Chain of Memories Just got this today and...

I have never played this before. Any tips for me (cards to look out for, combos to shoot for, etc etc)? I look forward to playing it as soon as I get a break from school and stuff.

 

If you have a Calm Bounty map card, be sure to use it in either Halloween Town, Monstro, or Olympus Coliseum. Blizzard Raid (Coliseum) or Fire Raids (Halloween Town/Monstro) can be learned in those worlds. In general, take out anything that doesn't have a high value, as values are important in this game.

A good deck for ingame is usually just a strong attack repeated over and over. Something like Blizzard Raid is good, so why just have one or two of them in it? Just stuff your whole deck with it. Enemy cards like Blue Rhapsody are good as well if they strengthen your cards, because they help you win faster.

You can make three decks, so be sure to use each deck slot so you don't have to keep changing one deck over and over. I like to use one for Heartless, and another for the current boss. For Heartless, keep Cures at the end of your deck so you can just scroll two cards to the left to heal whenever you need to. Same thing with Bosses, only put KeyBlades with a value of 0 (preferably Kingdom Key) at the end too so you can just scroll two cards to the left to Break whenever you need to. For Bosses, be sure to spam weaknesses (ex. Blizzard Raid for Hades, Fire Raid for Parasite Cage, etc.)

So yeah, just play through normally, and whenever you need help just ask.

 

Good, so you can get advice from me! xD

Anyways, you can't really ask what to look out for since they are so many different strategies and how people play.

But here's what I do. Once you beat the first world, go immediately to Olympia, so you can get Cloud. Ownage right there. Use some Calm Bounties to get some Blizzard Raids, stuff like that. New keyblades are always good.

Um...just try to explore the game. Usually, the first game file is the worst, and that's always fine, since you're getting used to the game. Just go play the game and enjoy it and if you have questions, just ask.

 

Eventually, when you have all 9s and 0s, set them up so that you can use Ragnarok over and over.

Instant win.

 

I use a lot of sleights.....O_o

Be sure to have plenty of Zero cards.
Don't use your highest map cards early..trust me...-shutters over having to use a card count of 99 in Castle Oblivion-

Keep a quick reaload card in your deck all the time. One for Magic cards, and one for attack.

........That's the mistake I made.

I find that Oogie Boogie, Vexen, Larxene, and Riku are the best enemy cards to have in your deck..sometimes others, depending on the situation. Those are the ones I use the most, though.

Try to keep 0 cards in your deck. They'll come in handy..trust me.

 

Eventually, though, you want the Item that brings back both Magic and Attack cards together.

Make sure to use cards like Red Nocturne, Blue Rhapsody, Crescendo etc, because they actually do make a big difference. For example, they can make sleights like Omnislash so powerful that one hit is approximately equal to all three hits of Cross-Slash, or make something like Mega Flare an instant kill just about every Heartless except for a select few in one hit, or make Ragnarok be able to kill any Heartless in two hits.

Be sure to keep your CP high, and maybe a bit over 100 HP as well for safety, but CP is much more important than HP is, because a bigger deck can mean more Cures to heal you whenever you get hurt and better value means that your enemies can't get attacks in.

 

Always have a nice abundance of Keyblade cards in your deck. Along with 3-4 cures (for later on). Also, thunder OR aero cards can help greatly.

 

Thank you for all y'alls advice. It's actually coming in handy quite a bit. I'm currently on the 9th floor I think. I just beat Riku for the first time. I think I'm gonna go with Neverland next. I hear it's pretty hard, but I figure I should get it over with.

 

Be sure to use Fire Raid on the boss.

 

Okay, since this question seems to be answered, I'm going to lock this. PM me with any objections.
