Building a party that doesn't fall apart in mobile RPGs

Most mobile RPGs let you brute-force the early game, then quietly demand you know what you're doing. The trap is leveling one favorite character and neglecting the rest. Balance beats brilliance here.

Think in roles. You want someone who soaks damage, someone who deals it, and someone who keeps the others alive. Once enemies start layering status effects, that third slot stops feeling optional real fast.

Positioning is the sleeper skill. In turn-based fights, where you place characters decides who gets hit first. I lost more battles to lazy formation than to bad stats.

Don't hoard your best gear either. I sat on rare items for hours 'saving them,' which is silly — equip what helps you clear the fight in front of you. The game keeps giving you loot; use it.
