Auto Battle Menu

Posted by:

The Auto Battle menu is a replacement for the “Macros” of Last Dream I and World Unknown. “Macros” referred to a specific set of actions that each character would perform automatically each round of battle. With the transition to a dynamic time battle system, rounds of combat no longer have any meaning.

In the Auto Battle menu, each row refers to a set of actions for each party member. In the screenshot, Tiberius has selected Smite, Crassus has selected Defender, and Marcus has selected None. This means that each time Tiberius would normally manually select an action, he will instead automatically select Smite and wait to perform that action. The same goes for Crassus. Marcus is the exception and has selected None which means that he will still have the ability to manually select an action.

If a character is unable to perform their selected skill action (e.g. Tiberius performing Smite) such as due to low MP or cooldown, they will perform a normal attack.

The Auto Battle Menu is a sub-menu of the “Battle” menu which is accessible via the Main Menu. The other sub-menus included the “Rows” menu and the “Party Order” menu. These menus are still under development and will be discussed in future posts.
