Setting Character Behavior; Changing Characters; Health And Healing - Microsoft game studios SUDEKI Manual

Setting Character
Behavior
You can build an effective fighting force by specifying
how your heroes behave during combat. For example,
you may want Tal to attack the enemy aggressively
while Ailish wields her magical staff at the same time.
You do this by adjusting the characters' A.I. (artificial intelligence).
Each character has three settings:
• Attack – Attack without any regard for defense.
• Defend – Attack any enemy that threatens the lead character.
• Retreat – Avoid combat no matter the situation.
TO SET A CHARACTER'S A.I.
1. Press Y to display the Quick menu.
2. Scroll left or right to highlight the A.I. Settings option at the top
of the screen.
3. Scroll up or down to highlight the character you'd like to modify,
A
and then press .
4. Scroll up or down to examine the attributes in the list, and then
A
press to set that attribute for the selected character.
Note: You can set only one A.I. behavior at a time for each
character. For example, Buki can attack or defend, but she
cannot do both at the same time.

Changing Characters

No hero fights alone. Tal, Ailish, Buki, and Elco are a team, and
you'll discover that each makes unique and valuable contributions
on quests. In some circumstances, Ailish's magical ranged attack
may be a smarter choice than Tal's sword. And Elco's rocket pack
may be a better choice than Buki's claws for getting over some
obstacles. So, be sure to switch to the appropriate character for
the circumstances.
TO SWITCH CHARACTERS
• Press c or b .

Health and Healing

A character's health is reflected in the green HP bar to
the left of his or her character portrait. When your
character is running low on energy or is gravely
wounded, take a moment to heal before pressing
onward. Sometimes you can acquire healing potions along your
journey by killing enemies. If you've a few spare florins, you can
buy a healing potion from a merchant. Some spells also heal
injuries, as will resting at an inn.
