Strategies

Please feel free to share your game strategies here. wether that be skills to focus on, mission strategies,buildings strategies or anything else...

heres one. have one guy equipped with heavy armour and a melee weapon, this works well if the rest of your troops have pistols/assualt rifles as he can take the brunt of the damage as he has high health and armour and a high attack to fight back. he stops the enemies progressing to your weaker assualt troops whilst they take out the enemies as well.

This one is aimed at PVP. When all your guys either have pistols or Assualt rifles (assualt rifles are better) and you are faced by 1 or 2 good melee enemies in your opponents squad wait for the melee guys to get close then send your troops retreating. Follow the retreat command by an attack and then retreat again. Keep repeating this always keeping your guys out of their melee range then once all melee guys are down attack the ranged one in the normal way. Be sure to cover enough ground before meeting the enemy so you have room to retreat

When you get to know a mission and you expect a Brute or a Suicide bot, it pays to stop your squad for a second BEFORE he pops up. When you march on you can attack him in an instant when he appears. Otherwise you should consider the time passed after your soldier's last attack, would it be close they won't lift a finger until the delay times out depending on your attack speed. Of course you need a ranged team to take down them before they reach you.

When you have melee soldiers or don't have enough firepower to take them down from a distance you could as well retreat until the Brute stops or the fuse runs out on the Suicide bot.
