Different tactics designate which enemies your allies should target or whether they should prioritize healing. You can change tactics by pressing 
in the party screen. Directing your allies according to the situation can give you an advantage in battle.
- Fight to the brink: Continue fighting without healing until health falls to 15%.
- Don't overdo it: Once health falls below 75%, attacks will be made less frequently and healing will be prioritized. At 50% health, retreat and heal.
- Evasive Maneuvers: Never attack, only evade and heal.
- Target Different Enemy: Attack an enemy that the main character is not locked on to.
- Target Same Enemy: Fight freely at own discretion.
- Battle at Will: Attack the same enemy the main character is locked on to.
Bond Level
Deepen the bond with your allies by progressing Bond Episodes, fighting with them, speaking to them, replying to Brain Messages, and giving Presents (after standby phase 2). After doing so, your bond level with them will increase when you speak to them at the hideout. As the bond level with your allies increases, SAS effects are added and they will perform support actions on you such as healing and reviving more regularly.
Team Bond Level
By interacting with your allies (Companions), your team's bond strengthens, increasing your Team Bond Level. This gives bonuses like increased rates of Guardian Vision, Assault Vision, and revivals, and chances to receive special items. In order to increase the team bond level, you must increase individual bond levels, complete bond episodes, and give special gifts to them.
Giving Gifts
You can give gifts (Presents) to allies at the hideout. You can mainly get gifts from the shop's exchange. Bonds will strengthen more if you give them something they like. Gifts you give will also be displayed at the hideout, so your allies' area will become more festive.

SAS in Combat
Struggle Arms System (SAS) is pretty much your best friend here when you are in combat. As the game progresses, you'll have different Companions who will hop in and out of your playable character's party such as Yuito or Kasane, eventually, leading up to the point of the game where all companions will be in reserve. You will encounter various types of Enemies here and it is best that you use SAS as much as you can such as SAS: Pyrokinesis, SAS: Clairvoyance, SAS: Sclerokinesis, so that you can borrow the Companions' Psycho-Kinetic Abilities.
