Triangle Strategy is the latest HD-2D game from Square Enix. While it's a quasi-follow-up to Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy is a tactical RPG, following in the footsteps of Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem. With a massive roster and plenty of challenging encounters, you will want to level your units to the max whenever possible. Here is how to grind XP in Triangle Strategy.
Mock Battles are an endless source of XP
The list of available Mock Battles can be accessed in the encampment by speaking with the bartender.
The best way to grind XP in Triangle Strategy is to participate in what the game refers to as Mental Mock Battles. These can be found by speaking with the bartender at your encampment. These battles are unrelated to the story and exist to let you practice taking on certain types of situations and enemies. The benefit here is that while these battles don't really happen in the context of the story, any XP and items gained are real. These battles can also be repeated endlessly, so you can grind out as much XP as you want. New battles appear as you progress through the story and each battle has a recommended level.
The way XP is doled out in Triangle Strategy is a bit odd, but once you understand it you can use these Mock Battles to your advantage. If a unit is underleveled compared to either the enemies it's facing or the recommended mission level, the amount of XP it gains will be boosted. If the unit is overleveled for the scenario, it will receive a reduced amount. Same-level units means the default amount of XP will be earned.
