Abilities

Move Ability

Use the Move Ability to change the position of a unit. The number of Actions consumed by a Move depends on how far the unit travels.

Movement Range

A unit’s Movement Range indicates how far the unit can move with a single Action.

Waypoints

Use Waypoints to create a specific path for a unit to move. This can help avoid enemy Overwatch or other threatening areas on the battlefield. The default control to place a Waypoint is [Ctrl] + [Left-Click].

Shoot Ability

Use the Shoot Ability to deliver a payload with the active weapon. This will reduce the Ammo of the active weapon by one (1). 

Overwatch Ability

Set an Overwatch area to shoot during the enemy turn. Your unit will shoot at any enemy unit that enters the Overwatch area or take an offensive Action while inside the Overwatch area.  

Note: the remaining Actions a unit has when they set Overwatch will be turned into shots during the enemy turn.  

Note: a larger Overwatch area will potentially catch more enemies inside of it, however, a smaller Overwatch area will shoot with a higher Accuracy. 

Note: a unit will stop shooting if it runs out of Ammo during an Overwatch.

Reload Ability

When a weapon is out of Ammo, use this Ability to add more Ammo to the active weapon. 

Note: be sure you have the correct weapon equipped. 

Snub Pistol

Each unit carries a Snub Pistol as their Secondary Weapon. The Snub can be useful when you want to conserve Ammo in a Primary Weapon. It also performs better at longer ranges than some Primary Weapons, but generally deals less damage. 

Disabling Shot Ability 

The Snub Pistol has an ability called Disabling Shot that can be used to interrupt an enemy Overwatch.
