Developer description

Quoted from the Steam store page. Read the full description

Every hero changes the heroes beside it Formation Builder Idle is an idle RPG about placement. Your heroes fight on their own, but where you put them decides how hard they hit. Move one hero by a single slot and your damage can change by orders of magnitude. A puzzle made of 46 heroes Every ability reads the grid. Some heroes buff their neighbors, some buff a whole column, and some care about traits or the entire formation. Lorn buffs every neighbor, and gets stronger for each neighbor and each different trait among them. Perrin copies the buffs aimed at him and passes them to the column in front. Nerissa gets stronger the more positional buffs point at her. Falgrim counts the traits he shares with his neighbors, and his bonus grows with the square of that count. With 17 traits, gear on every hero and a scarf stat that strengthens that hero's ability, the best layout keeps changing as your roster grows. Save several formations per world and switch between them. Left-click levels a hero. Right-click buys max. Prestige across 21 worlds…
