Octopath Traveller: 14 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

13. Get H'aanit's Leghold Trap ASAP

Once you get through any character's Chapter 1, Octopath starts to get a LOT harder. Micro-managing elemental attacks and attack orders is paramount, and for the latter, there is one specific skill that'll see you through.

Initially belonging to H'aanit - though you can assign this to any character once you've unlocked the Hunter class, but more on that later - Leghold Trap pushes any enemy to the back of the next turn's queue.

Invaluable for boss encounters and locking high damage-dealing foes into loops of not being able to retaliate, Leghold should be your first port of call when first unlocking additional skills.
