Target Indicator

A visual element that shows which enemy or object is currently targeted or locked on, and often conveys that enemy's status.

A reticle, bracket, or color change around a locked enemy tells the player exactly who they're fighting. In multi-enemy encounters without clear targeting feedback, players frequently attack the wrong enemy without realizing it.
