Battle evaluation (
Some bonuses are unique and can only be earned once per battle. Others can be earned multiple times, up to 9 times each battle.
The tactical bonuses gained during battle appear on the right of the screen when they occur. All are shown in the tally at the end of battle, along with the sum of multipliers, as long as there's any experience to multiply. Losing or fleeing the battle does not give experience, and in some cases neither does meeting the victory condition.
