Battle Commands

Battle commands are issued in combat to deal with the enemy. Each round there can be up to 5 commands listed. They are semi-random in what commands will be listed. They can be streamlined by selectively assigning units with similar arts together so that commands that utilize those arts show up more frequently in the 5 commands.

Some leaders also bring additional commands to their unions. Classes such as Ranger will bring Flanking to their unions if they are leading.

Note that while commands are issued, they are subject to pathing as well as timing. Generally, commands targeting self have priority, then commands against enemy unions deadlocked with self, then commands that are subject to travel against their intended targets.
