What it needs

In the squad
Scoundrel — Identify Weakness · Sharpshooter — Precision Shot
The builder checks
A Scoundrel and a Sharpshooter in the same squad.

Mechanism

Why it works

Identify Weakness applies Vulnerable to an enemy, and the next attack against that enemy critically hits. This is a guarantee rather than a raised chance, which is what makes it worth saving for the squad's largest hit rather than spending on its next one.

Precision Shot cannot miss and carries a critical damage bonus reported at +50% at maximum rank. Stacking a guaranteed critical onto an attack that is already guaranteed to land removes both rolls from the squad's biggest single hit.

The developer recommends the setup explicitly, which is why it is recorded as an evidenced interaction rather than an obvious combination two abilities happen to permit.

Cost

What it gives up

Two Operators and two actions spent on one enemy. Against a group, the same Action Points spread across several targets almost certainly do more.

In practice

Squads built on this

Curated builds whose four Operators trigger this finding in the Squad Builder. Derived from the same engine, so the two lists cannot disagree.

What we don't know yet

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

  • Whether Vulnerable is consumed by any attack or only by a damaging one — which decides whether an ally can waste the setup.
  • Whether the two Vulnerable stacks at Identify Weakness' final rank can be spent by two different Operators.
  • Precision Shot's +50% critical damage figure is one previewer's screen reading, and it is the number this pairing is argued from.
