Specialization Planner

Pick the job first. Use the planner to match your preferred role and weapon style, then compare the abilities that will shape your turns.

All eight Specializations

Compare the main abilities, passive tools, and playstyle tradeoffs before you commit a squad slot.

Mobile frontline pressure

Assault

Sweeping Salvo Ultimate

Damages and Disorients enemies in a large cone, lowering their chance to hit.

Bull Rush Standard

Charges, deals melee damage, and pushes; falls or object impacts add damage.

Passives
Fleet of Foot — longer first move · Strike the Flanks — better crit chance against exposed enemies

PLAYSTYLE TIP: works best when routes and cover are planned

Fast multi-attack damage

Gunslinger

Open Fire Ultimate

Fires twice in one turn at any combination of targets.

Quick Draw Standard

Fast sidearm shot; defeating the target restores 1 AP.

Passives
Keen Eye — higher ranged critical damage chance · Onslaught — primary blaster damage rises across the turn

PLAYSTYLE TIP: Quick Draw wants close range; positioning matters

Tank and threat control

Heavy

Bulwark Ultimate

Area Taunt plus increased defense and damage reduction until turn end.

Unstoppable Standard

Grants two Retaliation stacks for countering the next two attacks.

Passives
Conditioning — more maximum Health · Heavy Armor Training — more Defense and damage reduction · Intimidating Posture — blaster hits Taunt

PLAYSTYLE TIP: lower value if enemies can ignore the tank or objectives demand speed

Healing and rescue support

Medic

Morale Boost Ultimate

Grants Morale to self and nearby allies, restoring Health over turns.

Combat Stim Standard

Grants an ally two turns of higher Health, melee damage, and ranged damage.

Passives
Lifesaving Measures — stronger Medpac healing · First Responder — free Medpac; Rally rescues return fully healed and able to act

PLAYSTYLE TIP: Medpacs do not work on droids

Setup, assists and defense penetration

Scoundrel

Easy Mark Ultimate

Marks an enemy so the Scoundrel assists the next ally who attacks it.

Identify Weakness Standard

Applies Vulnerable; the next damaging attack becomes a guaranteed critical hit.

Passives
Never Play Fair — more assist damage · Scoundrel's Instinct — attacks gain Defense Penetration

PLAYSTYLE TIP: best value comes from sequencing teammates after the setup

Advantage generation and target spotting

Scout

Ambush Ultimate

A surprise attack whose damage rises with Advantage spent.

Combat Recon Standard

Surveys an area and grants Advantage for each detected enemy.

Passives
Tactical Timing — chance to gain Advantage after an elimination · The Spotter — blaster damage applies Spotted, removing range and smoke hit penalties

PLAYSTYLE TIP: Ambush still depends on landing the attack; scouting value rises with enemy density

Long-range precision damage

Sharpshooter

Precision Shot Ultimate

Fires a carefully aimed blaster shot that always hits.

Zero In Standard

Grants Lethal stacks for hit and crit chance; moving or being displaced removes them.

Passives
Pick Them Off — stronger, more accurate Overwatch · Sharpshooter Training — higher blaster chance to hit

PLAYSTYLE TIP: movement can break Lethal setup; Longarm shots are AP-heavy

Straightforward explosive damage

Soldier

Rocket Strike Ultimate

Launches a rocket that damages every unit in the blast.

Brutal Strike Standard

Rushes and Dazes one enemy; that unit then gains battle-long Stun Resistance.

Passives
Strength — more melee damage and grenade throw range · Armsmaster — more primary blaster and grenade damage

PLAYSTYLE TIP: explosive positioning can matter around objectives and allies
