Who is Zero Company fighting?
The central operation targets the Infinite Coil, a Separatist-aligned paramilitary cult led by Kundri Fathom. EA describes the enemy as elusive and confirms a campaign of tactical operations and investigations rather than one uninterrupted battlefield.
This launch archive separates confirmed official facts from editorial tactical advice. Unverified ability values, mission rewards, exact enemy statistics and definitive tier lists are not invented.
Prioritize mission-ending threats
Do not equate proximity with priority. The most dangerous enemy is the one that can deny the objective, isolate an Operator, remove your recovery option or force a bad route before the next activation.
Run a 20-second turn audit
Before spending the first Action Point, name the mission loss condition and the one Operator who must remain able to answer it. Then score each visible enemy against the same four questions instead of changing priorities after every hit.
Mark anything occupying, targeting or cutting off the required space.
Protect the Operator whose turn keeps the plan alive.
Count the attack you can see, not an invented hidden value.
Take the support target only when the objective remains covered.
Choose one of three responses
- Remove: the target can end the objective or finish an exposed Operator before your next safe action.
- Displace or control: you cannot remove it efficiently, but one status or forced movement preserves the mission route.
- Ignore for one activation: it cannot affect the objective, reach a vulnerable Operator or amplify another threat this turn.
After the enemy acts, repeat the audit. A low-priority target can become first priority when it gains line of sight or reaches the objective; yesterday's static tier list cannot see that board state.
Read the battlefield in four passes
- 01Mark the objective
Identify the route and every position that can deny it.
- 02Mark enemy influence
Note which lanes become unsafe after each visible action.
- 03Preserve an exit
Do not commit the whole squad to one line without a recovery square.
- 04Finish only when safe
Removing a target is useful only if the objective and next turn remain covered.
Expect the campaign to react
Official descriptions say the enemy threat evolves and battlefield decisions produce different outcomes. Treat each failed plan as information: change one route, one role or one timing decision, then compare the result.
Three mistakes to avoid
Chasing the closest enemy
It can pull the squad away from the actual objective or expose the recovery role.
Stacking one lane
A strong firing line can still fail if the mission demands movement, investigation or extraction.
Inventing enemy statistics
Pre-launch trailers show situations, not a complete launch database. Exact resistances, health and AI triggers are omitted until verifiable.
