Formations

Fichier:FormationSampleIcon.png

Formations provide Buffs to a party with the corresponding specified Classes.
Formations can be leveled up to a maximum of 30 by completing dungeons and will grant a formation point per level.
Formation points can be spent to enhance an ally position up to level 10 with individual bonuses depending on the formation. No bonuses will be active and no formation experience can be gained unless the party is full and all class requirements are met.

Two formations, Solidarity of Heart and Noble Chivalry, are free for use at the start with additional formations unlocked for 99 rubies each. It takes a total of 2,673,514 EXP to max level a formation. Using 50 rubies to boost a formation gives 160,000 experience to the formation. Currently, one boost will level a new formation to 15 and a total of 17 boosts (Modèle:Rubies) are required to max level a formation.

Resetting a formation removes all allocated formation points to be freely redistributed. Gained points will not be lost.

Formations were first introduced to the global release of Dragon Blaze on September 21, 2015.

## Positions

### **General Occupation**

Allies in a party are automatically arranged in the selected formation firstly with respect to classes followed by party roles before being distributed to Normal slots.
Multiple allies that are eligible in the same slot are ranked according to their effective HP

Slots are exhausted in the same order (e.g. Mage > DPS > Normal). Evasion, Immunity, ATK, Defense Penetration, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and Attack Speed do not appear to affect the order. Tanks will always place ahead of DPS warriors when eligible in the same category (i.e. Normal and Warrior).

Each position has a specified hit rate or the chance that it will be the direct recipient of a single target attack. Generally, units in front are more likely to receive incoming attacks than those in the rear.

*Class rules for position occupancy*

### **Selectable Occupation**

Fichier:Kr patch formation swap.png
With the patch on the 27th September of 2016, allies' positions can now be changed between the slots that their categorization is allowed to occupy.

Two buttons in the formation UI are important for that matter.
The green button enables the player to position the selected ally to the desired position in the formation, by simply clicking the "assign" arrow which will pop up for positions that can be occupied by the selected ally.
The top left button resets the formation to its original, automated state, as well as reclaiming all assigned SP.

Note that any ally can take the Fichier:FormationNormal.pngPosition.

*This formation was released globally on October 5, 2015.*

According to u/Chaos4Ever on reddit:

1. Reflect damage reduces the damage you take by an amount less than the percent of damage reflected.
2. For DoT attacks, it reflects only 1 or 2 ticks at most.
3. Reflected damage cannot be reflected back.
4. Reflect damage can crit. Critical damage is derived from the damage dealer while the chance to crit is based on the damage receiver's crit chance.
5. Evaded attacks reflect damage.
6. Invulnerable targets do not reflect damage.
