LOA2 - Formation with only 3 Heroes

There have been several occasions where other players, upon seeing my lineup of only 3 members (my main, and 2 angels), have asked me how to do it. I've been asked a lot of times so I might as well share it.

Before anything though, some might ask, Why only 3 when you can have 5 in your lineup? The reason is that if you only have a 3-man team, it's easier to make your 2 Angels equal to your main character in terms of equipment, level, and evolve stage. And since you concentrated on only 3 characters, most of the time your heroes have higher BR (battle rating) than individual opposing players characters who are struggling to optimize 5 characters. Sure, overall, their team have higher total BR, but yours have better individual BR and are tougher, hit's harder, and more likely to survive a battle.

Also, since you have optimized your characters according to your level, you can easily 3-star a story quest since you don't have a weak link. 5-member teams usually end up with their lowest BR character dying so they'll likely to only get 2 stars.

Another thing, if you deploy your 3 characters in one line formation, you maximize your damage since their RAGE bar gets filled up quickly via getting hit and allowing your main and your Angels to cast their Ultimate.

Setting up a 3-member lineup is easy. All you have to do is don't deploy Augustine at the beginning when the tutorial asks you too (see image below). After that, make sure not to deploy any Angels anymore because once you deployed them, you can never remove them, you can only replace them.

The tutorial asking me to add Augustine. Go ahead and click where the arrow is pointing.

After clicking, it will redirect you to the deploy hero screen. This time,DON'T CLICK where the arrow is pointing. Just click the x to close the screen.

Further along though, in the higher levels, it's best to shift to a full 5-member lineup to benefit from your Ally affinities.
