Notes

The beginner-friendly ranged carry. Run and Gun lets the Soldier move and still fire at full effect, so positioning never costs a turn of damage. Master Tactician converts the party's rising mid and late-game momentum into a large personal damage buff plus group attacks. It scales with the team instead of demanding fiddly setup, which makes it the easiest strong build to pilot on a first run.

Weapons

Leveling Priority

Ballistic Skill then Perception. Take Run and Gun as soon as it unlocks for shoot-move-shoot pressure.
