You know, I never use the Cover ability in any type of RPG unless it’s completely automatic when someone else’s HP’s are low. Is it like that in this game or is just another manual type of ability that you have to select on your own? Either way, maybe you should just consider ditching the original idea and just have Tristian cover (only?) Ianna automatically in battle whenever her health manages to get low or she manages to get attacked by a random enemy with maybe a 30% chance overall that Tristian will manage to cover her in time. Maybe that type of percentage increases or decreases the more attached that they get throughout the game or the more that Ianna becomes more confident in her own fighting capabilities over time.

Either way, just throwing it out there.

From the demos I've played, Ianna has a strong tendency to go down fast and often, so this Cover ability sounds super useful!

... really useful. Like, almost game-breakingly useful. Couldn't a player just keep using Cover after it wears out while healing Tristian in between? Or is there a lengthy cooldown period to balance it out?
