What to study
Turn-based combat in an ordinary camp rather than a set-piece arena: tents, crates and a campfire frame a mercenary ambush, and the HUD treats it identically to a boss fight, with the same initiative list, party bar and End Turn control. The small hover tooltip (Drunken Orlan) shows the game's lightweight identification layer: names appear on hover without opening a card. Frame at about 0:54 in the Turn Based Mode trailer (Steam); extracted as a timed full-resolution frame because the scene-change pass missed this settled moment.
