Your soldiers need to perform certain tactical manoeuvres during combat. Here are some of the actions that can generate AP.

  • Landing a shot from a flanking position.
  • Ambushing an unaware enemy from cover.
  • Shooting an enemy from an elevated position.
  • Earning a combo kill, by teaming up with a teammate to take down an enemy.

Your soldiers can also earn 5 AP for defeating a Chosen member during any mission they show up in. Covert Ops via the Resistance Ring also have a chance to earn AP. Separate missions via the Resistance Ring that increase soldiers’ Combat Intelligence are also available to earn more AP.
