Raid checkpoint · Loadout
Current version Name the mission job
The raid should begin with a named blocker: travel, waves, armor, boss pressure, or field control.
- Raid phase
- Loadout
- Player job
- Movement
- Tank fit
- Speed, Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the movement job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Choose the job before choosing the Gadget.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
A favorite Gadget can become an answer to a problem the mission does not have.
Raid checkpoint · Loadout
Current version Choose the Tank family
Speed changes movement, Power adds direct pressure, and Tactical creates field control.
- Raid phase
- Loadout
- Player job
- Movement
- Tank fit
- Speed, Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the movement job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Pick the family that solves the named mission job.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
Treating one Tank as universal hides the mission-specific advantage of swapping.
Raid checkpoint · Loadout
Current version Keep one familiar weapon
The first Gadget test is easier to read when the weapon remains familiar.
- Raid phase
- Loadout
- Player job
- Wave clear
- Tank fit
- Speed, Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the wave clear job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Change the Tank or Gadget while keeping the weapon role stable.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
Changing weapon and Gadget together makes the useful upgrade impossible to identify.
Raid checkpoint · Exploration
Current version Check traversal before combat
A route can fail because the loadout reaches threats or objectives too slowly.
- Raid phase
- Exploration
- Player job
- Movement
- Tank fit
- Speed, Tactical
Player job
Complete the movement job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Test movement, turning, and recovery on the first safe traversal section.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
Ignoring traversal can make a high-damage loadout arrive late to every problem.
Raid checkpoint · Combat
Current version Test the first repeated wave
The opening wave reveals whether the loadout needs burst, tracking, lanes, or area coverage.
- Raid phase
- Combat
- Player job
- Wave clear
- Tank fit
- Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the wave clear job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Use the Gadget once, then repeat the same job without spending every resource.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
A one-time clear does not prove the loadout can survive the next wave.
Raid checkpoint · Combat
Current version Protect a boss pressure answer
A boss route needs one reliable damage or control window that does not remove the escape.
- Raid phase
- Combat
- Player job
- Boss pressure
- Tank fit
- Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the boss pressure job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Save one Gadget or weapon answer for the readable boss opening.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
Spending every tool on early adds can leave no answer for the main target.
Raid checkpoint · Return
Current version Track what salvage solved
Salvage has more value when it upgrades a repeated job rather than the newest blueprint.
- Raid phase
- Return
- Player job
- Salvage
- Tank fit
- Speed, Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the salvage job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Write down the one mission failure the next spend should fix.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
Upgrade decisions made only from rarity can reinforce the wrong route.
Raid checkpoint · Return
Current version Use the Hideout as a reset point
The Hideout connects raid results to gear, weapon, Gadget, and facility decisions.
- Raid phase
- Return
- Player job
- Salvage
- Tank fit
- Speed, Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the salvage job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Review the raid before purchasing the next improvement.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
Immediate spending removes the chance to compare what actually failed.
Raid checkpoint · Return
Current version Repeat the same loadout once
A second raid separates a repeatable answer from a lucky first result.
- Raid phase
- Return
- Player job
- Wave clear
- Tank fit
- Speed, Power, Tactical
Player job
Complete the wave clear job before the raid adds another pressure point.
Use now
Run the same mission job again before a deep upgrade.
Safe next action
Mark the checkpoint complete only when the same setup survives a repeat attempt.
Risk
One clean clear can hide poor consistency.
No matching raid checkpoint
Try loadout, exploration, combat, return, or a Tank family.
Failure recovery
Recover a raid that fails before the loadout is understood
Keep the mission job and change only the first system that failed it.
- 1Name where the raid failed
Traversal, wave pressure, armor, boss window, or resource recovery are different problems.
- 2Keep one stable piece
Hold the weapon or Tank family constant so the next comparison stays readable.
- 3Change one Gadget job
Add movement, burst, tracking, area control, or crowd clear based on the failure.
- 4Repeat before spending
Prove the fix on another run before committing salvage.
Decision table
Fix the first failed raid job
Use the action column as the next test, not as a claim about hidden game values.
| Situation | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The objective is always reached late | Test Speed or mobility | Damage does not repair travel time. |
| Waves surround the player | Add area control or crowd clear | Single-target pressure cannot own every lane. |
| The boss survives every opening | Protect one Power or tracking answer | The loadout needs repeatable boss pressure. |
| Salvage is scarce | Repeat the proven loadout | Consistency produces safer upgrade evidence. |
Player questions
First Raid Route FAQ
Use the current game panel before spending rare resources on a value that can change.
Which Tank should I use first?
Use Speed for movement problems, Power for direct pressure, and Tactical for field control. The failed raid job decides the family.
Should the weapon and Gadget do the same thing?
Usually no. Give them separate jobs so the loadout covers more than one mission pressure.
When should I change the loadout?
Return with the result, identify the first repeated blocker, and change only one Tank, weapon, or Gadget variable.
Does the checklist save progress?
Yes. Completed route steps persist in this browser until Reset clears them.
