Formations are separated into 7 categories in game, and they are color coded as follows in the table below:
- General Purpose Formations
- Physical Attack Formations
- Mystic Attack Formations
- Physical Defense Formations
- Mystic Defense Formations
- Speed Formations
- Recovery Formations
- The order in which formations are listed here corresponds to the order in which they are listed in game.
- Asterisks indicate a formation is an upgraded version of the one immediately preceding it. Double asterisks indicate a formation is a further upgrade of that. Each formation in such a series is a prerequisite for using the next one in line.
- The listed Effect, +%, and -% modifiers are for the most advanced variant of each formation. Using a more primitive variant will result in smaller bonuses and larger penalties.
- The numbers listed under each attribute indicate which positions in a formation will receive the respective bonuses (blue) or penalties (red). (e.g. 123 listed under Spd in blue indicates positions 1, 2, and 3, will receive a speed bonus)
- For a quick overview of what is required to perform a formation upgrade, see Formation Upgrade Tables (X360) or Formation Upgrade Tables (PC).
