Tips
  • Keep Cyrus behind your heavy armor units so enemies target them instead of him. This tactic is crucial throughout the game.
  • Beacons are vital for reviving fallen squad mates, healing your squads, and serving as fallback points.
  • Use the fall back ability (clicking the red exclamation mark) to make a chosen squad sprint to a nearby Beacon, preventing them from being wiped out and preserving your Resilience rating.
  • Garrisoning units in defensive positions, like huts or buildings, allows them to engage enemies safely.
  • Utilize grenades when enemies are grouped together to maximize their effectiveness.
