=== Popular Formations ===
Below are lists of popular formations recommended for new players. Keep in mind this section will only guide on the general formation building and you must make best of dolls you have to build the best echelon you can.
We'll be using keypad location to refer to each positions.

* This formation is the most commonly used and the most balanced in all aspects.
* 741, the DPS spots, are usually taken by AR or RF.
* 4 as buffer spot is usually taken by HG, but {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}} or {{doll name|Ribeyrolles|AR|4}} can work as buff-DPS hybrid as well on 3-AR formations.
* 5, the Main-Tanker spot, is usually taken by SMG/HG with high evasion and health.
* 82, the Sub-Tanker spot, usually use DPS or smoke/flash SMGs or HG buffer.
* It is not recommended to leave 8 empty, as it will cause the DPS doll on 7 to be targeted.
===== [[Anti-Rain]] =====

|style="width:200px"| {{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|4}}
|style="width:200px"| {{doll name|M16A1|AR|4}}
|style="width:200px"|
|-

* Just like the original AR-SMG formation, this is a very balanced formation.
* All dolls can be obtained through story, which is both an advantage and a disavantage.
** As long as you complete the story all the way up to Ep.7, you have all the dolls needed for this.
** All dolls are one-time only drop, so they all use cores to add dummy links.
* If the enemies' damage is low enough, M16A1 with armor can stand as main tanker by switching places with RO635.
==== AR-SMG DPS ====
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
|-
|style="width:200px"|
|style="width:200px"| AR
|style="width:200px"|
|-
|style="width:200px"| M4A1
|style="width:200px"| HG / AR
|style="width:200px"| SMG
|-
|style="width:200px"|
|style="width:200px"| AR
|style="width:200px"|
|}
* This formation focuses on wiping out the enemies before they even get the chance to attack.
* This formation uses a lot of ARs in order to maximize overall DPS.
** No RF should be used here as they lack DPS compared to ARs. RFs' advantage is that they attack the enemy DPS dolls in the back first to reduce the damage taken by the tankers on battles that take time, but this formation focuses on cleaning out all enemies as quickly as possible.
* 5 is usually a buffer spot, putting cross-shaped formation buff HG. However, you can use Ribeyrolles here too, although it should be noted that Ribeyrolles' skill has long initial cooldown.
* The SMG spot is best occupied by a DPS SMG, whether it is grenade skill or self-buffing skill. However, if the echelon's DPS is not sufficient to deal with the enemies before they get in close, a tanker SMG can be used, but if such thing was to happen, it's better to use 3AR-2SMG formation above.
* For the DPS skills, shorter the initial cooldown the better, like {{doll name|Type 95|AR|5}}.
==== MG-SG ====
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
|-
|style="width:200px"| MG
|style="width:200px"|
|style="width:200px"| SG
|-
|style="width:200px"| MG / HG
|style="width:200px"| HG
|style="width:200px"| SG
|-
|style="width:200px"| MG
|style="width:200px"|
|style="width:200px"| SG
|}
* This formation works with all MG-SG based formations.
* You may use some HG to buff the MGs. It doesn't matter if the SG gets HG buffs or not as no HG formation buff increases armor, the SGs' source of tanking ability.
==== [[Guide:Strategies#Resource Preservative Run|Resource Preservative Runs]] ====

|style="width:200px"| Toursit
|style="width:200px"|
|}
* This is a specialized formation for [[Guide:Strategies#Resource Preservative Run|Resource Preservative Runs]].
* There should be only '''one''' DPS doll, the only doll that gets supplied.
* The "tourists" should be placed wisely to maximize their buff to the DPS doll.
* In case of a "leak" of enemies through top or bottom, the tanker should be moved up and down to attract fire.
* Keep in mind that without supply, dolls won't use their skills either.
