Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2/Fuda

Fuda (札) are paper talismans the player can collect in Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2. There are two main types of talismans: battle types or equipment types.

Battle
These talismans can be earned by successfully completing mini-game sequences found throughout the capital. The protagonist can use these in battle.

Equipment
These talismans are gained by sealing vengeful spirits in battle. The Seal (封印, fuuin) option is available in the battle menu during the first boss fight in the Intermission chapter.

In order to perform a sealing, the main party must first weaken the spirit's health. Once it is weakened enough (at least within red digits), the player can then seal it using the necessary Five Elements. If the sealing is successful, the player earns a talisman endowed with the spirit's power. Characters can equip these talismans to strengthen themselves.

The protagonist's birthday decides which talismans she can or cannot use. Her innate element is the determining factor. If she has a Water Element, for instance, she can equip the same talismans as Motomi.

A talisman's primary background color represents its primary element: Wood (blue, blue-ish teal), Fire (red, red-orange), Earth (yellow, brown), Metal (green), Water (violet). These talismans share the regular relationships found within the Five Elements.

Four Gods and Divine Aides
Deities can offer their assistance in battle once the main party has proven themselves worthy of their trust. This can be done by successfully completing every investigation event within each chapter. A guardian can equip a god talisman to summon the sacred beast into battle. The yellow border around the Four God talismans indicates that they have been blessed with their divine aide's blessing.

Guardians require a high trust in one another to summon the divine aide. The incantation is a simultaneous group attack which uses a high amount of Will to initiate. It is very useful to have for boss battles since it can be used to weaken a boss into critical health for an easier sealing.

If the player is seeking to fulfill the requirements for Akram's ending, they will gain every deities' trust.

Mandatory Bosses
These spirits appear as unavoidable opponents during the main story events. If the player is seeking to fulfill the requirements for Akram's ending, they will need to seal all of these spirits.

The last boss, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (百鬼夜行, Hyakku Yagyou), can be sealed but it cannot be equipped by characters. The player will need 5 of every element to seal it.
