Growth Potential

Growth Potential is a mechanic that enables squad leaders to increase their stats over time. Each attribute is associated with an in-game action that triggers a roll to increase the attribute.

Table 1

Table 2

For instance, damaging an enemy will add a trigger for a weapon skill roll. Each squad leader can only accumulate 15 of these triggers per attribute in each mission. When the mission ends, there will be a roll for each trigger. For each success the attribute will increase for a certain amount (depending on the attribute). Each success will incur a 30% diminishing return over the previous one.

Table 1 indicates the actions needed to trigger and the maximum amount per mission. Note that although it is theoretically possible to succeed in each of the 15 triggers. The diminishing returns case the gain to reach maximum between 5-10 successes depending on the attribute.

The chance to succeed in the trigger is determined by the growth potential and the current attribute value of the squad leader(table 2)
