Amazon are unfortunately at a disadvantage in that they have no cookie cutter and without growth mods their core army unit is less effective but at least they get early life regen mods. Syndicate just need to go endentured/assassin and aim for the chain/stun mods and the synthesis accuracy or faction tree evasion mods. Kir'ko can also try to rush psynumbra maldictors for chain damage. Kir'ko and Assembly go with sniper spam while kir'ko then throw in barrgers for splash disable. In general with vanguard go trooper/air with the range and splash mods unless you are promethean in which case you head for the rockets and combine them with the cheap plasmoid calldown for early army numbers. If your heroes are heavily geared you can steamroll at least half the opposition within the early game and maybe another if you get some reinforcing strategic/tactical calldowns. Assembly and Amazon also can get 3 heroes.Īs the only NPCs are autonom and paragon the amazon cannot get their godly tanking arboreans meaning cyborg/mechanic focused factions have the potential advantage. Dvar are split with a computer player again giving a hero number disadvantage. Syndicate can only have one starting hero if you choose wrongly in the first mission.

Vanguard can start with a massive 4 heroes with the kir'ko being celestian able to add extra pop to colonies which is useful for early expansion. What the best tactic is depends on the faction you went, what heroes you kept through mission choices and if you changed secret tech during their campaign. Using this you can just cheese the rest using mass default troop spam. By that time you should have claimed most neutral colonies and expanded to many cosmite rifts. Going the neutral path is hardest since you then have 6 enemies to deal with and both periodic globals. If you have the majority of the other commanders on your team it is easy since they will keep the enemies weak enough to rush 2-3. The big threat is the empress nuking cities and their entire sector. If you are against core you get periodic autonom army attacks which can be fended off by the militia. The last mission has 3 players on the core and empress teams and the 8 heroes from the previous campaigns whose allegiance is determined by the choices made in the other missions.
