Focus ladder
Each line upgrades one ability. Under each rank: what that rank costs on top of the one before, and the roster level it asks for. Click a rank in the tree above to read it.
Builds that run Analytics
Each one is the focus in the order it is spent, within the 24 focus an operator earns in a campaign, and each opens in the build planner with its ranks, weapon, mods and utility items set.
The battery
An astromech cannot fire a blaster and cannot be healed, and it is still the best support slot in the game. Built-In Comlink gives an ally +1 AP for 1 AP, twice a turn at rank two and three times at rank three, so all three of its points can go to one operator, at 21 focus. Rank three had no limit before 1.2, which let an astromech pass on the AP it granted itself. Enhanced Scanners is 1 AP to Scan an area: every enemy in it loses 4 Defense and is 20% easier to hit, and rank six adds a chance of Vulnerable. Coordinated Support at rank three is +1 AP to every operator for 8 Advantage, once a combat; rank six is +2 AP for 6.
Extended Storage adds a use to every limited utility item, and Storage Optimization stacks with it at rank nine, so the droid is the grenadier. Telemetry is +5% to hit for the whole team for being there. Deep Target Scan Scans, Spots and strips Evasion from one target for 1 AP. Recruiting a droid needs the Droid Repair Bay upgrade, unlocked by talking to the astromech in the Pit.
Scan the cluster, Comlink the operator with the best target, throw the grenade, and hold Coordinated Support for the turn the squad needs a second turn.
