uhhhmm...me thinks the reason that they designed the liscence board like that is for you to have a little buff so you wont have nightmares coz remember its not turn-based its ADB,battle system is much much much harder coz enemies can surround u like freakin ants..so anyone can heal, do long range attacks etc. w/c gvs u a bit of advantage..and,stats are based on ur armor and weapon!hah!so i suggest,u stick with the three!!ok??level them up,start hunting,and buy the skill "bubble" w/c doubles ur HP!(m not gona tell u wer to buy that skill)wear strong armor,powerfull weapons,and start kickin ass...but strongly suggest that you also level-up basche, his quickenings do great damage..
