Tips & Tricks

Chronicle Trigger is pretty easy to pick up and play, but keep two things in mind:

1) Take note of computers and servers you have seen around the game. Jihad, the fourth party member to join, is a hacker class. They can hack some of these systems for permanent upgrades and critical battle abilities. Jihad’s abilities can also change depending on what is equipped, and these abilities are always indicated in the armor descriptions.

“Dr. Midnight”

2) Upgrade Dr. Troubadour’s medical kit to the Leather Doctor Bag as soon as possible. Remember you can sell gear you don’t need at the store, as well as drugs from the higher level doctor bags.
