Shadow Tactics voice commands

Patience and silence are the tools of the shinobi. Echo Control lets you direct your team with a whisper — select a character, choose their ability, and let them move without you ever breaking concentration. The enemy won't hear a thing.

EchoControl command list for Shadow Tactics
NOW / KILL variants: inside Shadow Mode you can queue actions for each character. Say any ability followed by now to queue it, or kill to execute it immediately the moment Shadow Mode fires. Example: katana now, katana kill.

Characters

Choose who you're controlling. The game switches focus instantly. You can also jump the camera to any character without selecting them — useful for scouting positions before committing to a plan.
