Controls

  • Move the Page with WASD or arrow keys
  • Use the mouse to select equipment when the Page is close to the Knight.

Gameplay

The Page is responsible for equipping the Knight.  Each weapon—sword, axe, and lance—is strong against one type of weapon, and weak against another.  The Weapon Triangle (reference-able in game) conveys these relationships:Weapon Triangle

The Knight acts once their Time Meter is filled, using their current equipment.  Make sure they are equipped properly! The Knight will attack all enemies that are weak to his current equipment, but if his equipment is not strong against any of the enemies in the encounter, his attack will fail!

Additionally, the Page can provide the Knight with a shield to defend for the turn, or a potion to heal for that turn.

The Page needs to be in range in order to change the knights equipment.  Be careful though, if Page is equipping the Knight while enemies are attacking, they will receive extra damage!
