power and deal no direct damage, but they pack game-changing effects. Use them strategically to completely turn the tide of a battle!

Bad Matchup?!

Bad Matchup?!

Every Jini has its own specialty. If you're backed into a corner, try switching out! Just remember that changing Jinies ends your turn, so time it carefully.

Healing Potion charges are limited, but a little alchemy can fix that right up!

Turn that intel into a winning strategy!

7Good to know

Exhausted in Combat
Exhausted in Combat

If a Jini runs out of mana in combat, it becomes Exhausted and retreats to its Buddy Pod. Mages will then step in, channeling their own Vitality to shield their partners from harm.

Healing Potion
Healing Potion

Need energy mid-combat? Open your Inventory and use a Healing Potion. Carry more by using Upgrade Magic at an Alchemy Cauldron!

Enemy Moves
Enemy Moves

Each action taken in combat counts as one "turn." However, hesitation is dangerous against Jini Blossoms or Legendary Jinies—if you idle for too long, they will simply turn their attacks on your other Rocos.
