==General battle guide==

The main attacks are set into two palettles - Sword Skill Palette and Battle Skill Palette.

Sword Skill Palette can be opened via L shoulder button, and Battle Skill Palette R shoulder button.

The default for each of the circle, triangle, and square are

Circle: basic attack. You can forcefully use O against before the bar fills up, but the damage will be reduced by how much the bar is empty.
Triangle: Parry. As seen in the first fight
Square: Dodge. The default dodge given it Hiding Slide.

==Setting and using your Battle Skills

However, you can set your own battle skills. This is done in the Skill menu (Start>Skill> open each skill individually). You can have up to 14 Battle skills set in the menu. When outside of cities, you can call up your battle menu by Press L+R to enter Shortcut Menu, then press R to open your Battle Skill Palette.

However in battle, you would press O to open up the menu and select a Battle Skill to use. Square and Triangle skills are locked to what you set before the battle.

Once opened, press start to enter Edit mode, and move your cursor over which skill you want to set to Square and Triangle and press the corresponding button.

==Call Palette
During Battle, press R to open up the Call Palette. From there, a variety of commands can be given to your current battle partner. Pressing R with the Call Palette open will praise your parter, thus increasing the Attack / Defence / Support type parameter for your partner. (In case you haven't already seen the pictures for each of the girl's different costume for each different type, go google it)

The commands in the Call Palette are:

R Praise
Switch
Use a Skill
Stop current Skill
Go around the back
Focus this target
-Next page-
Heal yourself
Attack together
Stay back
Defend yourself

Your partner will actually listen and do as you say.

Gathering is done in the fields. When Kirito approaches a possible gathering point, it will start to glow. One can harvest a limited amount of times from the same spot. The gathering spot will recover after one day in-game
