Chapter listMinor spoilers
After the 2-chapter prologue, each of four protagonists has 12 chapters and a separate 6-chapter War story. You can also directly challenge the common 6-stage Salvation story; the first two parts are preparation routes.
For an event, confirm the route, chapter, and in-game date before checking remaining free-action turns.
The same date can fall in different chapter numbers across the four routes. Check paralogue and recruitment conditions using your route’s dates. After finishing one protagonist’s 12 Part 1 chapters, start the next from Chapter 1 to make full use of clear-data inheritance.
Move from the prologue into protagonist routes, then the War and Salvation stories. Schedule paralogues within their route-specific acceptance windows. Before changing parts, check the Paralogue list and Missables checklist.
The three parts and protagonist branches
2 prologue chapters (The White Bird → The Ruined Land)
After the prologue, there are two entries:
Choose a protagonist’s obelisk and follow Part 1 → Part 2 below.
Enter Part 3 through the Future Gate. Neither Part 1 nor Part 2 is an entry requirement, but you have fewer prepared allies, harder battles, and major spoilers.
Part I: four switchable protagonist routes, 12 chapters each
- Cai: Uproar in Ribeira → Just One Wish
- Dietrich: A Stranger Comes to Dagda → Mars, Bringer of War
- Theodora: Theodora, the Iron Bastion → The War of Zanbar
- Leda: The Vengeful Dancer → Revenge's End
↓ Each protagonist continues into their own War story after clearing Part I
Part 2’s War story has 6 chapters (The Battle of Klytius Plains → The Underworld Incarnate). The four protagonists share the main battlefields but save clears separately; you cannot switch protagonists midway. You may skip it. If you are seeing the story for the first time, want both Creek and Nathan, or want manual-play rewards, check the relevant maps’ requirements first. From Chapter 5, consecutive battles and preparation restrictions increase. Do not leave recruitment until the end.
↓ Enter through the Gate to the Future
Part III: Salvation, 6 stages (The Liberation of Dagsion → To the Edge of Twilight): Characters and resources from previous routes converge here. Stage 1 is a battle node. From Stage 2, you gradually re-recruit former companions and begin free time and reconstruction.
The War story has 6 chapters, and each protagonist saves a separate clear record. You can challenge Part 3 directly after the prologue. Clearing all four first prepares characters and exclusive systems; see the checklist before changing parts.
Rewards from playing or skipping the War story
One comparison on Dietrich’s route skipped first, then played manually. Dietrich differed by 1 level and gained 7 total stat points; another companion also differed by 1 level and 10 stat points. Some gaps were larger, but one unit apparently had not been trained in the skipped record, and another’s Advanced class-change status was uncertain. This record supports manual play especially for skills; skipping is reasonable with limited time and no goal of maximum optimization. It cannot establish that every unit loses only 7 points.
Another training method plays the War story manually, then restarts, changes classes, and skips to use Part II's results to patch weaknesses. It mainly suits low-level bench units still benefiting from training; high-level core units gain little. Play the relevant battles manually first if seeing the story or meeting Creek and Nathan prerequisites.
Repeated characters can follow different training goals. Split weapon, class mastery, and stat development across routes. Four identical builds add little new in Part 3; different directions are more likely to offer useful fusion-preview gains. Decide what to train on the current route before advancing to its War story record point. A character already developed on one route need not repeat the same training on the next. Check the missables list before restarting. Fusion stats do not add directly.
Four turns per day and a Sunday reset
For long trips, work backward from the quest deadline to plan travel, then arrange a Sunday return to town.
Weekly activities reset on Sunday, with meals half price that day. Mounts can be fed once daily, so do not wait only for Sunday.
Late-Part-I deadlines:
Quests have individual deadlines, and some expire before Part 1 ends. For example, Gaitz’s prerequisite paralogue is available only on 9/17 on Dietrich’s route; Orchel’s paralogue acceptance window on Cai’s route is only 10/18–10/20. Schedule each quest by its own dates.
Plan Part III's core around the number of teams unlocked. In Stage 3, with all four protagonists' Parts I and II completed, prepare 24 units as three teams of 8. Later, five teams can operate on the same tile. Assign exploration teams and city residents for the current stage, and stock fish and vegetables for reconstruction. You do not need to max everyone in advance.
Plan travel around your route's dates
Free-time turns determine how long you can prepare this chapter. The War story lacks Part I's free exploration. For timed quests, use their own trigger and deadline dates rather than treating an approximate start as an exact trigger.
- 1Find the protagonist’s group.
- 2Check the chapter’s remaining time.
- 3Open the paralogue/side-quest window.
- 4Plan Renown, Support, and material routes last.
For example, Bertrand’s paralogue starts on 9/17, but that is Cai’s Chapter 10, Dietrich’s Chapter 9, and Theodora’s Chapter 11. Do not use another route’s chapter number.
To revisit an event, confirm its route and chapter before choosing what to replay.
