Talent

Zero Company Combat Jump Talent

Cly Kullervo's fixed Talent: a jetpack leap that displaces enemies where she lands and sets them Burning.

Confirmed

Confidence: Confirmed
Verified: 23 August 2026
Version: pre-release (no retail build)

Quick answer

For 2 Advantage and no Action Point, Cly uses her jetpack to leap to a target location and shove nearby enemies out of the way. It triggers neither Overwatch nor retaliation attacks. Ranks raise the range; the final rank also applies four stacks of Burn to enemies near where she lands.

Available to: Cly Kullervo only — fixed, and it persists across every Specialization
Cost: Advantage
First rank: A jetpack leap for 2 Advantage that costs no Action Point and shoves enemies aside on landing.
Max rank: Longer range, plus four stacks of Burn on nearby enemies — 4 damage, then 2, then 1.
Tags: mobile, displacement, anti-cover, debuff

Build value

What this Talent is actually for

Very likely the best positioning tool in the game, and the reason is the cost line rather than the effect: no Action Point, and it provokes neither Overwatch nor retaliation, so there is nothing the enemy can do about it. Capturing an objective, taking high ground, or landing beside someone standing near a ledge and introducing them to gravity are all the same action. The Burn at the top rank is small — 4 damage, then 2, then 1 — but it is free damage bolted to something already worth doing. What it costs is the squad's shared Advantage, and that is the real constraint on her: 2 Advantage a jump is cheap individually and expensive in a squad that cannot fill the pool.

Pairings

Specializations it combines with

A Talent is chosen separately from a class, so these are combinations you assemble yourself rather than anything the game groups for you.

Sharpshooter
Scattering a group out of cover on landing gives a long-range attacker several exposed targets at once.
Scout
She is described as very Advantage-hungry, and the Scout is the only class that fills the shared pool on purpose.

What we don't know yet

The game has not been released. These are open questions we have chosen not to guess at.

Jump range in metres, at any rank, and the radius of the shove on landing.
How many Burn stacks each rank grants below the maximum of four. That they scale across ranks is now reported; the ladder is not.
Whether the four Burn stacks tick 4/2/1 and then stop, or continue decaying.
Whether it can be used more than once in a turn if the Advantage is there.
Whether the shove can push an enemy off a ledge for a kill, as her landing near one implies.

The layer above this one

Talents sit alongside Specializations, not inside them. The Squad Builder models the class half only, so a build that leans on a Talent says so in prose rather than being checked for you.

How the Talent system works

Editor’s note

Updated 2026-08-20. `costType` was `ap` and is wrong: it costs 2 Advantage and no Action Point. That is not a small correction — an ability that costs no action and cannot be answered by Overwatch is a different thing from one that costs a third of her turn, and the builder was pricing her turn incorrectly. The Burn numbers are published for the first time and are smaller than the old wording implied; the record now says so rather than leaving 'damage over time' to sound larger than 7 damage. Updated 2026-08-23. A written guide reports that upgrading the Talent raises both the jump range and the number of Burn stacks, which answers the question of whether Burn arrived only at the final rank: it scales. The unknown is narrowed rather than removed — nothing states what the intermediate ranks grant, and four stacks is still evidenced only at maximum. The rest of that guide's account matches what was already recorded, which is worth having: the cost line and the no-Overwatch property had been single-source until now.
