Switching Fungi, Skills, & Targeting

Switch between Fungi usingnumber keys, then click on theElemental Skill buttonto activate their special attack. Fungi arecapable of triggering Elemental Reactions, so use this to your advantage to get the upper hand in battle.
The white indicator line determines which Mechanicus a Fungus is targeting. Fungi can generally attack Mechanici without targeting a specific one, butsome Skills can only be activated after selecting a target. You can also control which Mechanicus the Fungi will focus on first by choosing a target.
Meanwhile, the red lines connecting determine whichMechanici are targeting specific Fungi. You want to pay attention to the HP of targeted Fungi, as they can take massive damage if left alone. Alternatively, you can also move targeted Fungi away from danger.
