In this beginner’s guide, we’ll discuss in detail what Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent rotates, what the gameplay is like, and help new players understand how it works.

Game overview

The story of Octopath Traveler: CotC takes place in the same land as Octopath Traveler, Orsterra. This time around, however, the story is brand new. It takes place a few years before the events of Octopath Traveler. Orsterra is ruled by tyrants hungry for “wealth, power and fame“. While the desires of the tyrants have unleashed a bottomless darkness upon the world … there are those who resist the darkness. You will meet them traveling the world as “the elect of a divine ring“.

What will you get and what will you experience during this journey? A journey that will give life to the champions of the continent. It is a single player campaign game, so the main focus is always the story. Now, let’s take a look at what the CotC gameplay is like.

Introducing the basics of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent

Champions of the Continent is a single player game, just like Octopath Traveler. It mainly revolves around players gaining control and playing the main character, then recruiting other characters on their journey around Orsterra.

Main gameplay

The main gameplay of CotC is a JRPG format. For the uninitiated, a JRPG is a Japanese RPG. It involves turn-based gameplay as the main game element. The combat is also turn-based and all JRPGs involve a great deal of interaction with the game world.

CotC accomplishes this through richly animated environments and well-crafted combat sequences. Players start with a character and adopt a Point and click method of moving around the maps.

There are three different routes that a player may choose to follow at the beginning: Wealth, fame, or Power. Each of these paths has a different boss or villain who is the antagonist of that path. The path chosen by the players determines their story, but they can play the other paths once the story is completed with a path.

Starting with the tutorial

When the game starts, players have to follow a tutorial that explains the basics of the game. Movement, combat and interaction are all shown in the tutorial. After it is completed, players will see a Master of cats occasionally, who will guide them through the various stages of the game. Whenever a new phenomenon is introduced to the player, this cute kitty will explain everything in easy to understand language. We recommend that you read these panels, as they are very useful.

Presentation of the game characters

In Octopath Traveler CotC, players can control up to eight different characters at the same time. It is not an easy task. And with so many members, the fight becomes more difficult to handle. Each character is different Works in the game. These jobs are none other than character classes.

All character classes are those that players can find in any other RPG, such as a warrior, healer, etc. It is important to have group members who have as many different jobs as possible because the group will get stronger with each member specializing in one or the other job.

Fight

Learning how to fight at a party is also interesting. Players can select the action each member takes during a combat round. There are 3 forms of attack: medium light, And heavy attacks. Players can decide what kind of attack each teammate makes at the start of a combat round. In addition to this, all attacks have a Bonus meter. This meter can only be used when charged and can rise up to x4 damage.

This means that a character can deal 4 times the damage of a normal attack if that bonus is used. All enemies have weaknesses. Using the right kind of attack to do it Break the enemy’s defenses it is also a very important part of learning to fight. Having different jobs in the group also helps here as different jobs make a range of different weapons and spells available to players.

Most combat situations occur randomly as players walk around the map. Sometimes, however, there are enemies who do not hide from the group. These enemies are tougher and harder to kill than normal enemies and are known as i Elite enemies. Taking on these enemies is not recommended for a beginner, as they have very high defense and attack and can kill a group if they are strong enough.

Character skills

All characters in the player group continue to level up as the game puts players in random fights. Since all the characters have different jobs, as they level up they can access different skills. There is a large number of skills that can be upgraded. All these skills are part of a skill tree and require JP to unlock and update.

Players acquire JP for their party members as they enter more battles and win them. Once updated, the stats of group members increase. Having improved skills and stats for party members makes difficult battles easier, and the easy-to-understand skill tree is the icing on the cake.

Breaking limit

The members of our group in CotC have level limits. This means that they cannot be leveled up beyond a certain level unless their limit increases. This is where the Breaking limit the concept comes into play Bounding is the process where players use the Guidestones to break the characters’ level-up cap, so they can be leveled up further. The Guide stones I’m from two types: Character specific Guide stones, e Regular guidestone. The Guidestones that players can use will depend on which character they want to exceed the level-up limit for.

Influence and feats

Along with combat, flu is also an important part of CotC. Influence can be increased with talents. Stunts are a kind of Results list. This list is a record of the daily and weekly achievements of the players in the game. As this game is single player, the results include defeating difficult enemies and completing story milestones. Influence is divided into three categories.

Each category is classified. The categories are power, wealth and fame. Degrees give you Rubies and passive skills / bonuses. So, in addition to active skills that levels can upgrade through the skill tree, Influence ranks can help with passive stat boosts and perks. Players should make sure to always check and claim their prizes.

Understanding the game currencies

CotC is a free-to-play game and, like other free-to-play games, has two different currencies. One of them is Gold Coins which is the free currency. This can be achieved through campaign battles and missions and by leveling up party members.

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent Beginner’s Guide: Tips and Tricks

Here are some of our tips in our Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent Beginner’s Guide to help you, newbies, kickstart your journey.

  • Always complete the tutorial, in each new run.
  • Make sure you read the little panels that show information about everything that happens again. The small Master of cats always provides useful information.
  • When you exceed the limits, choose the strongest character in your party and the healer / support characters. This is to make sure you have a high-level healer ready in case a battle gets a little too risky.
  • Increase your influence. As stated earlier, an increase in Influence rankings gives party members an increase in their power.
  • As in other RPGs with free-to-play elements, there are also daily missions in CotC. This way the players will have the much needed resources. So it is recommended to complete them every day.
  • Players may be wondering if there are so many stat boosts and fights in CotC, what about items? Well, the good news is that there are no items that can be used in any kind of combat situation. So players don’t have to worry about equipping any extra equipment.
  • Be very careful when forming your group, because even if a party of eight can be formed, not all slots are free. Alone four slots are available for free. So choose your members optimally. A recommended group formation is Warrior, DPS, Healer, and Tank. The warrior here plays the role of the main fighter on the front line, along with the tank. The healer heals the team during battle, while the DPS deals heavy damage from the baseline.
  • The last, but most important tip is to save your data from time to time. This will allow players to play from other devices as well. For this reason, if something happens to the primary gaming device, players can continue where they left off, even on a different device.
