What this does

Selects a nearby on-screen enemy that is engaged with you. It helps recover a relevant target in a crowded fight without combining targeting and an attack.

How to use

Run it once during a multi-enemy fight, check the target name, enmity information, and marker, then use combat actions from the normal hotbar.

Requirements

At least one enemy engaged with you must be on screen and targetable.

    Notes

    Its target conditions differ from the broader `/targetenemy` command. Distance and screen state affect the result, so it cannot identify the encounter's strategic priority for you.
