5 Essential Tips for Success in Octopath Traveler
-
Carefully consider unit composition when setting up your party, using tanks up front and glass cannons in the back. Adjust as needed.
-
Complete town deliveries to repair towns and earn rewards. Leave a character to guard liberated towns to passively earn gold and items.
-
Explore the world, uncover secrets, and complete side content before advancing the main story to recruit characters.
-
Pay attention to the combat forecast before battles, and use items or swap units if the outcome seems unfavorable.
-
Use XP boosts from abilities and items liberally to help underleveled units catch up. The game limits XP gains for overleveled units.
