I must be a complete numskull (special attacks)

[blammo]

I have watched all tutorials (youtube and in game) and have yet to perform 1 special attack after 4 tries at the first battle. What gives? Am I selecting the wrong weapons? Anyone have some suggestions for the first battle. :frown:

This game makes me feel stupid... but in a good way.

Are you equipping the weapons? You have to drag the weapon from the column on the right over to the character who will use it, then hold your stylus on him while the attack charges.

Also, you've got to be in the right Phase. If you're in the wrong phase, the weapon will be dimmed and you won't be able to grab it.

It clicked for me!

Wow- the depth of this game is staggering! Slightly overwhelming... not your usual RPG that's for sure.

Seems like I will be in a battle and not have compatible weapons. For example I have a night available to me but no weapons for him to use. I know how to get weapons but is there a way to avoid this?
