What to study
The same turn-based HUD in a boss-arena context, where the initiative list does narrative work: the named enemies (Thaos, Woedica's Judge, Woedica's Herald) read as a boss encounter, and the party bar shows the cost of it, with two portraits at 0 HP. The arena's concentric mosaic floor doubles as the tactics surface, with red enemy rings and blue ally rings marking sides at a glance. Frame at about 1:24 in the Turn Based Mode trailer (Steam).
