Zero Company Rocket Strike

What it does

Spends shared Advantage rather than Action Points to fire a rocket that detonates on impact, damaging all targets caught in the blast and destroying cover. Each rank improves the damage; the final rank also leaves survivors Vulnerable, so the next attack against each of them critically hits.

The squad's answer to Outlaws fighting in numbers and to droid formations arriving a dozen at a time — and the strongest single reason to bank Advantage. The final rank is what ties it to the rest of the squad: leaving survivors Vulnerable turns one area attack into a set-up for everyone else's, and the Soldier's own extended grenade range is the natural way to collect. Its cost is also its constraint, because the pool starts each fight empty and enemies are most tightly packed on turn one.
