Tips & Tricks
Building a squad shouldn't require a detective board covered in red string. Whether you're marching across the map, hunting criminals, defending your Security Wall, or gathering resources, the heroes you send matter. These quick squad tips will help you choose the right crew for the job.
Chief's rule of thumb
The highest Power number isn't always the best squad. Hero skills, troop type, position, and what you're actually doing all matter.
