Don’t think you can relax on the enemies’ turns either because as they’re attacking, you’ll need to select suitable defensive items to minimize damage. You can only play a specific number of cards per turn, based on your Class Level (separate from normal experience levels), and at the end of each turn, a screen will slide in showing you the total combined damage or healing of all your cards. New cards will fly into your deck as you’re choosing, and certain cards, such as finishing moves, are only available after several other cards have been played. In an attack round, you have only a few seconds to select your first card, and from there, you’ll need to play subsequent cards while the battle animations are playing out. You’ll put together decks for each character outside of battle, and once the battle starts, the cards will be shuffled and dealt to you randomly.

You have an opportunity to introduce yourself to Kalas, and are treated as a separate character throughout the game, with other characters addressing you and commenting on your presence throughout.
