What can I say……I recall the training aid provided for novices in net games.
I think Ren’s party has a good balance.
Two vanguards and two rearguards. Those in front beat the enemies down with physical attacks using an axe or sword, while their backs are being covered with magic attacks and recovery magic.
Without a doubt it’s a reliable formation.
However, the only defense plan in a melee is to avoid the enemy attacks.
While concentrating on evasion, an easy battle will take longer.
