Quick notes

  • Armor absorbs punishment while energy remains. Armor mode improves survival during open combat, but its protection is tied to suit energy.
  • Cloak buys an approach window. Cloak reduces visibility and drains energy, with movement affecting how long the window lasts.
  • Attacking can expose the suit. Firing while cloaked disrupts the concealment plan and can consume the remaining reserve.
  • Recharge is part of the route. After a crossing, pause behind solid cover before beginning the next suit-intensive move.
