Tense battles with each turn:
Combat in Etrian Odyssey has a tense edge you won't find in other RPG.
Use your full array of skills wisely to bring each battle to an end as quickly as possible. Take advantage of any enemy's weakness against slashing , piercing, or melee attacks.
Beyond that, your team has a new last-ditch option. Force skills are powerful abilities that are unique to each class, which can only be used once the Force meter is full.
