Mechanism flow
- Start with the role's core kit, then use later progression and a second Specialization to shape the final build.
All eight standard roles
| Specialization | Main job | Works best when |
|---|---|---|
| Assault | Mobile offense | You need to close distance, reposition, or pressure a flank |
| Gunslinger | Repeated attacks | A turn can be built around several quick shots |
| Heavy | Front-line defense | The squad needs armor, attention control, and a durable position |
| Medic | Recovery and protection | Injuries or sustained damage threaten the mission plan |
| Scoundrel | Disruption | Enemy actions need to be delayed, redirected, or exploited |
| Scout | Information and setup | The squad benefits from marking targets and creating openings |
| Sharpshooter | Long-range precision | Clear sight lines and prepared positions are available |
| Soldier | Flexible direct combat | You want a readable mix of ranged damage, melee, and explosives |
Every standard Specialization has its own Ultimate, Standard, and Passive abilities. The labels describe a tactical role, not a fixed personality or species.
Which Specialization should a new player choose?
Soldier and Assault are the clearest starting points because their value is visible without a complicated setup. Soldier handles several ranges and brings straightforward damage, while Assault rewards active movement. Heavy is another forgiving choice when survival matters more than speed.
Medic becomes more important in a roster that is already producing enough damage. Scout, Scoundrel, and Sharpshooter are stronger when positioning and turn order are planned around them. Gunslinger wants enough Action Points and valid targets to convert repeated attacks into value.
A second Specialization changes the build
Later progression lets an Operator add another Specialization. The second role can repair a weakness, such as adding survivability to an aggressive build, or strengthen an existing plan, such as pairing mark support with long-range attacks. A good combination still needs the right Weapon Class and squad partners.
