BRIGANDINE ABYSS Beginner Guide

What Should Beginners Do First?

Choose Story Mode, then learn the campaign rhythm: prepare during Organization Phase and resolve movement and combat on the hex battlefield. Official material confirms six Story campaigns, leader-and-monster troops, base development, exploration, contracts, equipment, and class changes.

Key Takeaways

• Story Mode is the clearer first campaign.
• A leader's defeat forces the troop to retreat.
• Each troop can include up to five monsters within command cost.
• Terrain, height, attributes, and support skills matter.
• Expansion is only good when the new border remains defensible.

First-Campaign Priorities

Build two or three reliable troops rather than spreading every monster thinly. Give each leader a purpose: direct damage, ranged pressure, recovery, or support. During Organization Phase, move leaders toward the next planned attack, develop bases that improve the immediate campaign, and send truly idle leaders to explore.

On the battlefield, protect the leader. Use hex positioning and terrain effects, focus targets that can actually be removed, and retreat before a lost leader collapses the entire troop.

FAQ

Should beginners start with Mission Mode?

Story Mode provides a guided faction narrative; Mission Mode is better once you understand phases and specialized win conditions.

How many monsters fit in a troop?

Official material states up to five, limited by the leader's command cost.

Is conquest the only goal?

No. Mission Mode includes varied objectives such as development, collection, recruitment, debt, and defense.
