Zero Company Onslaught

What it does

Each attack within a single turn grants this Operator +1 Blaster Damage. The bonus applies only to attacks made with the Operator’s primary blaster.

This one cannot be upgraded. Every Specialization has one passive that is fixed at the value above — the Heavy has two — which is why a class with four abilities shows three rows in the Focus Tree. No Focus Points make it better.

The reason a Gunslinger’s turn has an order to it. The stack builds from *any* attack and pays out only on primary blaster attacks, so the profitable sequence spends the cheap actions first and the expensive one last — clear chaff with Quick Draw, which builds the stack without receiving it, then spend Advantage on Open Fire while the stack is at its highest. Reversed, the same actions produce a materially smaller turn. It is also why a Gunslinger wants a target-rich fight rather than one large enemy: the stack is bought with attack count, not with damage.

  Supports: The video's own description carries a chapter list naming the build each section covers, and it is cited here as much as the frames are: "0:17 Player Character: Medic/Gunslinger", "2:12 Trick: Heavy/Soldier", "4:02 Jae: Scout/Sharpshooter (or Scoundrel, Assault)", "5:41 Tel-Rea: Padawan/Wayseeker", "6:51 Cly Kullervo: Warrior/Assault or Gunslinger", "9:11 Kabb Uppercut: Soldier/Scoundrel", "9:56 Astromech Droid", "10:10 Weapon Mods for the Team", "12:00 Utilities", "13:08 Always Spend Influence!". Plus ten frames of the retail build screens, captured 2026-08-30; published 2026-08-29. PERSONNEL → FOCUS TREE, three Operators. The tree is three bands — TALENT, SPEC 1, SPEC 2 — with one ability row in the Talent band and three in each Specialization band, columns numbered 2 to 6, a Focus Point cost printed beside every unbought node, and rows of visibly different lengths (four, five and six nodes all appear on one screen). Hawks: "TALENT: FEARLESS LEADER" padlocked, "SPEC 1: GUNSLINGER", "SPEC 2: MEDIC", "1 FOCUS POINT REMAINING". Cly Kullervo: "TALENT: COMBAT JUMP" padlocked, "SPEC 1: WARRIOR" padlocked, "SPEC 2: ASSAULT" not padlocked, "2 FOCUS POINTS REMAINING". Tel-Rea Vokoss: "TALENT: STRONG WITH THE FORCE", "SPEC 1: PADAWAN", "SPEC 2: SEEKER", all three padlocked. Ability tooltips print cost, kind and rank together: "ADV 2 | COMBAT JUMP | SPECIAL ACTION"; "AP 1 | 8 BASE DMG | QUICK DRAW | FAST ACTION" with "RANGED. Fire a lightning fast sidearm pistol shot", "This skill applies a Chance-To-Hit Range Penalty of 25%", "Defeating an enemy restores 1 AP", "This ability does not trigger enemy Overwatch or Retaliation", "This Sidearm Attack does not receive benefits from Weapon Mods"; and the same ability at maximum, "AP 1 | 14 BASE DMG | QUICK DRAW VI", whose first clause becomes "Chance-To-Hit Range Penalty no longer applies". "FEARLESS LEADER II | PASSIVE" — "…eases Assist Damage by +1 for all Operators", opening clause obscured by the presenter's camera. "PADAWAN TRAINING V | PASSIVE" — "Allows Tel-Rea to equip a third Meditation. Meditations are managed in the Armory." An unaffordable node shows "CAN'T AFFORD — Gain additional Focus Points by growing bonds or completing missions"; a bought rank offers "REFUND". CHANGE SPECIALIZATION screen: "SPECIALIZATION ABILITIES" lists four per class with their kind — Gunslinger's are "OPEN FIRE | ULTIMATE | Fire 2 Times at any combination of enemies", "QUICK DRAW | STANDARD | Fire a lightning fast sidearm pistol shot", "KEEN EYE | PASSIVE | Increases this Operator's Critical Chance for all Ranged Attacks by +6%", "ONSLAUGHT | PASSIVE | Each attack within a single turn grants this Operator +1 Blaster Damage. This bonus applies only to attacks with this Operator's primary blaster" — with the class blurb "The Gunslinger specializes in multi-target blaster attacks and fast strikes that allow them to spread offense across numerous targets." The same screen offers eight Specialization cards under each of SPEC 1 and SPEC 2, the card taken by one row padlocked in the other, and states "This talent cannot be changed for this operator" over Hawks' Talent. ARMORY → WEAPON: tabs WEAPON, UTILITIES, BLACK MARKET; four equipped slots of which two are filled (a primary and a sidearm) and two padlocked; weapons named as a class plus a model with five statistics — Blaster Rifle DC-15A "WEAPON DAMAGE 14, CRITICAL HIT DAMAGE +9, CRITICAL CHANCE 17%, RANGE Medium, MELEE DAMAGE 10", Blaster Rifle WESTAR-M5 "12, +11, 20%, Medium, 10", Blaster Pistol G40-5 "9, +10, 17%, Short, 10"; and an inventory grouped into BARREL, CELL, SCOPE and STABILIZER. Mods carry a rarity word and a credit value — "ION MODULATOR | WEAPON MOD | BASIC — Increases Blaster Damage against Droids by +1 and against Ray Shields by +16", VALUE 200, shown under CELL; "DUAL COIL CONDENSER | WEAPON MOD | SUPERIOR — Increases Critical Hit Damage by +3 when firing this blaster", VALUE 350; "GRADE II ION MODULATOR | WEAPON MOD | SUPERIOR", against Ray Shields by +24, its Droid figure and its value partly obscured. In-game glossary panels define BLASTER ATTACK ("all attacks that use the Operator's primary blaster… Attacks that use a secondary blaster are considered Sidearm Attacks"), DROID ("weak against Ion effects and cannot be Healed"), CRITICAL HIT ("A hit that strikes a weak point, doing additional Damage on top of the equipped weapon's Base Damage") and PASSIVE ("benefits that are always active… never require AP").

• STAR WARS Zero Company™ Specializations and Weapon Classes

  EA Help · Tier 1 — Official · accessed 30 August 2026

  Supports: "Every Specialization includes a unique set of abilities" and "Each Specialization includes three types of abilities" — Ultimate ("a Specialization's most powerful ability"), Standard ("an active ability you can use during combat") and Passive ("always-active abilities... without needing to be activated"). Note that this is three *types*, not three abilities: nothing on the page says how many Passives a Specialization has, and the per-Specialization ability lists sit behind collapsed accordions that are not in the retrieved text. "Most abilities cost Action Points (AP) to use... These special abilities cost Advantage instead of AP. Advantage is a shared resource that your squad can earn as a battle progresses." On authored characters: "Authored Operators have assigned Talents that you can't change, and some Authored Operators have Specializations that you can't change." On dual specialization: "Later in the game, you'll be able to choose an additional specialization for your Operators." Combat stat definitions — Weapon Damage "The amount of damage dealt by the weapon when attacking"; Critical Hit Damage "The additional damage applied when an attack Critically Strikes"; Critical Chance "The chance the weapon has of critically striking a target for extra damage"; Range "The optimal weapon range for combat. Attacking outside of this range incurs a Strike Penalty." All four Weapon Class panels, read on 2026-08-30 by expanding the page's accordions in a browser — combat stats as printed: Blaster Rifle "Weapon Damage 10, Critical Hit Damage +6, Critical Chance 5%, Range Medium"; Repeater "8, +4, 5%, Medium"; Blaster Pistol "6, +4, 5%, Short"; Longarm Blaster "12, +12, 5%, Long". **All four are 5%.** Action types and costs, verbatim: the Blaster Rifle is fired "once per turn as a Fast Weapon using 1 x AP" with "additional shots in the same turn cost 2 x AP"; the Blaster Pistol "is a Fast Action weapon, which means each shot costs 1 x AP"; the Longarm Blaster "is a Slow Action weapon, which means each shot costs 2 x AP"; and the Repeater "deals significantly more damage if you invest additional AP while firing it. The more AP you spend, the more Rapid Fire Damage it deals", with no fixed figure given. The eight per-Specialization panels expand too, but their ability lists are **inside screenshots** rather than in text — the Assault panel's image reads "SWEEPING SALVO / ULTIMATE / Unleash aggressive blaster fire that deals damage and Disorients all enemies within a large cone", "BULL RUSH / STANDARD / Charge into an enemy, dealing Melee Damage and Pushing it backwards", "FLEET OF FOOT / PASSIVE / Increases this Operator's First Movement by 1.0m", "STRIKE THE FLANKS / PASSIVE / This Operator gains a +20% Critical Chance bonus against Exposed enemies". An image caption on the same page names a "Final Action attack". Page header "Updated 2 days ago", retrieved 2026-08-30.
