Directives

Choose a free tactical effect for your ranked Squad, or play without a Directive.

Each Directive can trigger only once.

Five effects

Breach opens a defense, Firewall softens a heavy strike, Execution finishes a weakened target, Survival Mode strengthens the last Unit, and Overload boosts the opening assault.

Ranked battles

Directives apply only in ranked PvP and counterattacks. They are inactive in friendly battles, PvE, simulations, and Operations.

No purchase

They are free, have no level or rarity, and are optional. The mechanics are identical for both players.
