Still, breaking locks is meant to be a bonus and is not necessary to complete the game. It’s much easier to break the locks with skills and combo attacks.

If you hit the enemy with the types of attacks as listed, then it will weaken its attack or, if you break all the locks, cancel the attack altogether. The blocks have symbols for the four types of attacks, including Sun and Moon magic. Locks are the rows of blocks that sometimes appear above an enemy before it unleashes a special attack. That’s where Sea of Stars‘ “lock” feature comes in.

Attacks charge a combo meter that lets characters use dual attacks, which sometimes hit more weaknesses than the characters can on their own. Ideally, the player should take advantage of type weaknesses. Each character has a mana bar that refills whenever they use their normal attacks, as well as skills that they can cast when they have enough MP.

Players can directly choose if a character attacks, casts a spell, or uses an item during their turn. Sea of Stars blends just the right amount of traditional and modern gameplay in its battles.
