Notes[ | ]
- Your Captain's death is a mission failure at lower difficulty levels, and is game over at higher difficulties.
- The kill X enemies with a single attack requires that many kills to trigger, not X+. e.g. 5 kills in one attack will not complete any of the other challenges.
- The kill count is only updated at the end of each turn, so you must manually track your kill streak to see if you're able to reach the higher challenges.
- Master (Class) requires all relics and class specific upgrades be purchased. Generic ones such as heavy infantry 4 and melee specialist 3 do not count, as they are not tied to a class.
