gains one Experience card at the start of
the Marine Phase on every fifth turn (i.e.
turn five, ten, fifteen, etc.).
A player can choose a Level 1 card from
any of the Paths. To gain a Level 2 card
they must already have a Level 1 card from
the same Path for each Level 2 card they
want. So if a player already has a Level 2
Gunner card and wants a second Level 2
Gunner card, they must have at least two
Level 1 Gunner cards. To gain a Level 3

MIX AND MATCH PATHS
When picking Experience cards you can
choose cards from any Path. Picking from
multiple paths will give you a well-rounded
Character, while progressing down a
single Path will give you a more focused
Character. The choice is yours.
LOSING/CHANGING
CHARACTERS
When your Character dies or you change
Characters, your Experience cards
transfer to your new Character. This
represents your new Character stepping
up to fill the vacant role.
 FIRETEAMS
At the start of a mission, the players choose
up to six Characters to field in their Fireteam.
The players then each choose which
Characters they want to play, flipping them
from their Grunt side to their Hero side.
Any remaining Characters are not in the
game and are held in reserve for later
missions. You can change which Characters
are in reserve at the start of a new mission.
NEWT
Newt must be fielded in Campaign Missions,
unless she has been captured or killed, or
the mission states otherwise. Newt is fielded
in addition to the six Characters you select
for the mission.
Newt is not used in Bug Hunt Missions.
A BALANCED FIRETEAM
It is a good idea to have a mix of combat
and supporting Characters in your
Fireteam. An imbalanced Fireteam can lead
to defeat. Too many fighters may leave you
short of technical support, slowing you
down when you hit challenges. Too many
heavy weapons can burn through your
Endurance deck too fast. On the other
hand, too few fighters or heavy weapons
may get you overrun by swarms of Aliens.
Choose wisely!
