The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon Field Battle explained

Image via NIS America In this method, you have to line up your spells for them to do damage. While I love the Command Battle system, it will take a longer time to master. You'll also have to anticipate the enemy's movements to do maximum damage.

Irrespective of your chosen method, all spells and abilities will consume CP, so try not spam the heavy damage options repeatedly.
