Mission Strategies
Teamwork
Spread units to avoid group damage.
Use the Haste Device to help units reach objectives faster.
Keep healers in cover.
Priorities
Activate consoles by moving adjacent to them.
For armored enemies: Break armor with acid, then focus fire.
Destroy barrier drones first (use shock weapons).
Recommended Gear
Starter Loadout: Acid Rifle (armor-breaker) + Shock Pistol (barrier-breaker).
Grenade (crowd control) + Haste Device (mobility).
Avoid heavy weapons if mobility is critical.

Always use cover (shield icons on tiles). For tough enemies with both armor and barriers:
1. Use acid to break armor.
2. Use shock weapons to destroy barriers.
3. Focus fire to finish them quickly.
