“Once in the arena, it’s up to you to adopt the best timing for chain punches, kicks, magic attacks and destructive combos,” writes Enigami. “During these duels, your companions can intervene to replace the lead fighter, or help them when required.”
You can also have your teammates heal you and cast spells to boost your strength at the start of every fight. when your health is down or to cast a spell to boost your strength at the start of every fight. Each character is also assigned “Elemental affinities” that can be used to weaken certain enemy types.
