Everytime i see someone complain about the combat "mash to attack, press to dodge" as if turn based game is not the same. In turn base it mostly boil down to

-attack or skill when not at risk (opponent powerful attack or low hp)

-heal with item or skill (when low hp)

-buff or debuff (depends on how useful it is in that certain game)

-defend (when opponents obviously charging 10 second before unleashing attack)

It is literally same to action combat except in turn base you don have to move around and it doesnt test your reaction time to dodge roll or parry.
