Charge Offensive

(Primarily of Alear)
Fall Back Avoidance

Advance

Auto-Battle Advance

Advance is a balanced and versatile option where offense and defense are given the same priority.

Charge

Auto-Battle Charge

Charge favors offense and issues your units to aggressively seek out enemies and attack. Be careful when selecting this option as you may find your backline units in the wrong place.

Protect

Auto-Battle Protect

Protect prioritizes defense and protecting Alear. Choose this option when having your units scattered all over the map is dangerous.

Fall Back

Auto-Battle Fall Back

Fall Back orders your units to retreat. This should be selected when you are on the back foot and need to avoid fights.
