    Quick question: Why are there some abilities I can't ever use (Elude for example)?

    That's right. Basically, any abilities that appear on the combat screen can be used only in combat.

    What do you mean by 'in combat'?

    The screen where you can choose which attack to use, or whether to Evade or Defend is the combat screen. Skills like Aim, Elude, Strengthen etc can only be used on this screen.

    Meaning when you have an enemy targeted and you see the combat screen.

    do the abilities you use from the map screen last the entire game, or just the next round?

    what are all the different colored bars you seen when in combat screen?

    how do you beat the fire guy in stage 7? what level should my guys be? hes freaking one hitting the ground element guy, whos freak level 15. not much i can do when thats happening. tia and the flame element gear each do around 100 damage only. this is painful.

    thanks in advance!

    What exactly does barrier and armor do? I'm tring to improve the evasiveness stat but it's not there. I'm trying to make the earth guy have great defense and both chicks to have good evasiveness but i dont know how to do that....so far though increasing barrier helps get a barrier more times to block damage...but that's very obvious :p

    The abilities you use from the map screen only lasts the turn that you used it on. I can't remember how stage 7 is so I can't really help. The only thing I can suggest is that you use Evade/Elude whenever you can. Attack with Harvey from a distance with Quaker/Grenade/Multi-Grenade. If there are mountains in the map, place your GEARs on those as well. Also, use quick save/quick load as much as you can.

    Well, armor is for reducing the damage done on your GEAR. Barrier is like a shield that sort of blocks attacks; if an attack is weak enough, the barrier will absorb the damage and no damage will be done. So both armor and barrier is good for Harvey, but armor is more important IMO. And for Tia/Sara, they are just naturally evasive. You will need to use Evade/Elude but that's all you can really do.

    I actually emailed the developers about this, and, as it happens, the development team behind Battle of the Youstrass is the core group working on The War of Eustrath. I was really happy to hear that, since, as we well know, there have been a lot of unofficial knock-offs and "ports" in the App Store, and I was really hoping that the WoE was not one of them.

    In case anyone is curious, this is what BoY looks like as it was originally released in 2000. Obviously, WoE isn't a simple port of a PC game.

    Your GEARs sound awfully weak for level 7, when I beat it my ground element guy could take 2-3 hits while all my other guys do around 600-1400 damage. I think I was around level 15-16. And when you attack the fire guy make sure all 4 of your guys attack him, if you get lucky you can take him out in one round.

    Still need help. After the outburst, its barrier even blocks the attacks of Huben Draknir or Tianerx, even with all abilities turned on. I can sometimes damage him with ... vortex attacks, but only for about 200 health. I'm clueless. :|

    Unfortunately I think you're ahead of most people around here (including me). You may want to check out the iqubi.com forums for help. Keep in mind too that you're stage 37 might not the same as other folks stage 37 -- choices make a difference in the game.

    Yeah, I'm probably ahead of most people, but there are characters with outburst earlier in the game, and someone might have found a way to beat it. Thanks tho. :)

    I actually finished the game yesterday, what I did on the mission with Duran was when he was the only GEAR left, I ran. I made Blue Wing and Tianerx run as far as possible so when it was Duran's turn, he would attack Ascard and Ascard would do a lot of damage. But then Duran would heal and Ascard would damage again. I tried attacking with Blue Wing and Tianerx when Duran was weak, but it didn't help. Eventually Ascard killed Duran with a critical hit.
