Just had an idea, wanted some feedback, especially from those of you who have played the game already (mediocrepoet, Abu Antar, PulsatingBrain). To add more spice to the combat, I was thinking of adding a Formation mechanic in an update. This will give effects that apply to the entire team, sometimes depending on where each character is positioned on the field. You'll be able to change your formation on the fly.
Examples:
Standard Formation - no added effects
Attack Formation - adds 10% attack to all heroes
SYNC Formation - team moves build 10% faster
Endurance Formation - all special moves cost 10% less to use
And then there will be some more in-depth ones:
Healing Formation - healing items and special moves used by character in 2nd battle position restore 30% more
Guardian Formation - damage done to character in 2nd battle position is passed onto characters in 1st and 3rd positions
Etc.
In addition to this, I'm going to add a second equipment slot for each character.
What do you guys think?
I think those both sound like good ideas. Perhaps the formations might also have a trade off like focusing on attack reduces defense, etc.
