# Battle Tactics

Battle Tactics are the preset behaviour patterns assigned to each Character, deciding what it does on its turn in a full-auto battle.

Battles are fully automatic, so a Character's actions are decided by the Tactics assigned to it. Each Character is given one Tactic, and that Tactic holds an ordered list of conditions paired with actions.

Conditions are evaluated from priority 1 downward. The first condition that is met is executed and no further conditions are checked. If no condition is met, or every Skill is still on cooldown, the Character performs a normal attack. See [Battle System](/play-games/battle-system.md).

The presets below are available.
