Sword of Phantasia – Tips and Cheats: The Strategy Guide

Sword of Phantasia is a new mobile JRPG for the iPhone and iPad. There’s all kinds of stuff to do in this game. You can go on quests for treasure, fight against raid bosses, manage your equipment with a card collection style of gameplay, and more. Read on for some tips and tricks for Sword of Phantasia!

Your main opportunities to get more equipment (weapons and armor) come in the loot area. You’ll use your silver and golden keys here. The rare equipment that comes from the golden chests is the stuff that you’ll want the most. After you use up all of your keys, go back to your equipment screen and auto-equip both weapons and armor to instantly optimize your equipment.

Once you do that, go and use your excess equipment to power up your current equipment. You have two ways to do that. Go to the upgrade screen and you can either upgrade or refine your equipment. Upgrading your equipment allows you to sacrifice excess equipment to level up the stuff that you’re already wearing. Refining allows you to refine your equipment, increasing the refining level and “evolving” it.

Once you refine equipment, your equipment’s level will go back down to one, yet the stats will still increase. Even better, though, is that once you upgrade your refined equipment again, its level will increase rapidly, just as it did when you first upgraded it. A good balance of upgrading and refining will give you astronomically powerful equipment.

Always pay attention to the current events that are going on. The quest is the way that you advance the story, but the events are your best chance at getting the rarest and most powerful equipment. This equipment will come in handy against both battle bosses and raid bosses.

Battle bosses can be skipped as you see fit, but you won’t want to skip them because of the rewards. The raid bosses can be attacked by up to 20 different players, and raid boss battles provide some of the best rewards in the game. When you start in a raid boss battle, participate as often as possible, as much as your BP will allow you to do.
