Love, Lies, and Loadouts: Picking Your Perfect ASCENDANT Squad
Ah, February, the month of love, heartbreak, and regrettable late-night texts to your ex. But in ASCENDANT, the only relationships that matter are the ones forged in strategy (and the occasional accidental team kill). Whether you're a well-oiled team or a lone wolf trying to prove you're better off without backup, it's time to break down what makes (or breaks) a winning squad.
[h2]The Combat Roles[/h2]
Finding the right squadmates is like dating (if dating involved high-powered weapons and the possibility of being vaporized). You need balance, trust, and someone who won’t ghost you mid-fight. So, who’s on your dream team?
💥 All-Rounder – A jack-of-all-trades, good at everything, master of nothing. Solid choice, but don’t expect them to carry you.
🎯 Sniper – The silent type. Prefers long-range engagements and “safe fights.” Likely to say, “I had the shot” after you’ve already died.
💪 Close Quarter Fighter – Aggressive, in-your-face, and probably a bit unhinged.
🔥 Chaos Fighter – Bombs, flames, destruction - oh my! Fantastic for causing mayhem but terrible for keeping a relationship (or squad) stable.
❌ What Not to Do: Three team members who only play these aggressive roles. That’s a recipe for heartbreak and getting annihilated in record time.
[h2]The Support Roles[/h2]
💊 Healers – The real MVPs. They keep your mistakes from being fatal.
🛑 Suppression – Area denial specialists who make sure enemies stay miserable.
💣 Long Range Support – Cluster ammo gods. Provides covering fire, ensures snipers don’t get lonely.
[h2]The Tactical Roles[/h2]
🌲 Foresting/Gatherers – Prefer the quiet life, hunting wildlife, and racking up power. Not the best for fast engagements but critical for long-term survival.
👀 Scouts – Eyes and ears of the operation. Locate Biocores, call out enemy movement, and keep everyone informed.
🟠 Biocore Carrier – The person who gets all the attention (and bullets). Having a healer to back them up is a really good idea.
[h2]What’s Your Situationship?[/h2]
💌 Party Up (aka Play With Friends) – Communication is better, betrayals sting more.
🐺 Lone Wolves – Going solo? Turn off autofill and get extra lives. No need for a third wheel.
⚔ Rush Teams – Sprint for Biocores while others are still deciding which guns to grab. Risky, but rewarding.
⏳ Play for Late Game – Let the chaos unfold, gather intel and power, then dominate when it matters most… at minutes 6 and 12, ofc.
🤝 Strangers in the Night – Entering with randoms? Don’t worry—matchmaking will pair you with players of similar skill. Will it be love at first kill, or a squad you regret swiping right on?
No toxic relationships, no dead weight, just the sweet, chaotic symphony of teamwork (or glorious solo survival). So, who are you taking into battle? Choose wisely, or get left swiping at death.
