Tips
Star Wars Zero Company Tips for New Players
These Star Wars Zero Company tips start with the systems EA and Steam describe: squad composition, tactical abilities, character loadouts, the Den, and an ever-shifting battlefield. Exact mechanics should be tied to the current build.
Read the objective before spending actions
A turn-based tactics mission can punish a strong attack made at the wrong time. Identify the objective, extraction or control area, cover, enemy sightlines, and the safest next position before committing the squad’s actions.
Keep the squad flexible
Steam names scoundrels, astromechs, and a Jedi as archetype examples and highlights tailored loadouts and tactical abilities. Use those role differences to build a team that can adapt, but do not treat the examples as a complete tier list.
Use the Den as part of the campaign loop
EA describes a base of operations, squad bonds, investigations, and customization. Visit the Den between missions to review the team, prepare the next operation, and note any relationship or loadout changes shown by the current build.
Separate confirmed facts from dated preview notes
PC Gamer’s guide is useful for dated observations about AP, Advantage, mission objectives, and squad management. Keep those notes labeled as preview context unless the same mechanic has been checked in the current release build.
Check current store information
Prices, cosmetic packs, platform availability, and regional taxes can vary by store. Use the live EA, console storefront, or Steam listing for the current purchase details rather than relying on an older launch article.
