Summon from playable character

Hello I am trying to make a mix of Moba like (LoL) and a card game Like (Clash royal) basically I want to be able to control my top down character with point and click still, hit another button like (Q,W,E or R) and it will spawn a unit to help fight from or around the playable character. Where would I start for the most basic prototype. Still new with blueprints and coding in general.

start with the top down template.
as for passing inputs you have 2 options (at least)
creating an invisible pawn that handles the input and coordinates the characters on screen (i would not recommend simply " passing" the input but rather passing the intention (move to, jump etc))

another would be to be calling posses once you click on a character. but i think this will be tricky and overall more prone to issues. changing controllers is not a trivial task and can create issues down the line (imho).

id make a list of the things i need. then organize in order of importance, and start implementing and testing one at a time.
