What to study

The fullest battle HUD in either trailer: a left panel lists the selected unit's abilities with their stat rows, a bottom bar names the enemy (Dredge slag slinger) with its own values, and a floating banner over a unit reads 8/8 under a willpower star, so armor and strength are readable at a glance without opening a menu. Red outlines mark enemy tiles, blue outlines mark friendly tiles, and the stone battlefield stays fully visible underneath. Frame at about 51.3s in the Announcement Video (Steam). No trailer burn-in or caption on this frame.
