You progress through Magia Record by battling through story quests. The game uses a turn-based combat system, where the player always goes first.
 
 
When you first enter combat, this is the screen you see (''hover over the image to see what different areas are''):
 
<imagemap>Image:Tutorial Battle.png|
 
rect 5 3 57 29 [[#Auto & The Battle Menu|Pause the battle and view the Battle Menu]]

rect 363 90 403 106 [[#|Your girl's current HP (pink) and MP (blue) level]]
 
</imagemap>
 
 
 
===Disks===
 
 
[[File:Tutorial Disks.png|640px]]
 
 
Disks are your main attacks. Every [[Magical Girls|Magical Girl]] in the game has a set of 5 disks assigned to them, and each turn 5 random disks are chosen from your team's disk sets.<br/>You must then choose 3 of these disks to attack with. Click on an opponent to target it, then click on a disk to queue the attack. You can attack different opponents with each disk.
 
 
There are 3 types of disks:
 
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center"
 
! Image
 
! Name
 
! Effect
 
|-
 
|[[File:Accele.png|50px]]
 
|Accele
 
|Does damage to 1 target and fills up your MP Gauge
 
|-
 
|[[File:Blastv.png|50px]][[File:Blasth.png|50px]]
 
|Blast
 
|Does damage to up to 3 targets in either a vertical or horizontal line. While Blast disks do less damage per target than Accele or Charge, they allow you to hit multiple enemies.
 
|-
 
|[[File:Charge.png|50px]]
 
|Charge
 
|Does damage and builds up charge. Charges builds up until you select another disk, which results in a Charged Attack. These do more damage and build up more MP based on the amount of charges.
 
|}
 
 
 
===Elements===
 
 
[[File:Tutorial Elements.png|640px]]
 
 
All [[Magical Girls]] and opponents in the game belong to one of 6 elements. When choosing your team and disks, consider elemental strengths and weaknesses. When fighting against a strong element, you will do more damage and receive less in return. Conversely, you will deal less damage to your weak element and receive more damage in return.<br/>
 
When a girl is strong or weak against a particular target, an arrow will appear next to their disk indicating if they will deal more damage or less.
 
 
Note: '''Light''' and '''Dark''' are weak to each other - they will deal extra damage to each other, but will receive extra damage in return as well.
 
 
 
===Combos===
 
 
[[File:Tutorial Combo.png|640px]]
 
 
Whenever you pick your attack disks, you should keep combos in mind.
 
 
'''Puella Combo''': All 3 disks are from the same [[Magical Girls|Magical Girl]], allowing her to deal more damage<br/>
 
'''Accele Disk Combo''': All 3 disks are Accele Disks, granting every girl on the team 20MP.<br/>
 
'''Blast Disk Combo''': All 3 disks are Blast Disks. Each successive disk does more damage, with the 3rd disk being the most powerful.<br/>
 
'''Charge Disk Combo''': All 3 disks are Charge Disks. Builds an automatic 5 charge.
 
 
 
===Connect===
 
 
[[File:Tutorial Tutorial.png|640px]] <!-- being lazy and reusing this image...no one will notice right?-->
 
 
When a [[Magical Girls|Magical Girl]] has attacked 3 times, she is able to [[Connect]] to another Magical Girl. To use a Connect, hold and drag the disk from 1st girl (the one with the Connect available) over the 2nd girl (the girl who will receive the Connect) and release. When this happens, the 2nd girl will attack instead, but will gain bonuses based on the 1st girl's Connect. These bonuses remain in effect for the entire turn.<br/>
 
For the purpose of a '''Puella Combo''' the Connect Disk counts towards ''''both'''' girls.
 
 
Example: In the picture above, [[Tomoe Mami]]'s Connect is available and can be dragged onto [[Kaname Madoka]]. This means that Madoka will gain the bonuses from Mami's Connect, and she will attack instead of Mami.
 
*If 2 more Madoka disks are then selected, it will be Puella Combo for Madoka.
 
*If the Connect disk is the first disk, then all 3 of Madoka's attacks will be boosted.
 
*If 2 Mami disks are selected instead, it will be a Puella Combo for Mami. Mami's attacks will not be boosted by the Connect.
 
 
 
===Skills===
 
 
[[File:Tutorial Skills 1.png|640px]]
 
 
Before you enter battle, you can equip your [[Magical Girls]] with [[Memoria]]. These grant either a passive '''ability''' (always in play) or an active '''skill''' (must be switched on) bonus.<br/> When in battle, you can activate skills to give your team a [[Skills and Status Effects|short-term edge]]. There can be a boost to a character, a debuff to an opponent, or both.<br/>
 
Be warned - skills come with a cooldown, during which they can not be used.
 
 
(''Hover over this image to see translations'')
 
<imagemap>Image:Tutorial Skills 2.png|
 
rect 206 122 341 142 [[#|The name of the skill]]
 
rect 207 145 335 167 [[#|The skill's cooldown - once activated, this is the number of turns before the skill can be used again]]
 
rect 206 172 426 209 [[MemoriaStats|The skill's effect]]
 
rect 176 235 298 275 [[#|Cancel]]
 
rect 338 235 462 276 [[#|Activate Skill]]
 
</imagemap>
 
 
Once a skill has been used, it enters cooldown.
 
 
 
===Magia===
 
 
[[File:Tutorial Magia.png|640px]]
 
 
When a [[Magical Girls|Magical Girl's]] MP Gauge reaches 100, she is able to unleash her Magia. This is a more powerful attack that may inflict [[Skills and Status Effects|status effects]] on opponents or boost the strength of allies.<br/>
 
5* [[Magical Girls]] have the extra ability to summon a [[Doppel]] when their MP gauges reach 200. These represent the ultimate attacks, dealing large amounts of damage and granting powerful bonuses.
 
 
Note: Magia and Doppel disks do NOT count towards Puella Combo. However, having 3 Magia or Doppel disks selected has the same effect as a Blast Combo, with each successive Magia or Doppel dealing more damage.
 
 
 
===Enemy Turn===
 
The second half of the turn is the [[Enemies|enemy's]] turn. Basic enemy attacks follow the same general rules as player attacks with a few tweaks:
 
* While the enemy can use up to 3 disks per turn, most basic opponents only have 1 disk. If there are fewer than 3 opponents on the field, you may only be attacked once or twice.
 
* Most basic enemies do not have MP gauges
 
* Most basic enemies do not build up Charge
 
* Most basic enemies cannot Connect
 
* Enemies can use Skills that are not normally available to the player, and may use them with no cooldown.
 
 
 
===Boss Fights===
 
There are several boss fights throughout the game, usually in the form of [[Enemies|witches, rumors]], or other [[Magical Girls]].<br/>
 
Unlike basic enemies, bosses can attack up to 3 times per turn. They usually have a lot more HP and deal significantly more damage.<br/>
 
Magical Girl bosses may be able to access the MP gauges and deploy their Magia or [[Doppel]], [[Connect]] to other enemies, or build up Disk Combos.<br/>
 
A weakness of some bosses, however, is the fact that they take up several squares, meaning that Blast, Magia, and Doppel attacks will hit them more than once.
 
 
 
===Auto & The Battle Menu===
 
(''Hover over this image to see translations'')
 
<imagemap>Image:Tutorial Battle Menu.png|
 
rect 77 35 251 302 [[#|Battle info - shows the current battle name, difficulty, AP costs, and expected enemy elements]]
 
rect 284 37 574 255 [[Category:Quests|Battle missions - clear all 3 missions to receive the mission reward]]
 
rect 281 265 378 312 [[#|Retire - leaves the battle. You will lose the AP used to enter the battle as well as all XP and items gained during the battle]]
 
rect 381 264 480 313 [[#|Stat card - View your team's disks, stats, and status effects]]

circle 553 292 20 [[#|Gameplay guide (Japanese)]]
 
rect 578 18 606 46 [[#|Close the menu and return to battle]]
 
</imagemap>
 
From the battle menu you can review your mission objectives, quit the battle, or amend the behaviour of the Auto Mode.
 
 
[[File:Tutorial Auto Menu.png|640px]]
 
 
Auto mode is available on the Main Story for all players, and on other story quests after they have been completed at least once. While it simplifies the game and makes tasks such as item farming easier, it should not always be relied on - the Auto mode is notoriously bad when it comes to its disk selection and skill use.
 
 
From this menu, you can select when Auto mode uses skills, connects, and Magia.
