Characters gain levels through experience (XP) that can be acquired through battles and quests. In order to maximize experience gained in battle, you should always group as many enemies together as you can. Note that the cap is normally 8 enemies per battle, however some enemies can call allies if remaining enemies is < 8. Though it does not increase your multiplier past 8.
Each area of the game has a level cap. It is important to make sure you have not over-leveled in the area in which you are fighting.
- Zabirum Temples and surrounding area = Level 10 cap.
- Burning Desert and surrounding area = Level 16 cap.
- Max level cap is 20 you should be in Konkylian Plains or further.
Try to keep an eye on what characters Bonds are maxed and rotate them. Each bond caps at 5 stars. Bond leveling is based on number of enemies killed, not XP. A trick to level bonds quickly is to fight enemies that are much lower level than your characters.
