    • Swap Target Modifier Sides: Swaps sides of the friendly and hostile targeting modifiers, putting friendly targeting on the right and hostile on the left.
    • Swap Friendly Target Action Sides: Swaps the directional pad and face button actions when using the friendly targeting modifier.
    • Swap Hostile Target Action Sides: Swaps the directional pad and face button actions when using the hostile targeting modifier.
