Battles in Battlesmiths: Blade and Forge are automatic — each fighter acts according to their class. For example, archers and mages attack enemies from afar, warriors and defenders fight up close, and assassins try to get rid of enemies in the enemy rear first.

However, you can still have a major impact on the battlefield by choosing the combat formation before the battle begins and equipping your squad with the most suitable gear. Moreover, you can use consumable items  during the battle such as bombs and spells to gain additional advantage.
