Building your first party in Emberfall Saga

Emberfall Saga throws a lot of skill points at you early, and it's easy to spread them too thin. After two restarts I landed on a party that actually carried me into the mid-game, so here's what worked.

Pick one dedicated healer and commit. The game eases you into thinking everyone should deal damage, but the fights past the first mountain pass punish parties with no sustain.

On the touch combat: practice the hold-to-aim in the training yard before you need it. Once it clicks you'll land skill shots consistently, and that single mechanic is the difference between a smooth run and a wall.

Save a few points. The mid-game stamina gate means you'll want flexibility to respec toward exploration-heavy quests, and the game lets you refund if you plan ahead.
