Combat Position
Characters in Planeswalker Chronicles, during combat, are placed onto one of three "lines" as predetermined by the player in the party menu. These lines - the frontline, midline, and backline - confer certain attacking restrictions on melee attacks.
- The frontline may attack the opposing frontline or opposing midline; the attacker incurs a 50% penalty to damage done for attacking a character on the opposing midline from the frontline.
- The midline may attack the opposing frontline at no penalty.
- The backline may attack the opposing frontline; the attacker incurs a 50% penalty to damage done for attacking a character on the opposing midline from the frontline.
The above applies only to melee attacks; ranged attacks and spells may target any line from any other line, with no penalty incurred. Also, a special condition applies:
- If all enemies on the opposing frontline are killed, the opposing midline can be attacked as if it were the frontline, and the opposing backline can be attacked as if it were the midline.
Players can move their characters around freely on a line, or even to different lines, but doing so uses that character's turn. Their ATB gauge, however, will begin filling from halfway instead of empty.
