STAR WARS Zero Company Best Unit and Class Guide

Why “best unit” is the wrong single question

Zero Company is a single-player, turn-based tactics game built around Hawks, named operatives, custom characters, the Den and changing mission objectives. A unit that is excellent for a rescue can be a poor answer for a sabotage route or a mission with a long extraction line.

Choose by mission responsibility

Before deployment, write the mission’s primary objective and the failure condition. Then assign responsibilities: who reaches the objective, who controls a lane, who creates an opening, who protects the retreat and who can spend AP on an interaction without collapsing the formation.

• AP: plan which operative must move, attack or interact first.
• Advantage: create and spend the tactical resource around the key turn.
• Cover: judge the route and exposure before comparing raw damage.
• Bonds: account for relationship and side-mission consequences rather than only combat output.

A test that produces a real recommendation

Use the same difficulty and a comparable mission type. Record the unit, class or loadout, objective result, casualties, AP spent on movement, and whether the squad could extract safely. That is enough to produce a local recommendation without pretending it is a global tier list.

The units guide, classes guide and mission objectives guide provide the confirmed vocabulary. Specific damage rankings, mandatory squads and exact ability values should remain open until a versioned in-game test exists.
