Almost every enemy in the game will kill you with a single attack, and you’re constantly outnumbered.
Despite this every battle can be won with style and panache, including a couple of deliberately unfair ones.
Most tracking enemies can beleft for last if you’re safely behind cover.
Warlocks and grenadiers have large-area attacks thatcan be entirely ignored as long as you’re able to keep moving.
The early game example you’ll be given is Jen’s Gale Grenade.
The only ability that properly stops you from taking other actions is Zan’s Predictive Shot.
He becomes locked into place until it activates and prevents his Supportive Fire passive from triggering.
One late-game puzzle level you will actively want to avoid activating Zan’s Supportive Fire.
Predictive Shot can be used here toprevent him from acting out of turn.
A good example of this is mission objectives that require you to use spells in a certain way.
Prioritise Blocking Reinforcements
Many maps have more reinforcement doors than you have wizards.
To avoid being overrun you want tofocus on getting someone in position to close those doors.
Zan’s Useful Fiction upgrade lets his clones interact with objects.
This lets them not only draw fire but also participate in hacking turrets and blocking doors.
Depending on your difficulty configs, this can also refund the mana cost.
The most important point to remember is that trackingenemies won’t change the target once the foresight phase ends.
Use abilities like Transference only after you know exactly how the enemy is going to act on a turn.
Enemies on overwatch behave differently to enemies with tracking shots.
The character who makes the most use of sight lines is Dall.
Early on this isn’t important but the moment you unlock your third-party member it becomes a vital technique.
Non-human entities like turrets and grenades will typically act first, followed by enemies with magically augmented speed.
They’re still great fun and an easy way to gain Confidence for unlocking outfits.
If you struggle to complete a specific dream goal, leave it for later.
The most reliable examples are Impaling Vines with the Quicksprout upgrade and False Prophet with the Persistent Delusion upgrade.
Quicksprout resets the action cost of impaling vines if an ally is targeted.
Persistent Delusion refunds False Prophet’s mana cost if the clone dies.
Quicksprout can also be paired with Rampage 2, swinging Dall about like a yo-yo.
Into The Breach is a challenging game, but these essential tips will help you master it.
