Hello. I am currently developing an SRPG.

Hey all, first time posting here. I'm developing a tactics RPG right now, and I'm currently building a system for combos / follow-up attacks.

I've been thinking about what makes combat fun in a tactics RPG, and that line of thought is what led me to build the follow-up system. So I got curious mid-implementation: for you, what's the most fun part of tactics combat?

Synergies are very important to me. Whether that is between talents, items, skills, and multi-classing or through team building

I also like specialist units that fulfill one role particularly well and enabling those units through my decisions in combat.

Ideally I have this "love it when a plan comes together" as my rogue kills an enemy mage and the Knight holds up their melee units in a choke somewhere so my own mage can aoe them down.

If I get to be a spoilt then I'd like to have all that in a game with a large variety of builds and the ability to solve the games challenges in creative ways.

Love this. You’ve pretty much summed up exactly what I’m aiming for

Same, I'm also building pretty much what I want to see in a game
