-* You get more Deathblows not by using the ones you have, but by trying different button combinations. If you only attack with Deathblows, you won't learn any new ones.
+== Deathblows ==
+* Fight your non-boss, non-Gear battles the following way unless you run into trouble: cycle through EVERY possible Square, Triangle, and X combination that does not end with a X. This is because ending something in a X will start a Deathblow. So if you have 4 AP, you should do:
+Round 1: T-T-T-T
+Round 2: T-T-S
+Round 3: T-S-T
+Round 4: S-T-T
+Round 5: S-S
+Round 6: X-T
+Round 7: Repeat
+* Adjust the pattern as you get more AP, and of course if the battle ends before you reach the end just try to remember where you left off last battle. This is important because you will optimize your Deathblow learning efficiency, and will in fact master Deathblows before they are even available to you. Since Deathblows are largely more important than leveling up, this will save you a lot of time grinding or otherwise wasting your time trying to learn Deathblows.
+== Everything Else ==
+* You don't really need to know anything else besides the Deathblows leveling trick, everything below is just a nice bonus.
 * The story makes much more sense the second time.
-* You learn deathblows by using a certain number of shape presses to meet a hidden number out of three, hence those double digit numbers having no fucking indication on your progress. Always open with XX to finish that portion of deathblows much faster.
 * Bosses that self-destruct almost always give better items if you kill them before they do so.

 * Always have each gear equipped with a Frame HP 30. 50 and 90 uses too much fuel, and 10 doesn't repair enough.
-* As important as having plenty of deathblows available is, don't worry too much about grinding. There are level/AP requirements for each of them, and you'll usually end up learning them about the same time you can use them (Assuming you aren't using completely different squads on each mission).
 * There are a lot of things you can miss, but most of them are inconsequential. Noteable exceptions are Ether Doubler which can only be bought early in Nissan, for a ridiculous cost, and the Trader card which when equipped on a character greatly increases the chance of rare drops.

 * When the music turns off, an encounter is about to start. During this time, you can't jump. Keep this in mind for later jumping puzzles.
