Gameplay

To move a unit, simply select it and then use the D-pad to move it to an adjacent square. Units can also attack enemy units by selecting them and then pressing the A button. Each unit has a different attack range and strength, so it is important to choose your attacks carefully.
In addition to attacking, units can also use a variety of special abilities. These abilities can be used to heal units, damage enemies, or buff your own units. Special abilities are limited by a cooldown timer, so it is important to use them wisely.
