Reactive Plating

01 / MISSION INTELLIGENCE

Before deploying

Main objective: Defeat Coil infantry and the experimental Elite B2 Super Battle Droid; then reach the extraction marker.

Squad roles: A heavy or repeating-blaster operator, a Force user with displacement and area damage, and two reliable ranged finishers. The observed write-up uses Trick, Tel-Rea, Hawks and Jae, but roster substitutes can achieve the same roles.

Do not overlook: Defeating the Elite B2 without moving the company to extraction does not close the mission. Preserve cover before each enemy turn.

02 / SOURCE-GROUNDED TACTICAL CHECKPOINTS

Complete the mission

Follow these 7 documented phases. Mark each step for your own reference while playing. Check the numbered destination link after each checkpoint.

1. CHECKPOINT 01 / 7Mark done

   Confirm this is the one-Cycle Reactive Plating battle

   Choose the Florrum Crisis-prevention tactical entry, not a similarly named generic droid mission. The launch catalog records a one-Cycle window, so inspect your other critical and Hero deadlines before advancing time. The first encounter objective is to defeat the Coil force.

2. CHECKPOINT 02 / 7Mark done

   Open on the Brute from protected positions

   Use a powerful sustained attack against the Coil Brute while your operators remain behind the initial cover. A source-recorded approach starts with Trick applying repeating blaster fire and follows with Hawks to finish the heavy opponent. Avoid splitting every attack across several nearly healthy enemies.

3. CHECKPOINT 03 / 7Mark done

   Use explosives on tightly grouped infantry

   Direct an Impact Bomb or another appropriate area effect into the densest cluster. A single B1 Battle Droid is a poor use of a scarce blast charge when a normal rifle shot will defeat it. Keep a cleanup shooter covering the advance.

4. CHECKPOINT 04 / 7Mark done

   Approach the lower ramp carefully

   The published encounter continues down a ramp where Coil units use cover to interrupt direct firing lines. Move the Force user into a position where Pull or Push can dislodge an enemy. Check the attack preview before committing an operator's final AP.

5. CHECKPOINT 05 / 7Mark done

   Force exposed enemies back into the squad's range

   Drag the defended Coil Striker out of cover if it is safe to do so, and finish the exposed unit from the top or ramp-side fire lane. Retain one operator in cover on the higher ground while another advances so the entire team is not vulnerable to the next enemy turn.

6. CHECKPOINT 06 / 7Mark done

   Isolate the experimental Elite B2

   Deal with any remaining support units before trading prolonged attacks with the armored prototype. The source recommends converging available burst attacks on the Elite B2 within one round, once Brutes and Strikers can no longer punish the squad.

   Next checkpoint →
7. CHECKPOINT 07 / 7Mark done

   Reach extraction when the objective updates

   After the prototype and listed opposition are defeated, follow the new extraction indicator. Move every required squad member into the marked area and wait for the completion screen; eliminating enemies alone may not resolve this encounter.

03 / STUCK?

04 / THE NEXT CYCLE

What to do after extraction

Check the result screen and any Influence or material rewards. Back at the Den, treat injuries, look for new conversations, and reopen the HoloTable for Critical story, Hero and Crisis deadlines before using the next Cycle. A different optional contract may already have expired during this deployment.
