Beginner tips for Chapter 1

These are safe demo-start tips, not final-game tier or build rankings.

01Treat Chapter 1 as your setup fileExplore enough to learn party roles, then keep the save for launch instead of rushing past tutorial systems.
02Practice Stagger earlyWeakness pressure and bonus actions explain most of the combat loop before advanced builds matter.
03Check Visions as equipmentUse the demo to learn how Vision abilities change a character's role, then compare records in the full Visions list.
04Track limits carefullyThe demo is useful for learning limits and Resonance timing, even before late-game values are known.
