❤ Assembling and Customizing Squads

Players assemble squads of up to 9 units, each led by a character with a Leadership stat that determines the squad's capacity. The roster includes diverse unit classes like infantry, archers, cavalry, mages, and more. Players can equip their units with artifacts that grant unique abilities and bonuses. Carefully constructing squads with complementary class abilities and optimal artifact loadouts allows players to create highly effective and specialized forces.

❤ Tactical Depth on the Battlefield

The turn-based battles take place on gridded maps where positioning and formation of squads is crucial. Players must consider terrain, high ground advantages, ambushes, and morale to outmaneuver opponents. Arranging squads in different formations maximizes their strengths, such as placing ranged units in the back and melee in front. Mastering these tactical elements is key, as AI opponents also leverage battlefield positioning and unit synergies.

❤ Progression Through Unit Development

As the campaign progresses, players can invest in researching upgrades across a tech tree to specialize their squads or create more versatile forces. Units gain experience and can be promoted to advanced class tiers, further customizing their capabilities. The depth of build options and min-maxing opportunities keeps the gameplay loop engaging throughout the lengthy story.

❤ Relationship Bonuses and Squad Composition

Certain story characters can form bonds with each other, providing passive bonuses when deployed together. This encourages players to experiment with different squad compositions to unlock relationship-based advantages, adding an extra layer of strategy and character investment.
