It’s been a while since a big-budgeted tactical RPG launched on Switch. It’s as close to a sequel as Final Fantasy Tactics as fans are going to get for now. That’s not to say Triangle Strategy is an example of beggars can’t be choosers – far from it, actua

Once the event is over, you will have access to the Smithy in your Encampment . At the Smithy, you can trade Coins and materials for upgrades to your character's weapons. These can be as simple as attack increases or grant entirely new passive abilit

The easiest way to get them is through merchants. Always buy as much as possible without breaking the bank. Mock battles won’t earn much money or materials, but every little bit counts.

Everything about the game, thematically, seems to revolve around the form of a triangle to some extent or another. In the case of the Conviction system, that's plain as day with Liberty, Morality, and Util

HIgh Conviction scores also influence the arrival of new playable characters via Character Stories . Starting around the fourth chapter or so, Character Stories will be accessible by pressing the '+' button while on the field map. Some Character Stories further develop important cast members in fun ways, and winprizes those will typically pop up per how often you use a given character in battles.

There are breaking points throughout Triangle Strategy that will branch the game out into multiple timelines. The first major decision will have players choose whether they want to visit the kingdom of Hyzante or the kingdom of Aesfrost. This is at the end of chapter three, part one.
