Game Guide:

The character growth system in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days relies on the "panel system," which is the core mechanism that affects character abilities, skills, levels, and equipment. Here are some usage suggestions:

1. Use Level Panels in conjunction with Expansion Panels

The character's base level cannot be increased through battles, but is achieved by a combination of "Level Panel" + "Expansion Panel". For example, equipping a "Level +3" panel will give you an additional 3 levels on your base level. Reasonable allocation of slots and expansions is the key to getting stronger quickly.

2. Prioritize equipping practical skills with Skill Panels

Frequently used skills like "Cura (Healing)", "Fire (Fire)", "Aero (Protection)" can be equipped multiple times, and use "Skill Linkers" to increase power or reduce cooldown time. Combat styles can be switched flexibly according to mission requirements.

3. Equipping gear affects weapon appearance and attack methods

Different "Gear Panels" can change the weapon form, such as enhancing combo-type, critical-type, or heavy-hit-type attack methods. It is recommended to choose the corresponding gear according to the enemy's attributes, for example, use heavy-hit type attacks more effectively when facing high-defense enemies.

4. Use the synthesis system to synthesize advanced panels

Collecting materials can synthesize more powerful panels after the mission, such as "Level +4", "Skill Upgrader", etc. Try to complete side missions and collect, which can provide more resources for synthesis.

5. Plan the panel space layout reasonably

Due to the limited number of panel slots, players must weigh the trade-off between skills and growth. It is recommended to prioritize equipping key combat skills, and then gradually adjust defense or support panels based on the difficulty of the mission.

Mastering the use of the panel system can not only greatly improve combat efficiency, but also experience the fun of game strategy development. Every mission is an opportunity to build a perfect panel combination!
