What Soldier does

A broad combat specialization combining blaster fire, melee tools, grenades, and rocket support.

The official role describes the job, not a mandatory weapon or fixed squad. Standard Specializations can support different Operators and can be adjusted at The Den as the campaign develops.

Field strengths

  • Broad toolkit
  • Easy squad fit
  • Useful at common engagement ranges

Planning risks

  • Generalist kit can lack a single dominant job
  • Build choices should define a clear battlefield role

Squad fit

Use Soldier to fill the gap your named Operators leave open rather than asking it to perform every role at once.

Before committing Focus Points

  • Name the job this Operator performs on the current squad.
  • Check whether the weapon AP cost supports that job.
  • Identify which teammate creates the opening this role needs.
  • Preserve a recovery or retreat plan before moving forward.
