Strategy before the meta hardens

The loop that actually matters

1. 01

   Automate the boring failure states

   Food, gathering and production should survive your absence. The developer says expedition length is player-controlled, which turns weak automation into hidden combat pressure.

2. 02

   Build squads around the mission, not rarity colors

   Large battlefields mix infantry, tanks, mechs, missiles and bullet-hell pressure. Control, survival and weak-point coverage matter before pure damage spreadsheets do.

3. 03

   Protect capture attempts

   Mark the target so allied soldiers stop attacking it. Elite and boss capture is harder, so clear the surrounding pressure before gambling on the capture roll.

4. 04

   Choose cores as systems

   A Toxic Fog effect can feed Toxic-Drone Core, while Drone EMP adds control. The useful question is not “which card is red?” but “what existing trigger makes this card fire often?”
