Pax Autocratica Combat and Ammo Guide

The field checklist

1. Read the Hazard Index and mission objective. Not every encounter is just an arena clear.
2. Command the squad. Allied soldiers are part of the combat model, not cosmetic followers.
3. Watch resist feedback. ‘Ineffective’ indicates resisted attacks; tanks and some enemies use weak-point behavior.
4. Protect the ammo loop. The June update states that melee kills always drop ammunition. Treat this as a recovery tool, not proof of infinite ammo.
5. Use temporary supply drops. Health orbs, Super Potions, Healing Grenades, shields, and revival items appear in official balance notes.
6. Switch goals deliberately. Killing, surviving, capturing, and protecting troops may demand different weapons and Cores.

Difficulty names confirmed

Official notes name Relaxed, Standard, Demanding, and Punishing. Balance updates have changed modifiers, enemy bonuses, drops, capture behavior, and battle difficulty. A recommendation must therefore show its difficulty and date.

Current known issue

AG-12 lists one known issue: pressing V does not properly open the battle statistics interface. Check newer official maintenance notes before applying a workaround.
