There are various methods to rid your team of status ailments in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. Here are a few strategies:
-
Use Skill Order demons to apply support skills that heal statuses. Many abilities can cure multiple ailments at once, such as Patra.
- Consider training demons from other orders to learn these skills, allowing you to combine offensive and defensive actions effectively. Victor at the Goumaden can assist you with this.
-
Utilize items during battles. You can purchase items targeting specific ailments or invest in all-purpose items that heal all statuses.
- Kounno-ya is a reliable source for these items. You can also find them as loot from demons in the overworld or by capturing new demons during battles.
- Heal your team by stopping by locations like the Goumaden, Narumi Detective Agency, and Nakisawame as you explore the Dark World.
Demons that have fallen in battle can be revived outside of combat, so make sure to use your items from the Command menu often if one drops, especially if they’ve been crucial for your progress.
