Formations are positions familiars take in battle. Three to five familiars can enter the battle. The player begins with only one formation, but obtains new ones as the Adventure mode is played and zones are cleared.
NOTE: Upon receiving your first 4-familiar formation, all previous formations (the 3-familiar ones) are lost and cannot be chosen from that point on. The same happens when you get your first 5-familiar formation (losing all 4-familiar formations).
Positions
Three positions are available for familiars:
- Front — The foremost position in a party. Familiars in the front deal more damage, but they also take more in return. Damage dealt is increased by 20% and damage received is increased by 20%.
- Middle — The middle position in a party. Damage dealt and received by familiars in the middle row receives no position modifier.
- Rear — The backmost position in a party. Familiars in the rear will take less damage, but they will deal less damage as well. Damage dealt is decreased by 20% and damage received is decreased by 20%.
Note: WIS-based skills and any ATK or AGI skills which are position independent receive no position modifiers regardless of the familiar's position. See the list of position independent skills here.
