The best defence is always offense. While fighting several monsters at a time is second nature to the members of The Crimson Brigade, but the most important tactics lie in focusing the efforts on the most dangerous opponents while other members of your party deal with the lesser enemies. In order to effectively focus on the target, one must wield a proper weapon and a shield. A member of The Crimson Brigade who fully commits his actions against their opponent can inspire awe in their friends and instill fear in the foes. A member of the Brigade can use two optional commands during stance: 'focus on <target>' to change the locked target and 'break stance' to continue fighting without the stance.
