What effect, if any, does "choosing" an enemy strategy have?
In the advanced battle options, you can choose from 3 different strategies the enemy might take (shown below).
Is this available purely to view the effects of what those strategies would have if the enemy chose them, or does guessing which strategy the enemy will choose give some sort of benefit?
Best Answer
None
This lets you better see how your opponents' options would affect you. It's kind of like if this was a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock, you could select Spock (for example) and see which option(s) you pick would have which affect on the outcome of the battle. Additionally if your opponent is predictable (say they always choose sniper) you could better pick the best counter to their likely choice. However selecting these doesn't actually affect what the opponent will choose (unless they're looking over your shoulder while you're clicking through them, and then it's all mindgames).
