Focus Tree

This ability has no Focus Tree row

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.

Build value

Why it matters when you are planning a squad

The only squad-wide accuracy buff in the game that costs nothing and needs no action, and the reason a second astromech is not redundant if the two of them both reach Cycle 18. Accuracy converts misses into hits, and a hit is what generates Advantage — so this pays a squad twice: more damage landed, and more Advantage to spend on the Ultimates that damage is buying. It is worth the most to the Operators with the worst odds, which means the Longarm at long range and anybody shooting into cover, and it is worth the least to a Gunslinger stood next to the target. Whether two astromechs' Telemetry stacks is unpublished, and it is the single most valuable open question about droid squads.

Supports: Bylined Hack The Minotaur, "Latest Update: August 31, 2026", with an on-page change log reading "v1.4 – August 31, 2026 – Updated utility items" and "v1.2 – August 27, 2026 – Actively updating build, focus progression, and cross-training". **The Analytics table — the astromech's second Specialization, published here for the first time anywhere this database has found.** "The Astromech's Secondary Specialization called Analytics cannot be changed", and "Secondary Specializations cannot go about [sic] Tier 5 for Focus Tree upgrades". Predictive Analytics (Ultimate) "All allies gain Defense for the rest of the turn. Nothing beats these odds", five tiers +2/+3/+4/+5/+6 Defense. Deep Target Scan (Standard) "Conducts an intensive analysis on an enemy. Scans and Spots the target and removes all Evasion. Costs 1 AP", five tiers of Effective Range 14.0m, 16.0m, 18.0m, 20.0m, 24.0m. Self Preservation (Passive) "When the Astromech is hit by an Overwatch or Retaliation attack it gains 1 AP", Cannot Upgrade. Telemetry (Passive) "Increases Chance-To-Hit by +5% for all Operators on the team", Cannot Upgrade. Perfect Integration (Passive) "When the Astromech is attacked, its data increases a random teammate's Defense by +1 for the rest of combat", Cannot Upgrade. **No Advantage cost is printed for Predictive Analytics.** The primary Astromech table reproduces `retail-htm-focus-trees` and is not re-entered from here, with one exception that matters: this page explains the two storage passives as ranks of one four-tier line rather than as two rows — "Tier 1 adds one extra use to all Utility Items the Astromech is carrying. Tier 2 adds 1 meter of movement. Tier 3 adds 2 Defense. Tier 4 adds another extra use to all Utility Items, stacking with the tier 1 bonus for a total of two additional uses per item." The Storage Optimization card itself reads "This effect stacks with Extended Range", the same proofreading error as on the Focus Tree index. On capacity: "Unlike operators, your Astromech has three slots for utilities and cannot increase the number to four." On Medpacs, in the recommended-Utility table: "Heals 30% of ally Health. Not on Droids." On squad legality: "EA confirmed that all three remaining squad slots can be filled with Astromechs on non-story missions, since only Hawks is required." On chassis: the R2, R3 and R4 series and the BR-1, "a new droid design created specifically for Zero Company by Bit Reactor". **Checked for and absent**: any ability called Self Repair, and any Focus Point cost for any node.

Costs, and why most are blank

A cost is recorded here only where a source states one. Most abilities have been named without one, and an inferred number would be indistinguishable from a measured one on the page — so the field says “not published” instead.

Every named ability

Build around it

The Squad Builder knows which abilities compete for the shared Advantage pool, and says so before you commit a slot to two that do.

Editor’s note

"All Operators on the team" is the card's own phrase and it is doing a lot of work, so it is reproduced rather than paraphrased into "the squad": nothing states whether it means the four deployed or the whole roster, and on a passive that only matters in combat the first reading is the sane one and still a reading. Unlocking at Cycle 18 is what keeps this from rewriting the site's accuracy advice. It is a late-campaign passive on a class that starts weak, which is a different thing from a squad-wide buff a player can plan around from cycle one.
