What to study

This is the settled battle HUD with no menu open: the mission banner states the objective (Drive back the fire dragon), the turn icons at top center show whose move is next, and the party strip at bottom right tracks Mage 243/119, Warrior 159/051 and Seeker 059/083, with the Front marker showing the active formation row. The HUD stays confined to the top and bottom edges so the dragon arena stays the focus, and the low Warrior and Seeker HP values make the strip read as a live damage report rather than decoration. Frame at about 82.8s in the Demo Trailer (Steam). The trailer framing slightly crops the right edge of the party portraits; all values are legible.
