Scarlet Nexus - How to Change Tactics
This is a guide on how to change Party Member Tactics in Scarlet Nexus, available on the Playstation, XBOX, and Steam. Read on and learn more about how to change Tactics and the difference between each Tactical setting!

What Are Tactics?

Scarlet Nexus - What are Tactics
Tactics are modifiers for the behavior of Party Members in combat that dictate their focus during a fight. These behaviors range from being rather lax in combat to becoming hyper-aggressive against enemy combatants.

Changing Tactics is a useful way to either gang up on enemies or to back away from more dangerous types, reducing the need to use healing items.

Tactics: Options and Differences

Target Different Enemy Allies will split apart and take on different enemies at the same time.
Target Same Enemy Allies will move to attack the same enemy.
Battle at Will Allies will fight normally, balancing evading enemies and attacking them with aggression.
