Briefing

Best Abilities & Evolutions

Why buff skills and always-on pets out-scale single-target nukes — and which evolutions are worth chasing.

Buff abilities scale the whole squad

Stimpack (Medic), Frenzy (Tank), Pulse and Kunai keep firing as long as their cooldown is up. The damage they enable across the squad is far larger than any single nuke.

Always-on pets are top tier

Saw Blades (Tank), Force Field (Engineer) and Turrets never stop outputting damage. They out-scale every cooldown-based damage ability.

Worth-chasing evolutions

Tank Saw Blade (Cogwheels) — doubling the Minigun's damage. Engineer Force Field at level 4 — near-permanent uptime. Huntress Arrow Rain multi-shot — strong AoE on demand. SWAT Helicopter with cooldown reduction — kite elites into its path.

What to skip

Medic's offense-specialized drone. Tank's missile / bomber AoE (without evolution). Grenade Trail — targets only nearby enemies with poor targeting AI.
