Zero Company Ambush

What it does

Costs 1 Action Point and consumes all banked Advantage, requiring at least 4. Damage scales with the amount spent — 2.5 bonus damage per Advantage, rising to 5 per Advantage at maximum rank, so a full pool of 10 becomes 50 bonus damage on top of the base hit. Usable once per turn.

The only Ultimate with no fixed price, which makes the Scout both the squad's Advantage generator and one of its largest spenders. That is a genuine build tension rather than a synergy: firing Ambush means nobody else's Ultimate goes off that turn. Its case is boss damage, where one enormous hit beats several small ones — and it is the one Ultimate that gets better the longer the squad waits.
