Legend
Tactics Cards vary in impact, and are categorized accordingly into three Tiers: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
Additionally, some Tactics Cards are marked with a symbol indicating the card may only be taken in certain circumstances;
these are described below:
Α : Alpha Tier
Some Tactics Cards are very situational but can have a major effect upon a battle when applicable, while others introduce
something into play on the battlefield that can change the game state in a dramatic way, and still others affect many fighters
simultaneously, and so on. Well timed usage of most Alpha Tier Tactics Cards has the potential to swing a battle.
In some campaign types, how many Alpha Tier Tactics Cards a gang is permitted to take in their Tactics Cards decks is restricted.
Β : Beta Tier
Some Tactics Cards are specialized, strong but narrow in their application, or simply in between the power level of Alpha Tier and Gamma Tier cards.
In particular, Beta Tier Tactics Cards often help specific gang fighters push their speciality or fulfill a role for their gang.
Other Beta Tier Tactics Cards can help a gang cover a gap in their tactical capabilities, or grant some form of action advantage,
or mitigate particularly bad outcomes.
In some campaign types, how many Beta Tier Tactics Cards a gang is permitted to take in their Tactics Cards decks is restricted.
Γ : Gamma Tier
Some Tactics Cards are generally applicable, easy to play, consistent in what they offer; the majority of Tactics Cards fall into this category.
While not as dramatic as Alpha Tier cards, or as specialized as Beta Tier cards, these Tactics Cards are reliable and flexible.
Ω : Zone Mortalis Only
Some Tactics Cards are only applicable for the twisting tunnels, locked doors, ductways, and pitfalls of Zone Mortalis battlefields or hybrid battlefields that include such features.
≠ : Sector Mechanicus Only
Some Tactics Cards are only applicable for the multi-leveled verticality of Sector Mechanicus battlefields or hybrid battlefields that include such features.
Φ : Skirmish Only
Some Tactics Cards are not appropriate for campaign play, and should only be used for skirmishes.
Ψ : Campaign Only
Some Tactics Cards only make sense during campaign play where fighters and gangs evolve over multiple battles, and thus have no relevance to skirmish battles.
