* OutsideTheBoxTactic: Normally, it's hard to know whether or not the player has enemy cards of certain enemies. But if the player is surrounded by enemies, they can pause the game, select system and them select war info. Not only will it display the name of the mission and the objective, but it will also display the enemies. If the player has an enemies info card, they can view their stats. Without a card, it'll just display their name but show that the character needs to obtain their info card.

Not only is the drop rate random depending on the enemy [[note]] if the player manages to get a Medal of the Heavens from clearing the Tower of Heaven on the regular difficulty, the rate increases slightly [[/note]] most enemies will appear on one specific stage, some of the stages being the ones that are only available before the player clears the main story stages.
Added DiffLines:
* PermanentlyMissableContent: Certain enemies will only appear on stages that are used to get more experience to level up characters.
