Valkyria Chronicles 4 Tips & Tricks For Beginners
Make Sure to Deploy Leaders in Battle
Leaders are one of your greatest assets in Valkyria Chronicles 4. Outside of being powerful units in battle, each leader you have deployed adds an extra CP onto each turn. Because of this, it’s generally a better idea to deploy leaders first as they can ramp up your CP count and give you a nice boost. On top of that each leader has powerful Potentials, and they’ll unlock even better ones as you progress through the game. You can also boost the power of leaders by equipping different weapons and accessories on them at the Command Center.
Finally, there’s another ability you’ll unlock early on in the game called Command. By pressing triangle/Y on a leader in Map Mode, you can expend 1 CP to use Command, which will let the leader tell two other units to follow them. This makes the two units move without expending any kind of turn, and they’ll also provide backup fire if the leader you’re controlling attacks an enemy. Command also uses 1 SP to use, which you’ll have one of every turn.
Later on in the game you’ll have the option of promoting one of your normal units to a leader, increasing the extra CP you can gain even more. Strategically deploying leaders and learning how to use their various skills is influential.
