A Squad Leader is one of the middle tier Alien Ranks and is exculsive to Terror From the Deep. It is somewhat equivalent to the Navigator Alien Rank in Enemy Unknown. They are the second most common Alien Rank, and will appear on all Alien Subs except the Survey Ship.
In combat a Squad Leader has only slightly superior fighting skills to a Soldier. Tasoths Squad Leaders, however, are significanrly stronger than Soldiers and also boast a powerful M.C attack. This makes them arguably the most powerful non-Terrorist aliens in the game.
Deployment
Notes:
- Races who do not have Navigators, Medics or Commanders will use Squad Leaders in their place. This is not reflected in the table below. Most notably, Tasoth subs will have significantly more Squad Leaders present.
