Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics 

Before jumping into Star Wars Zero Company™, the first thing you need to understand is its core mechanics and how they affect your progression.

In this game, combat is at the heart of the gameplay, featuring a team-based turn system where you control a squad of four Operators in tactical ground battles. Your success depends on good positioning, smart resource management, and using your abilities at the right time. However, before jumping into battles, you should have a clear understanding of the core gameplay mechanics and how they work. So, here are the key gameplay mechanics you should know from our Star Wars Zero Company™ early game guide:

• Squad Size: You can deploy up to four Operators on a tactical mission. Hawks are required for story missions.
• Combat Turns: Your entire squad gets to act first in any order you choose. After your turn ends, the enemy takes its turn.
• Action Points (AP): Each Operator gets 3 AP per turn. You can spend them on moving, shooting, using abilities, setting Overwatch, or throwing utility items such as medkits and grenades.
• Advantage: This is a shared squad resource that you gain by damaging enemies, with a maximum of 10. You can spend Advantage on powerful abilities that cost no AP.
• Cover and Positioning: Partial and full cover reduce the enemy's chance to hit you. Flanking enemies or attacking from high ground improves your attacks. Some cover can also be destroyed.

• Overwatch: You can place an Overwatch cone that automatically attacks enemies when they move or act within its range. Using Overwatch ends the Operator's turn, and the chance of hitting enemies depends on the amount of AP invested.
• Calling for Backup: This is a free action that costs 0 AP. Once per turn, an Operator can call on a randomly selected teammate to assist with their next attack. The assisting Operator must have line of sight to the target. Using this feature also helps strengthen the Bond between the two Operators.
• Injuries and Permadeath: When an Operator reaches 0 HP, they become Downed and receive an Injury. Downed Operators can be Rallied, but receiving three Injuries results in permanent death, except for Hawks.

• Bonds: Fighting alongside the same Operators helps build their relationships. Stronger Bonds can unlock useful combat synergies and cross-training benefits.

Use Action Points Smartly During Your Turn 

As you now know, every Operator in Star Wars Zero Company™ starts their turn with exactly 3 Action Points (AP). AP is the primary resource that controls almost everything an Operator can do on the battlefield, including movement, shooting, abilities, utilities, and Overwatch.

These actions can be performed in any order you want. However, having a proper plan for using your AP during each turn can increase your chances of winning battles. You can use the following tips to spend your AP smartly during your turns:

• Attack first, then move to better cover and finish your turn with Overwatch when possible.
• Save some AP for movement if your chance to hit is low.
• Use Hawks’ unique ability to spend a small amount of Advantage and restore 1 AP for an ally once per turn.
• Astromechs and certain abilities can also restore or transfer AP.
• Avoid wasting AP on low-chance attacks when you can flank the enemy or reach high ground instead.
• Overwatch is often the best way to use your remaining AP at the end of a turn.

Master Covering and Flanking Mechanics

Cover is one of the most important survival tools in Star Wars Zero Company™. There are two types of cover: Partial Cover, which reduces the enemy’s chance to hit you, and Full Cover, which provides even more protection. To get the most out of cover, especially when an Operator has low health, always try to end your move in a safe covered position. However, some cover can be destroyed by explosives or sustained fire, so avoid staying in the same spot for too long.

If you are looking for an easier way to take down enemies, Flanking is one of the best tactics to use. It removes the enemy’s cover bonus and can apply Exposed, which greatly increases your hit and critical chances. Fighting from high ground also improves accuracy. You can combine these tactics by moving around enemies or using knockback abilities from your Operators to push enemies out of cover, eliminate them more easily, and secure key areas.

Beginner Playable Operators 

Operators are playable characters in Star Wars Zero Company™ that you can recruit to build your squad. You start with Hawks, and more Operators become available as you progress through the game. There are seven beginner Operators, each with unique roles and abilities. Choose Operators that best match your preferred combat role and squad needs.

Choose Your Specialization 

Most Operators can choose from eight standard Specializations (also called Operator Classes) while some are locked to one Specialization. Each Specialization provides an Ultimate ability, a Standard ability, and Passives. These Specializations come with different combat styles, so you can shape each Operator to fit the role you need on the battlefield.

Build Your First Four-Operator Squad 

A strong early squad should have a good balance of four key roles: a flexible leader, reliable damage, mobility or control, and long-range support or tankiness. Focus on Operators who work well together, help generate Advantage, and stay safe behind cover.

Keep in mind that Hawks is mandatory for all early story battles and takes up one of the four squad slots. With these details, the table below shows a Star Wars Zero Company™ beginner team for your early story battles.

Get Familiar with Your Den 

The Den is Zero Company’s home base, where you prepare your squad between missions. You can manage your Operators, gear, missions, and recovery here. Mastering it early keeps your squad strong, well-equipped, and ready for every fight.

Below are the key facilities and activities at the Den, with details from our Star Wars Zero Company™ beginner guide:

Holotable 

The Holotable is your main command center. Use it to select Tactical Missions, Operations, and galaxy map activities. It shows all available options for the current Cycle, allowing you to decide where to send your squad for the best rewards and story progress.

Armory - Weapons and Utilities

This is where you set up your weapon and utility loadouts for battles. You can buy upgrades and items using the Credits you earn from missions and Operations. Here, you can choose from four main weapon types, so pick the one that best suits your playstyle and Operator’s role:

• Longarm for long-range precision
• Repeater for heavy close-range firepower
• Rifle for balanced mid-range combat
• Pistol for faster, mobile attacks

You can also add weapon modifications and equip utilities such as medkits, concussion grenades, and impact bombs.

Recruitment

At the Recruitment facility, you can hire new Custom Operators using Credits. These recruits come with their own names, Talents, Specializations, preferred weapons, and backstories. You can further customize them after hiring. Building a strong roster early gives you more options for different mission types and helps cover losses if an Operator falls in battle.

Medbay and Recovery 

After tough battles, head to the Medbay to treat Injuries and help Downed Operators recover. Healing takes time and resources, so manage it carefully. Regular visits will keep your roster healthy and ready for the next deployment.

Tip for Mastering The Den: Visit the Den after every mission. Smart management of the Armory, Holotable, Medbay, and Recruitment facilities turns a good squad into a truly elite company ready to face any tougher battle.
