Build up a squad of monsters who synergize well with each other in order to dominate your opponents.
Unlike many roguelikes, new features unlocked in Tales & Tactics rarely ever directly increase power, but rather add new opportunities, mechanics, and options - increasing the run's complexity, without necessarily increasing your power. Beware the tricky Dungeon Tales, where both evil and glory await.. They're always invited back to the Tournament every year, so if you encounter one in your travels, they'll remember how you treat them - and react in kind when you face up against them in the Tournament brackets.
