Introduction
Welcome to DotGG's Game Introduction and Beginners Tips for Sword of Convallaria. If you're new here, I would like to give a quick intro about the game: Sword of Convallaria is a tactical RPG that blends classic turn-based strategy with modern visuals and engaging storytelling.
The game offers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of beloved titles like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, featuring strategic battles on elevated maps, diverse character abilities, and impactful choices that shape the world.
With its unique NeoPixel art style, the game delivers a visually stunning experience while immersing players in the conflict-ridden land of Iria. As players lead the mercenary company, Sword of Convallaria, they'll make crucial decisions that determine the game's outcome from multiple endings (in the "Spiral of Destiny" mode).
Introducing Kingdom of Iria
The world of Sword of Convallaria is set in the land of Iria, known for its mysterious and rich history.
The Rise and Fall of Ancient Iria
Ancient Iria was a utopia of peace, prosperity, and wisdom, untouched by war or hunger. However, this golden age ended when the realm was conquered and enslaved by a powerful empire, leaving behind only memories of its splendor.
Centuries of Struggles
Iria's history is marked by endless wars and oppression under various conquerors. Despite the discovery of a mystical crystal ore with sacred energy, Iria's future remained uncertain. The land became a battleground for mercenary groups driven by diverse motivations, from justice and power to a desperate hope for lasting peace.
Beginners Tips #01: Post-Tutorial Gameplay
After completing the tutorial and initial summons, players embark on the main storyline, "Fool's Journey." The game mandates clearing prologue 0-1 before granting full gameplay access. Focusing on the main storyline is recommended as it's the primary content. Upon finishing the prologue, the "spiral of destiny" mode unlocks, offering a roguelike experience with time-traveling elements. However, it's advisable to prioritize the main storyline and explore the spiral later.
Progressing to stage 1-5 unlocks the furniture system, enhancing character intimacy. Players must place characters on specific furniture slots to increase intimacy, which in turn boosts character attributes. Prioritize intimacy for main party members. Additionally, don't overlook the friend system, allowing daily reputation point acquisition for rewards.
Beginners Tips #02: Stamina Management
Stamina Generation and Consumption
Stamina regenerates at a rate of one point every four minutes, totaling 360 points daily. Combined with the 120 points from daily check-in, players have a substantial 480 stamina points at their disposal.
Daily Resource Farming
Several maps offer daily resources, each with a one-time bonus drop. Prioritize these initial runs for optimal rewards. Subsequent runs yield lower rewards but are still valuable.
- Tarot Emblem (40 stamina): Focus on clearing the final or second-to-last map for maximum rewards.
- Gear Boss (40 stamina): Similar to Tarot Emblem, prioritize the final map for the best rewards.
- Character Shards (40 stamina): Farm daily for consistent character progression.
- Character EXP (20 stamina): Prioritize the daily bonus for efficient leveling.
- Character Ascension Stones (20 stamina): The game provides sufficient stones without excessive farming.
- Star Stones (40 stamina): Focus on the daily bonus and avoid excessive farming due to slow upgrade progression.
- Gear Dust and Stones (30 stamina): This is a high-priority resource. Prioritize farming for gear upgrades.
Campaign Stages and Stamina Efficiency
While campaign stages consume 30 stamina each, they can be replayed without additional cost after initial clearance. This allows players to strategize and optimize their runs effectively.
Beginners Tips #03: Don't Look Down at Non-Legendary Characters
Even non-Legendary characters shouldn't be overlooked. They can excel in particular roles and, when used strategically, can assist in overcoming challenging game content.
| Character | Tips |
|---|---|
 | Has the strongest single-target damage, ignoring 40% magic defense and providing a basic Kingdom of Iria (Leadership Aura) buff at Rank-7. |
 | Offers solid single-target and ranged damage, primarily used for its movement buff abilities. |
 | A magic dealer who also acts as a healer, with long-range skills as a key strength. |
 | Has low damage but is strategically useful for its ice terrain creation and knockback skills. |
 | A debuffer and ranged dealer, well-reviewed in the Taiwanese community, and recommended for mid-to-late game use rather than early game. |
