Talent

Zero Company Final Shot Talent

Jae Mordant's fixed Talent: it automatically finishes off enemies already below a health threshold.

Confirmed

Confidence: Confirmed
Verified: 20 August 2026
Version: pre-release (no retail build)

Quick answer

Once per turn, when another Operator's attack leaves an enemy below a health threshold, Jae immediately fires and finishes them off — from anywhere on the map, before the triggering Operator's action has resolved. The shot cannot miss. Ranks raise the threshold. It does nothing while she is Downed.

Available to: Jae Mordant only — fixed, and it persists across every Specialization
Cost: Passive — no cost
First rank: Executes an enemy left on 4 health or less.
Max rank: Executes an enemy left on 10 health or less.
Tags: multi-target, single-target

Build value

What this Talent is actually for

A free execution every turn, with no range limit and no chance of missing, which makes it worth the most in squads that leave wounded enemies standing — area damage from Rocket Strike or Sweeping Salvo manufactures exactly the targets it triggers on. The strategic point is that it is indifferent to everything else about her: it works on any Specialization, with a pistol, rifle, repeater or long arm, so no class amplifies it and no class wastes it. That is why she is the most flexible authored Operator on the roster — give her whatever the squad is short of and Final Shot keeps running underneath. The one real constraint is that it stops while she is down, so she is the wrong Operator to gamble with.

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.

Soldier
Rocket Strike leaves a group of survivors on low health, which is exactly the state Final Shot triggers on.
Assault
Sweeping Salvo damages a whole cone without killing much of it, so it manufactures the low-health targets this Talent cleans up for free.

What we don't know yet

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

The thresholds at the ranks between 4 and 10 health.
Whether it can also trigger on damage the enemy takes on its own turn — Burn, or a hazard — or only on an Operator's attack.
Whether line of sight is genuinely irrelevant, or only appeared to be in the fights observed.
Whether it consumes ammunition.
Whether the once-per-turn limit rises with rank. An earlier source described ranks raising the number of shots per turn, and this one describes them raising the threshold instead.

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. Three things this record wanted are now published — the thresholds (4 health rising to 10), that it fires on the squad's turn as an interrupt inside another Operator's action, and that it costs nothing. One thing got *less* certain rather than more, and the unknowns say so: the older source has ranks raising the shots per turn, this one has them raising the threshold and describes the limit as once per turn throughout. Both are tier 3 or better and they are not obviously compatible, so neither is written as settled. The pairings below are no longer speculation about a character with no class — she starts as an Assault and can be changed — but they stay as they are, because they were always about what manufactures low-health targets, and that reasoning is unaffected by what she happens to be wearing.
