Bring Defenders Depending on Enemies

Base the number of Defenders you bring and deploy on the amount of enemies that will rush into battle. A Defender is also a must for high damage enemies that a Vanguard or Guard cannot easily win against.

Always Have At Least 2 Medics

Medics are essential to helping your team recover health during battle. At least have 2 in your team always to spread out the healing to your Operators. In a level with a wider area, it's best to have 3 of them.
