Each class has been designed with two main ability builds, Alpha (left side) and Beta (right side). Each build is a combination of abilities designed to fulfill a specific tactical role. Although experienced players will design soldiers according to their own preferences, this article will focus on the basic builds available to each class, and how the different abilities on each one can synergize together.
Assault

- The Scout build is designed for evasion and survival. The two first abilities, Tactical Sense and Lightning Reflexes greatly increase the soldier's defense while Resillience allows him/her to soak hits.

- Lightning Reflexes can be used to prevent an enemy on Overwatch from hitting anyone, by moving the Assault Scout first before the other units.

- XCOM's equivalent of the Bezerker. The Assault is able of killing nearly any alien unit that comes within close range.
