Adjacency & Targeting

The six-slot 3×2 board uses orthogonal adjacency; diagonals are not adjacent.

Adjacent means an edge, not a cornerFor the Batomon in the top middle, top left, top right, and bottom middle are adjacent. Bottom left and bottom right are diagonal and are not adjacent.AdjacentAdjacentDiagonalAdjacentDiagonalAn adjacent slot shares an edge.
Link Cable is an explicit exception: it makes all allied Batomon adjacent.

How it works

  • Slots touching above, below, left, or right are adjacent; diagonal slots are not.
  • Front and behind follow the same three-slot row. Above and below follow the same column.
  • Opposite targets the mirrored slot on the enemy board.
  • Link Cable is the explicit exception that considers every Batomon on your team adjacent to each other.

From the top-middle slot, top-left, top-right, and bottom-middle are adjacent.

  • Bottom-left and bottom-right are diagonal from top-middle, so they are not adjacent.
  • The mirrored enemy top-middle slot is opposite top-middle.
