Ability #

Performs an ability of the combatant.
If the action can’t be performed, ‘Next’ is executed.

Class Ability #

Performs the combatant’s class ability.
If multiple class abilities are available (e.g. due to using class slots with multiple equipped classes), the first useable class ability is used.

Change Member #

The combatant is exchanged with a member of the combatant’s non-battle group (battle reserve).

Grid Move #

The combatant moves on the grid, either toward a target, flees from a target or to a random cell within move range.
If the target is reachable, but no grid move action can be performed in this turn (e.g. not enough move range left), ‘Reachable’ will be executed next, otherwise ‘Next’.

Shortcut Slot #

Base #

Layer Gate #

If no action is found, ‘Next’ will be executed.
Keep in mind that using the same battle AI can result in a loop and will ultimately crash the game.

Comment #

Leave a comment in your battle AI.
This node does nothing and is only for commentary purposes.
