Reserve Shift

Originally featured in J, the Reserve Shift, available only for battleships, allows the player to shift from deployed units to undeployed ones.

Rules of Shifting

• The Shift option is only available if the Shift stat of a battleship is upgraded
• A single battleship allows a maximum of 3 shifts (for each level of upgrade for the stat)
• The player can shift any deployed unit (except for forced deployed units) and change it for any undeployed unit
• After the shift, the shifted unit won't be available until next stage
• The newly deployed unit will start the battle as if it was on first turn, with morale not affected by combat

Hints

• Shifting can be of use in account of units with depleted Seishins. Seishin is unrecoverable without the use of items or enhance parts, so the only way to get a brand new Seishin list is to get a new, undeployed unit
• Shifting can be a disadvantage for newly deployed units because their morale is not affected by the combat. When a unit is deployed through shifting, it's morale will be at its supposed initial value (usually 100)
• There are four battleships with the Shift stat: Archangel, Nadesico C, Nadesico (Y Unit) and Re-Home. A total of 12 shifting possibilities
• With the new unit command Load, a battleship can move near an active player unit and load it inside the battleship. Shifting the loaded unit with a new one will keep its move turn
