In General

Incursion Strength is a measure of the number of aliens that will be sent to each mission. Higher incursion strengths means more aliens on missions.

Incursion Strength increases as XCOM performs well and decreases if they perform poorly.

A soldier dies with a rank greater than either the number of months passed or 5 (SGT) -4% (modified by campaign length)
A country is lost to the aliens -12%
A successful Alien Base Assault Maxed
  • Incursion Strength is capped between a minimum of 80% and a maximum of 130%
  • Incursion Strength at 130% will be denoted with an additional + sign on landed UFO, terror, and abduction missions
