Every Day We Fight combat decisions
Match the visible problem before spending another action. Armor and shields need different checks; cover angles, reticle bloom and status effects can explain an attack or movement problem without an equipment change.
Where should you start?
- You need to remove armor without only lowering health — Inspect the separate body regions and aim at the armor that remains.
- A Rifter's damaged shield keeps recovering — Use the enemy-shield guide; this is a different state from an antenna console's immunity.
- Overwatch or Scramble is unavailable — Check the Reflex and AP tradeoff before committing the reaction.
- One Thorn is down — Check Bandages and revival items, or recovery after a successful combat zone.
- Cover, aim or an effect is stopping your plan — Choose the angle check for exposed cover, the reticle check for accuracy, or the status guide for a disabled action.
- A clear shot still misses — Compare reticle bloom and the equipped weapon before assuming that all automatic fire behaves alike.
- A Thorn cannot shoot, move or act — Read the named status before treating a disabled action as an input failure.
