Cooking is the system that allows you to create meals by cooking with a recipe. Meals are consumable items that can be used before entering most battles and will buff various stats, prevent status effects, or increase drops. Cooking is unlocked after completing Chapter 1 of the story and can be found in Menu -> Meals. Recipes are unlocked by progressing through the story, and come in 3 quality levels.


Cooking a Meal[]

Tips 03-23

On the meals screen, start by selecting the meal you'd like to cook. They are filterable by what they boost and if you have the ingredients or not. Once on the recipe screen, you can select your Helper. The outcome of cooking a meal can differ even with the same recipe. Cooking has a chance of producing higher success levels, which is determined by each recipe and improved by your cooking skill and Helper. Every playable character is usable as a Helper, with varying degrees of Flair for different recipes.


Tips 03-25

Different Helpers specialize in different types of meals, and their Flair rating is shown once they are selected to help with cooking the meal. There is also a recommended tab in the select Helper section where you can view every recommended character, even for characters you don't yet own.

Recipes and Meals[]

A complete list of meals and their effects (complete with sorting) can be found on the Meals page. Characters are listed under their flair rating. Characters under "Recommended" have flair, but the exact rating is unknown.
