Some people say that you should utilize formations that compliment stats that your team lacks overall (ex. if your team's mobility is low, use Echelon/Reverse Echelon to boost speed during battles). Personally I think the easiest and more efficient thing to do than making up stats you lack is to just always pick the defensive formations (Square/Horizontal), especially for World 4 onwards and for PvP, since you want to minimize the damage you take and troops lost in both cases.
