Formation Support

Formation Support or simply "Support" is a functionality that can be employed in the formation menu, while further augments from the Town Arsenal. It unlocks at Player Level 63.
It allows the player to add extra units to the formation as supports. Instead of contributing directly in battle, these units will help the rest of the formation actually fighting by boosting various stats and enabling group combinations.

==Units==
Once formation supports are unlocked, units can be placed in them through the Unit Formation (see the bottom left button labeled "Support"). Units added to the support will benefit your Main Formation in combat, but will not directly participate. Note that each unit can be added to only one of Main Formation, Support or Backup Formation. 
The bonus system is based on units sharing one or more groups. 
*Only units on the battlefield benefit from the group bonus.
*Support units will never enter the battlefield so they won't benefit from the bonus itself.
*Each group has three levels - each requires an increasingly number of units of that group present.
*To count the present number of units in a group, the system looks at units in the Main Formation, Backup Formation and Formation Support combined.
*Each unit contributes at least to its Faction and Class (Role) count. Some units also belong to a Special Group and contribute for that bonus too.
Example: Cyclops, Orc and Troll are all Stronghold and Ranged units, while the latter is also a member of Leader Group. Having Troll in the Main Formation, Cyclops in Backup and Orc as a Support leads to a count of 3 Ranged units, 3 Stronghold units and 1 Leader unit.

==Heroes==
Once adjutants have been unlocked and a hero has reached 4* rank, its adjutant functionality can be locked. For more information about this, please check the main Adjutant page as well as the specific hero pages
Note that placing the hero as an adjutant into the formation is with the purpose of taking advantage of its non-global adjutant buffs. Of course the player can't both play the same hero and also place it in an adjutant slot.
