Room Creation

Ok, the most important feature in Chain of Memories is room creation. The general map design of Chain of Memories is always the same, but the room design is always different. Depending on which card you use the contents of the room change to fit the specification of the card used. Enemy power, frequency, number, movement, etc. are under the influence of the card you choose, as are whether the room will contain treasure, moogle shops, and so on and so forth. Room creation cards are randomly distributed by enemies so you'll often find yourself fighting as much as possible to rack up a good supply of the cards. Each door you open has a specific number attached to it. Greater than, less than, or equal to a specific number. Each card you pick up has a number from 0-9. These numbers are what you use to judge whether you want to use them or not. Try to hang on to your 0 cards, or just fight to get a lot of them, 'cause there are some levels where 0 doors are everywhere and you may find yourself lost without a 0 card. This will force you to fight until you find one, which could take a while. The best card to use is the "Martial Waking" card, which powers up your attack cards, evening the 5 on 1 odds you sometimes face. Just keep your card usage in mind and you'll do fine.
