01
The playstyle signal
Retreat, reinforcement and veterancy connect into a clear idea: a squad that survives can keep contributing. Preservation is therefore the most reliable pre-launch lens for the faction.
02
How to prepare
- Learn the retreat and reinforcement loop.
- Value veteran squads as persistent battlefield assets.
- Compare identity, not unsupported damage or cost figures.
03
Four factions, not five
Chapter and playable sub-faction labels do not change the main launch-faction count.
