So, in case you want to breeze through the game (wouldnt recommend it on a first-playthrough), here is how to do it:

All you need to do is make it to Mission 10 aka Castle Ruins. Once cleared all enemies, put Sara and/or Huxley on the "magic circles" up top and use Mystic Shield on whoever has the highest lvl. They will regenerate their MP each round, which means you can infinitely cast Mystic Shield/Bless Weapon until you get the level you desire (or hit max lvl which is 49).
Once you are done, make sure you used plenty of your mp (because otherwise the next step wont work!) and start using mage oil with your other characters. Mage Oil restores 4 MP but the main factor here is that you use it on a character who is 10 or 20 or 30 lvls higher than you, which means you will get a ton of exp! When you are done with your Oils, finish the mission, go to the Dojo, promote everyone and you can easily beat the rest of the game! :D

Introduction ahead:

Hello there! :D
Welcome to my favorite game of all time :)
Its Vandal Hearts, the first of two (no there is no prequel from 2010.. :D) games. I have played it at least 20 times i believe and we will do it at least twice on the channel, maybe even a third time :)

This will be the 100% Run (the 2nd one will be a casual run or how you would play it the first time) where i will show everything the game has to offer (to my knowledge), which means:

-all missions without any casualties (more on that later)
-all collectibles (chests and "hidden spots")
-all 6 trials (due to spoilers we will do them all at the end, makes it a bit more challenging as well)
-all "secret" dialogue (the first are in mission 4)

you will see in chapter 1 (the first 6-7 missions) that my playstyle is quite different from other people. thats because i want to show you an alternate way to play the game, dont worry i know what im doing :D

you might notice me using savestates sometimes, but thats not so i can manipulate the rng or prevent character deaths, its only for showcase purposes and the game itself has a savestate function so its the same thing just without loading screens :D

if you have any questions, suggestions, ideas or just want to say hello, feel free to write a comment down below! :)

for this run i have already determined which class each character advances too but for the casual run im open for everything, make it challenging and enjoyable! :D

SYNOPSIS:
Thousands of years ago, the holy man known to history as Toroah the Messiah traveled far and wide across the continent of Sostegaria, spreading his teachings throughout the land. After his death, his descendants and heirs assumed absolute political power over the region, forming the basis of the Holy Ashah Dynasty and ruling through a combination of religious doctrine and military power for millennia. The kings and queens of the Holy Ashah Dynasty, however, did not always rule wisely or justly, and, as time passed, the citizenry began to resent the power of their leaders.

Fifteen years ago, this growing discontent found its ultimate expression in the person of Arris the Sage, who united the desperate and resentful anti-royal factions throughout Sostegaria and shaped them into a powerful guerrilla army. Under the cunning leadership of Arris, this Liberation Army managed to outwit and outmaneuver the Royal Army, and finally smashed through to the palace of the Ashah Dynasty itself, and burnt it to the ground.

With the monarchy dissolved, the rebels establish a ruling council founded on the principles of democracy and popular sovereignty. From the ashes of the Holy Ashah Empire emerges the Republic of Ishtaria. The leaders of the revolution naturally assumed leadership positions within the new republic: all, that is, except for Arris himself, who suddenly disappeared and has not been seen of, nor heard of, ever since.

Today, the fledgling republic is in increasingly dire straits: the autocratic Minister of Defense, Hel Spites, and his elite anti-terrorism squad, the Crimson Guard, are using ever-increasing force to stamp out the last vestiges of resistance to Ishtarian rule, while they allow outlaws to roam the countryside and pirates to sail the seas. Meanwhile, Ash Lambert and his colleagues at the third battalion of the Ishtarian Security Forces begin to suspect a conspiracy at the highest levels of government.
