Phantoms can also be Confined to special items called Gadgets, enabling slow but mighty attacks. Protagonist Marona has learned a unique skill called Confriend, which allows her to merge with one of the Phantoms, transforming her appearance and unlocking special attacks based on the strongest fused member. There are multiple ways to clear a stage, and everything depends on your tactics, Phantoms, and unconventional weapons.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is an unconventional tactical RPG that features free movement on a gridless map. During battles, players summon squad members by Confining their souls to objects in the environment. These characters range from traditional classes like Warrior, Archer, and Mage to monsters and beast-people, each with unique traits and abilities. On Skullrock Island, the base of operations in Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, players can create 51 different unit types, unlocking new facilities such as Shop and Salvage, depending on the class summoned. The grind to level 9999 starts here, along with the hunt for rare items and challenges in random dungeons.
