  • The three screens show an enemy, stats, and held objects.
  • You have 3 held weapons, and 5 held items.
  • Begin by using all potions to boost stats.
  • Avoid the cheat codes! They softlock the game.
  • Next, use any held items which will help you in battle. Only items in the table below which have all conditions met will help you.
  • Finally, for each weapon, compute the damage it’ll deal. This is your relevant attack stat (STR, DEX, or INT) plus the weapon bonus, minus the enemy’s relevant defense stat. Use the weapon that deals the most damage.
