Was a little worried seeing some people describe the game as an auto-battler, but now that I've gone through the first real stage, that claim is unfounded. If this is an auto-battler, then so is Fire Emblem. The only thing that's different is that this game has multiple characters attacking once you initiate combat between two units on the map. In either game, you still control everything your characters will do before combat is initiated.

That said, I fully understand why people think it's auto-battling. It does feel different when you're watching animations play out in a 2v2 or 3v3 battle compared to a 1v1 battle, even though it's ultimately the same concept.
