Strategy is the behavior setting that controls the way your party members will behave in combat. If you want to change strategy, you will need to visit the strategy tab inside the main menu hub.
Once inside the strategy tab, you can select from nine different settings, each with unique functions to change your party strategy. Each of them will affect the following things your party members can do in combat.
