The new and improved tactics menu for setting up group and combat behaviors is now live!
It allows for some arranged formations in and out of combat that weren’t previously possible.
You can now group similar characters together and they’ll stay near and guard one another, flank as group, and have quick getaways with the whole party.
Each of the 4 groups can be designated a head(temporarily changes to whoever you are playing as if you’re in the group) and up to 6 support characters
The characters in a group prioritize sticking together as a tighter blob, similar to how the guards move outside combat now. If you're not playing a character in a group, the support will stick to the group's head
A support head's position is based off their weapon (and behaviors from the bottom section of picture). Support will still always dodge/block if they can but try to stay close to the group head before doing actions
The bottom tray is a free-for-all bucket, characters act how they do now if left in there
Groups activate anytime combat or form ups are active, so now you could form up circle somewhere and then flank as a group instead of individually in or out of combat
Designating a form-up circle on the ground creates an area the support guards will prioritize staying in for defensive or offensive purposes. You can now designate a character to be the center of the form-up, and the support guards will stick to them.
This allows for quick getaways, or engaging a brawl similar to when you are on the boat - your guards will attempt to be a compact blob at all times and only attack when they are close enough to the enemy - more so if you’re not actively not on the move. So with some careful maneuvering as the leader, this is an effective way of avoiding fights with lots of damaging tile effects where you can more precisely control where everyone is. Using this mobile Form-Up overrides any Groups, so you can activate this at anytime to wrangle in the whole crew.
There are additions to the options you can set per-guard as well.
For item usage, you can now set:
How low can health drop before using a belt item?
How difficult will a fight need to be to take a stat-buffing item?
How low can a friend's health drop before sharing an item?
With that last option your guards can now take a turn to automatically heal their fellow guards with their belt items!
Techniques can be set for:
Charging frequency?
Kicking frequency?
Pinning frequency?
We’ve had some requests for combat options for the guards, and have added in:
How many spirit bars need to fill before casting at will?
Switch weapons at will?
Binding frequency?
Arranging these with groups in mind allow you to dictate who’s using stamina for what purposes, like who’s aggressive with techniques or who’s more focused on saving stamina for dodging, and who’s taking turns healing themselves/others, and where they will be located in a brawl.
While all these options provide more control, the party’s effectiveness will still rely on a good foundation of skills, equipment and power of friendship/techniques between the guards. This also allows for various niche skill arrangements in parties to survive, like having more utility guards that stay back or are primarily used for summoning/binding/casting.
