RS:RS formation

Romancing Saga: Re: univerSe has a total of a lot of different formations available to you, each with it's own benefits / mechanics.

In the beginning of the game, you start off with free fight. Free Fight is the standard formation with no special properties

New formations can be acquired as you finish quests and missions.

All formations primarily focus on a few attributes:

- Chance of being targeted by an attack

- Stat mods

As a result, certain formations are going to be better than others for specific types of teams and encounters.
