Ranked by evidence
Builds with confirmed synergies
Nobody has played this game yet, so nobody can tell you the best build. What we can do is separate the squads built on interactions the developers described from the ones built on reasoning.
No build on this site has been tested
This page will be replaced with tested rankings after release on 27 August 2026, including the version and difficulty each squad was tested at. Until then, treat “confirmed synergy” as the strongest claim available — it means the mechanic is real, not that the squad is optimal.
