Tactics

Strike quickly and decisively in melee when an opponent exposes themselves, reducing penalties to your follow-up attack by seizing the perfect moment.

Use deception and misdirection to draw enemy focus away from allies and disrupt their tactical decisions.

Feinting is the art of misleading an opponent into committing to the wrong response—whether by simulating an attack, shifting stance, or exploiting a known reaction pattern. This creates brief openings that can be exploited for offensive or defensive maneuvers.

Maintain and adjust team formations during battle to maximize group coordination, allowing quick stance adjustments and tactical communication without spending AP.

Defend an ally's blind spots and prevent flanking, backstab, or surprise bonuses by staying alert and covering their position during battle.

Gain a superior tactical position in combat that improves control, vision, and effectiveness, allowing enhanced offensive and strategic execution.

Hold the Line attempts to keep opponent out of melee range, making it harder for the enemy to use closing maneuvers or straight out attacking them if they move into your melee range.

Prepare a specific skill in advance to trigger when a chosen condition occurs, gaining a bonus based on timing and focus.

Organize a strategic withdrawal under pressure, ensuring allies retreat safely while maintaining defensive cohesion.

Switch places with an ally during combat without provoking attacks or disrupting movement flow. Useful for tactical positioning, rescuing allies, or bringing the right person to the frontline.

Use coordinated misdirection to disrupt enemy expectations and enable your allies to shift tempo - carrying momentum into the next round for a sudden surge of tactical advantage.

Outposition your opponent in melee with coordinated or deceptive movement, rendering them flanked and vulnerable to your actions.

Use battlefield awareness and instinct to alert nearby allies just in time, granting them enhanced reactions to enemy actions.
