The MMORPG has turned into a death game, and your aim is to find out why it turned killer, and how to stop it. You can collect characters from the SAO series, as well as Col, memory diamonds, and other goodies as you go. Read on for some tips and tricks for Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag!

Battling is fairly simple at its core, but there are plenty of battle techniques that you can use to give yourself an advantage. Press and hold on the screen to guard against an attack, or swipe up to parry an attack, which, if successful, will leave the enemy open to a strong combo. Watch for the enemy’s eyes to flash; that’s your cue to parry because that means they are about to launch an attack.

Use the Scout option to find new characters that you can add to your party. You can add up to three characters at a time. Generally, the rarest character (in terms of star rating) will be the one that’s the most powerful. You can switch characters at any point in the battle, and in especially tough battles, you’re going to need to in order to avoid dying and losing the battle.

Add the rarest characters to your party even if they are at a lower experience level. You can go back through older battles at any point in order to gain experience for your new characters. Keep an eye on the party cost, though, because the rarer the character, the higher the party cost, and if the party cost is too high, you either won’t be able to add a character, or you will but you won’t be able to have all three party members at the same time. Your max party cost will increase each time that your player level increases.

Each character has special attacks that can be used on a limited bases, as they cost MP to use. When you land a standard attack, your MP meter will increase again. Save your sword skill for the boss fight, if possible, except on longer battles that consist of two or three legs before the boss battle. Then use them earlier so that you can save up MP for the boss again. And be sure to aim properly so that you hit the boss because if you miss, that’s a waste of a sword skill.

Use your stash of shards to unlock increase attributes for your favorite characters. If you have enough shards to unlock an attribute but it’s still grayed out, then that means it’s not unlocked until you gain more experience levels. If you hit the maximum level for your character, then unlock the max level boost. You’ll be able to pick a limit break for either attack, HP, or MP when you do this as well.
