Start with the basics of the elite team

In Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad, you play as a commander and lead the squad of soldiers to fight enemies in many challenging game modes; starting in campaign mode, then events, arena, daily ops, guild war, underworld and more to earn rewards like crafting material, training tokens, XP, auto win tokens, intel and more. Read the in-game currency guide below for more information.

For battle, you can deploy up to five soldiers and two tactics (combat orders) of your choice. Soldiers use their basic skills, active skills and passive skills by themselves to fight the opposition. Tactics should be entered manually, by you, during battle. As you gain XP and level up, the new content; game modes, features, etc. will be accessible.

Guide to soldiers in Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad

There are two types of soldiers; heroes and villains. Both of these hero types are categorized into three main roles; striker, defender and specialist. Soldiers in the Attack role excel at dealing high damage to opposition fighters. Defender role soldiers lead from the front and use shield + defensive skills to protect teammates. Specialized Role Soldiers possess skills like healing (to restore health), granting buffs to teammates, stunning enemies for some turns, etc. In the top left corner of their profile card, you can check out the role icon.

All of them have a unique set of skills. Go to the main lobby-> tap the soldier button on the bottom left-> tap the soldier to check his profile-> in the profile page, you can check his skills.

Get new characters in Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad

To unlock or get new soldier characters in Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad, you will need their “information”. For example, to get “ASH”, you’ll need Intel Ash x160. You can check out the best characters in this Elite Squad tier list. The higher a soldier’s star level, the more information you’ll need to unlock them.

• 1 Star Soldier – Intel x15
• 2 Star Soldier – Intel x35
• 3 Star Soldier – Intel x60
• 4 Star Soldier – Intel x100
• 5 Star Soldier – Intel x160

Go to the soldier menu -> check the full list of soldiers and their star level – also, you will see how much information / fragments are needed to unlock a particular character. Tap the “find” option to control how to get information about a specific soldier. Usually, you get information from the ORB repository. (Main Lobby -> ORB Storage -> spend gold bars or cash or other currency to get the information boxes). Or some characters’ intel can be farmed by playing the campaign and event modes.

Tips to get stronger in Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad

You have to improve the soldier’s skill level if you want him to perform well in combat. Let’s check out all the ways to get stronger in Time Clancy’s Elite Squad: –

Build a balanced team: Choose two defender role characters, two attacker role characters, and one support role character with healing abilities. Or, adjust to match the stage; go with more attacker role soldiers if you need more firepower, more defenders to be defensive and CC skill specialist who can stun or control enemies with skills. It would be nice if you read the details of the soldiers’ skills – having a great knowledge of their skills helps you to build the team according to the requirements.

Train Soldiers: Training tokens are required to train soldiers. You can get them by completing campaign missions. Note that the soldier’s training level cannot exceed the commander/account level. For example, if you/commander are level 5, soldiers cannot reach level 6.

Star-Up/Rank-Up: This is another way to further develop soldiers and increase stats. To level up or rank up, you will need the same information as the soldier. Go to the soldier’s profile page -> bottom right, above the train button, tap the find option to check the information source for that particular soldier.

Gear-Up: – Gears improve the damage, armor, and magic power stats of soldiers. From campaign missions you will get the “gear crafting material items” which are used to craft the gears. Keep in mind that soldiers equip specific gears, and each one requires different crafting materials. Go to the soldier’s profile page -> in the lower left corner, tap the equipment slot -> equip. Tap the crafting material item to know the acquisition method.

Fill all equipment slots and level up your equipment. Powerful gears are unlocked at higher levels.

Unlock Weapon/Gun: – All Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad soldiers carry a specific weapon available in multiple ranks; common, rare, epic and legendary. On the soldier’s profile page, tap the switch icon on the weapon/gun -> on the next page, you can craft high quality weapons once you have enough material items; you will need blueprints to craft these weapons. Obtain blueprints from campaign missions and events.
