Communion question.

[GrudgeBringer]

I have been getting into communions and keep coming up with little things that I don't find covered.

Say I have 18 Mystics and I want to make 2 communions of 8 each.

I understand how to set up the first one (where the CM has to be the last one to cast), but how do I set up the second one.

The only way I can see around this CM casting nullifies everthing after it.... is to have all 16 CS in an order and then have the 2 CM on the bottom and the game will automatically aassign the first 8 CS to the first CM listed and 8 to the second.

If this is the case how would I go about setting one up with 12 mystics and 1 with 4?

I am I just missing something that is easy?

You can only have 1 communion per battle. Send the other one somewhere else

Slightly expanded answer. All communion masters in a battle (on the same side, of course) make use of all communion slaves.

You can have as many of each as you want, but there is only one communion. This is generally good. Instead of 2 communions of 8 slaves, each boosting their master by 3, you get one of 16 slaves, boosting both masters by 4. Slave fatigue is also further reduced and either master's buffs apply to all slaves.

There is a very good guide to all sorts of interesting Communion techniques here:

Communions are quite complicated and you can end up frying a ton of slaves if you set them up incorrectly.
