Although each SL has a Promotion Cost Factor, the cost factor is aligned with the SL Rating:

			* '''1-Star SLs: 0.8 Promotion Cost Factor.''' The least costly to promote. ''(Examples: [[Marta Carda]], [[Garry Boganwright]])''
			* '''2-Star SLs: 1.0 Promotion Cost Factor.''' Essentially the baseline in promotion cost. ''(Examples: [[Edwin Pike]], [[Tech]])''
			* '''3-Star SLs: 1.3 Promotion Cost Factor.''' The costliest characters to promote. ''(Examples: [[Jane Darby]], [[Achilleas Kainoo]])''

			Although the differences are minor at first, they become more significant at higher ranks, resulting in a gap which could take several missions to cover.

			''Note: Although [[Charles Lim]] has a Promotion Cost Factor of 1 like the other 2-Star SLs, his [[Perks#Unique Perks\|unique starting perk]] reduces promotion costs by 30% anyway, without changing Promotion Cost Factor, making his promotions the cheapest of all SLs.''
