Dragon Force is genuinely becoming one of my favorite Sega Saturn games, but I can't help but think that I'm not playing optimally. Does anyone have any advice/tips on how to better utilize my formations, items, generals etc? Any help would be great.
Also Dragon Force thread

Don't forget to play the sequel too, It's a bit derivative of the first, but does add a few more fun unit types and heroes as well. Fair warning though, the game still runs like shit on emulators, and finding an actual original copy is impossible as it was never released outside of japan. Also for the first game, the Dragon and samurai units are the strongest jack of all trades master of all units in the game, so a full army of either or will literally take on any enemy force you encounter.

If you know the other general has specials meant to clear out troops opposed to direct attacks to the general, I order them to disperse to the sides and only have the general take the hit he/she was going to anyway. Never melee as you lose control. The chart in the manual is best , but note if the opposing general has any remaining troops, then you can just use ranged attacks to weaken the opposing general.
