Skill List

A skill is an upgrade that a Trooper gains every Level. These upgrades can be weapons, equipment, passive stat boosters, special abilities or even vehicles for the trooper to use in Combat.

Certain skills require the trooper to reach a certain level. You can check level requirements for each skill by veiwing the "Level" column in the tables below. Some skills require an equipment slot in order to be used, this will be noted with a corresponding item icon in the "Quote/Additional information" column. A trooper can carry only 3 pieces of equipment into battle at a time.
