Leader tactics for combat variety

Instead of dashing, Helmscape has leader tactics. When you press the spacebar, your current leader executes a special move that is generally helpful to your party. Here are some examples:

Flamewalk (mage). All heroes run a bit faster and leave a damaging trail in their wake.

Angelic Flight (priest). Evade all attacks while healing the most hurt hero.

Stonewall (fighter). Protect other heroes while pushing enemies away.

Bullrush (hunter). Whole party charges quickly through enemies. Not seen in clip above.


(The names and visual effects for these tactics are a work-in-progress).

One of the most important features in Helmscape is you can press the number keys to change leaders at any time. This lets you try different tactics depending on the situation. More on that later.
