How to Win Battles - Controls and Tips

How to Win Battles in Mongil: STAR DIVE. Refer to this guide if you can't win or are stuck in battles and see tips for combat in Mongil.

Combat Tips

Learn to Switch Between Characters

In Mongil, switching between characters is among the basics of combat. This will allow you to cycle through your characters to use their Switch Skills and Special Skills seamlessly.

Check for the Right Rotation

By switching between characters, you will take control of each member of your party during combat. Learning their basic rotation and skill effects are a must in order for your whole team to function efficiently.

Aim to Counter Enemy Attacks

When an enemy glows yellow, they are vulnerable to a counter attack! It's highly recommended that you aim to counter whenever you can. Successful counters will allow you to use your team's Switch Skill, increasing overall team damage output.

Enemy Element Weaknesses

Using an Element that an enemy is weak to will significantly increase your damage against it. If you feel like your damage is lacking, it might be a good idea to use characters matching the enemy's Elemental Weaknesses instead.

Tips for Boss Battles

Build Up Stagger Gauge

Bosses have a Stagger Gauge found under their HP bar. Fill this up by continuously dealing damage to bosses. By completely filling it up, the Boss will become staggered, creating an opportunity for you to dish out damage!

Destroyers Builds Up Stagger Faster

Destroyer characters are highly effective in building the Stagger Gauge. It's generally recommended to have a Destroyer character on your team if you plan on fighting a boss.

Aim for Massive Damage During Burst

Once the Staggered gauge is fully charged, you can Burst the boss. Bursted bosses take increased Ultimate Skill damage, so launch a full offensive.

Assassins Deal High Damage During Burst

Assassin Role characters have the trait of dealing increased damage against Bursted enemies. If you have an Assassin in your party, it is recommended to focus attacks with the Assassin character.

Role Guide - Class Differences

Interrupt Enemy Ultimate Moves

When a boss begins charging an ultimate move during a boss battle, focus your attacks as soon as the Counter Gauge appears. Filling the gauge to maximum will stop the enemy's ultimate move.

Counter Gauges with Weakness Elements

Some bosses have a Counter Gauge that can only be filled using weakness Elements. For this reason, there is a particularly strong benefit to including characters with the boss's weakness Elements when forming your party for boss battles.

Combat Controls

Basic Attack

The Basic Attack button is the most fundamental attack method. It is a basic yet important action, serving purposes such as building the Ultimate Skill gauge or, depending on the character, being a primary source of damage output.

Dodge / Dash

Pressing the Dodge button causes your character to move a short distance, allowing you to avoid enemy attacks. Holding the button down also lets you Dash.

Dodges Consume Stamina

Each Dodge during combat consumes stamina. Especially during boss battles, be mindful of your stamina and choose the right moments to Dodge so you don't run out when you need it.

Switch Skill

A "Switch Skill" is an action that swaps the active character and activates a skill. Pressing the button switches to the next character, and there is a cooldown for each character.

Switching to a Specific Character

It is also possible to switch directly to a specified character regardless of party order. In most cases, simply switching to the next character in line will suffice.

Counter

A "Counter" is an action that can only be performed against an enemy's special attack. The enemy glowing yellow is the indicator of a special attack, and timing a Dodge or Switch Skill to it will interrupt the attack.

A Counter Resets Switch Skill Cooldowns

A successful Counter makes the Switch Skills of all party members available again. This is an extremely important element as it directly impacts the team's damage output.

Red Marker Cannot Be Countered

Among the special attacks used by bosses, some glow red instead of yellow. Counters cannot be triggered against these attacks, so you will need to avoid them by Dodging or other means.

Air Counter

An Air Counter is an action that can only be activated when launched Airborne by an enemy attack. Pressing the "Dodge" button allows you to immediately counter-attack and land.

Special Skill

The Special Skill is activated by pressing the corresponding button, after which it enters a cooldown. The cooldown duration varies by character.

Ultimate Skill

The Ultimate Skill is activated by pressing the corresponding button when the gauge is fully charged. The gauge builds up by landing hits on enemies or by applying effects to enemies or allies.

Boss Target Camera

The Boss Target Camera is essentially a lock-on feature that automatically keeps the camera focused on the boss. It is ON by default, but you can toggle it off or lock on again using the corresponding button input.
