Team Powers

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Team powers, also known as synergies, are a special mechanic activated by creating a deck with a certain combination of units. When the required amount of said team's members are used in a deck, their special effect will be activated during a mission. It might positively change the way units function as a whole or grant them a bonus that activates under a condition. Some team powers only affect their respective members while others grant a bonus to an entire deck. A team power's activation is always indicated by a sound cue, and the team's icon below the courage and rage bars will briefly flash. The team's icon also briefly flashes over the recipient or subject of the power's effect.

In general, team powers follow a formula of three tiers:

  • The 1st, activated by two units: a non-conditional passive effect;
  • The 2nd, activated by three units: an effect that becomes active once three different units from the same team are present on field at once;
  • The 3rd, activated by five units: a stronger non-conditional passive effect;

Units that belong to a team have their respective icon in the left corner of their deck portrait. Most units can use skins to get access to a different team. Currently, not every human unit or skin is assigned a team.

Articles related to team powers only provide information about their mechanics. For information about how well they perform, see Team Power Rankings.

Skins

Chopper's skin selection screen

Skins are special cosmetics that change units' team affiliation, as well as their appearance. Players have an option to switch between skins by checking the unit's stats menu and tapping on the arrows.

Majority of the skins can be purchased with either skin tokens (classs=pixelated), or green cash (Cash.png). They are available at any time in each unit's menu, with only a few exceptions locked behind seasonal offers. Other skins can only be acquired from cases obtainable in annual events.

Some skins are bundled together in packs at a discount. This offer only applies to units that have more than one skin available for use. If a unit only has one skin, then the offer will feature that unit alongside the cosmetic. Such variants are only available if the player doesn't own the advertised unit, and will evaluate said unit in green cash instead of coins.

In general, most purchasable skins are worth 300 Cash.png / 5,000 classs=pixelated. However, Officer Pepper and 1998 are worth 120 Cash.png / 2,000 classs=pixelated, and Hillbilly is worth 20 Cash.png.

Team Powers List

The below table provides a list with all existing teams, and their synergies and members.

Some descriptions of bonuses are misleading, or provide an inadequate or incomplete explanation of how the synergy actually works. Additionally, certain powers suffer from bugs and might not function correctly. Please make sure to consult each teams' individual article to get proper understanding of how they work. The below table only lists synergy descriptions provided in-game by developers.

Notes

  • Currently, a developer oversight causes all support items and units created by abilities to be level 0, unless the player has them in their deck. This affects Turrets in Mechanics 3/3, Medkits in IF 3/3, Drones in Scientists 3/3, Builders 2/2 and 3/3, TMF 3/3, College 5/5, and Emergency 5/5.

Trivia

  • There was a planned team power called "Xmas" for Christmas Cashier, Christmas Mechanic, and Christmas Welder that was scrapped for unknown reasons.
  • College is the only team to have no normal units, being made up entirely of units' alternate skins. This also makes College the most expensive team to acquire in terms of money/skin tokens.
  • Northerners contain the most amount of skins/units that cannot be earned under regular means, totaling up to six out of the nine current members.
    • Both Worthy and Nurse Hirsch skins for Redneck and Medic respectively, and both Turbo and Andrea can only be earned during the Halloween Event as very rare crate drops.
    • Lester can only be earned during the Christmas Event as a very rare crate drop.
    • Carol Flannel is a timed-exclusive skin only available for a few days during the US Thanksgiving Holiday.
