SBN quick matchup
| Question | Working answer | Confidence rule |
|---|---|---|
| What damage should I expect? | Energy and beam; Electromagnetic | Prepare for these signals, then check the weapon carried by the live unit. |
| What may it resist? | Cold; Poison; Radiation | A faction trend or stage modifier is not a substitute for the inspected stat line. |
| What should I try first? | Fire | These counters are directly supported for this profile. |
| Where does this apply? | Any faction facility | Location narrows encounter context but does not guarantee this exact unit. |
| Dataset confidence | Source-verified relationship | Partial means at least one side of the matchup remains unit-dependent or undocumented. |
OFFICIAL GAMEPLAYTurn the profile into a safer loadout
- 01
Protect against the documented threat
Compare your armor with Energy and beam, Electromagnetic. Do not let a high total armor number hide a zero in the channel this opponent actually uses.
- 02
Carry one counter and one fallback
Use Fire as the first supported counter direction, then carry a mechanically different fallback for an unusual unit or mixed floor.
- 03
Inspect before the first expensive shot
Open the live target panel and compare the exact resistances, equipment, health, and status modifiers. The current client outranks a static guide.
- 04
Re-evaluate when the floor changes
Faction technology, mixed encounters, wounds, and Quasimorphosis stages can change the next room even when the mission label stays the same.
Failure signals to avoid
These are the shortcuts most likely to invalidate the briefing.
- Radiation as the only answer
- Ignoring energy protection on your own armor
- Treating a faction tendency as an identical stat line for every unit.
- Ignoring the current patch, technology tier, or Quasimorphosis modifier.
