Winter Voices Guide

General Tips

Skills and Attributes

  • Only a small handful of skills depend on a specific attribute to increase their effectiveness; most of these skills are based around summoning or healing
  • Taking upgrades to your core skills is more useful than taking many skills with few or no upgrades
  • You can view more of the skill snowflake by dragging it around
  • Increases to Memory apply to all of your EXP retroactively

Max Memory Volva (MMV)

  • The Dev Team claims you only need 10 * (Level + 3) memory to qualify for the 100% MMV achievements (Source)
  • Skills that boost your Memory (Utilitarianism, etc.) are not required for 100% MMV achievements
  • Memory will increase the amount of damage you take, but you will also have more attributes and skills available to offset this due to Memory's EXP bonuses

Encounters

  • You can distribute your attribute and skill points during encounters, but the bonuses from passive abilities may not always activate
  • Passing your turn with some MP will start you with Floor(MP fom Last Round / 2) + Base MP MP on the next round, caps at (Base MP * 2) - 1
  • Revealing traps will halve the amount of damage they deal to you
  • Enemies with ranged attacks, like Harassment, do less damage the farther away you are from them
  • If an enemy pushes you onto an exit tile that would clear the encounter, you will only be awarded 95% success instead of 100%

Performance

  • Restart Winter Voices every few encounters to reduce the risk of crashing
  • Scrolling using the arrow keys is much faster than using the mouse
