The strategic elements of battling include actual options which you set for your AI controlled party members in which you designate the strategy they will use whenever they are not under your control: conserving HP by avoiding enemies when under 25 % health, the frequency with which they link with each
other, and even the initial formation they are in at the start of battles are only some of the options you must
tweak depending on the enemies you're facing and the
difficulty you're playing at.
