Tactics[]
Tactics are used during normal Story Mode Combat. There is a max cap of 100 Tactic points at any given time, however, the starting amount can also be increased by completing Masteries from 0 to however many you complete. You gain 10 Tactic Points (TP) every step your unit takes during combat.
Example of Tactic Icon in Mastery
Tactics are special abilities you can use during Story mode. Either damaging, healing, buffing or forcing the computer to go against their better judgment.
You can gain new Tactics by completing Masteries from the Story mode.
Additionally, tactics can increase their damage/effectiveness through completing new Masteries.
At start, the only tactic available will be the Catapult attack.
Note: One third of the total damage to be dealt by the tactic is assigned to each commander in the brigade, and if one or more of the commanders has fewer HP than the tactic would remove, the overall damage dealt by the tactic will be reduced. Commanders will be left with 1 HP rather than being killed outright by the tactic. .
