Battle Withdrawal and Retreat¶

Safely retreat from battles when things go wrong.

Overview¶

When your team is defeated or you need to abandon a battle, FGA can automatically handle the withdrawal process. Configure whether to allow automatic withdrawals or stop the script when retreat is needed.

Key Features¶

• Automatic Withdrawal: Handle retreat dialogs without intervention
• Withdrawal Tracking: Count how many times you've retreated
• Configurable Behavior: Choose to allow or disallow withdrawals
• Clean Exit: Properly close all withdrawal dialogs

Withdrawal Dialog Flow¶

FGA handles the complete withdrawal sequence:

Step 1: Detection¶

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                         │
│    Your party has been defeated         │
│                                         │
│    [ Use Command Spell ] [ Withdraw ]   │
│                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

FGA detects the "Withdraw" button on screen.

Step 2: Confirmation¶

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                         │
│    Abandon this battle?                 │
│                                         │
│    [ Cancel ]  [ Accept ]               │
│                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

FGA clicks "Accept" to confirm withdrawal.

Step 3: Close Results¶

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                         │
│    Battle Abandoned                     │
│                                         │
│    [ Close ]                            │
│                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

FGA clicks "Close" to finish the withdrawal.

Configuration¶

Enable/Disable Withdrawal¶

When to Disable Withdrawal¶

Consider disabling if:

• You want to manually intervene when losing
• You prefer to use Command Spells manually
• You're testing a new team composition
• You want to investigate why battles fail

Withdrawal Tracking¶

Counter¶

FGA tracks withdrawals during the session:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│         Battle Statistics               │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Withdraw Count: 2                       │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

Exit Summary¶

After script completion:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│         Battle Exit Summary             │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Times Ran: 50                           │
│ Withdraw Count: 3                       │
│ ...                                     │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

Why Withdrawals Happen¶

Common reasons for needing to withdraw:

Tips for Best Results¶

1. Review withdrawals: High counts indicate team problems
2. Check your setup: Verify skill commands are correct
3. Consider difficulty: Some quests may be too hard to farm
4. Use appropriate teams: Match class advantages
5. Monitor patterns: Same quest failing repeatedly needs adjustment

Exit Reason: Withdraw Disabled¶

When withdrawal is disabled and a retreat is needed:

Exit Reason: WithdrawDisabled

FGA detected a withdrawal dialog but automatic
withdrawal is disabled in settings. The script
has stopped to allow manual intervention.

This gives you the chance to:

• Use Command Spells to revive
• Use Saint Quartz to continue
• Manually withdraw

Alternative: Command Spells¶

Instead of withdrawing, you can use Command Spells:

FGA can be configured to use Command Spells in skill commands, but automatic revival on defeat is not supported.

Troubleshooting¶

Script stops unexpectedly on defeat¶

• Withdrawal may be disabled in settings
• Check your battle configuration
• Enable withdrawal if you want automatic handling

Withdrawal counter increasing rapidly¶

• Your team is failing frequently
• Review party composition
• Check skill command timing
• Consider easier quests

Withdrawal dialog not detected¶

• Ensure screen is not obscured
• Check for device-specific issues
• Verify FGA version is current

Script continues after failed battle without counting withdrawal¶

• The battle may have ended differently
• Check if Command Spells were used
• Verify withdrawal dialog appeared

Command Spell Alternative¶

If you prefer to use Command Spells instead of withdrawing:

1. Disable automatic withdrawal
2. Script stops on defeat
3. Manually use Command Spell
4. Script continues from battle

This approach conserves quest progress but requires manual intervention.
