Formations

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.
• All items listed under Effect column are strictly beneficial. (e.g. [Explosives] -3 indicates protection from enemy explosives rather than a penalty to your explosives)
• 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).
