Star Wars Zero Company Builds: Operators & Squad Plans

Choose Star Wars Zero Company builds by the problem your squad needs to solve: Trick for frontline pressure, Tel-Rea for repositioning, Kabb for a prepared melee finish, Cly for linked-target control, Jae for low-health cleanup, and Luco for ranged damage. Use a Medic or Scout Hawks to cover the support job your other three picks leave open.

Build rules to check in Patch 1.2

Cly now has three Darts and one Jump per turn. Astromechs have three Comlink uses at maximum rank and two Self-Repairs per combat. Scout's Tactical Timing ends at 80%, with generation restricted to ranged and melee attacks. Budget the turn from existing AP and Advantage, then keep a useful ordinary attack if a passive gain fails.

EA's October 15 Patch 1.2 announcement was checked October 16. These are baseline changes. Optional Campaign Modifiers can further restrict generation, assists and respecs; check them before following a class-swap recommendation.

Choose an Operator guide

Meevo/M-3VO is the Caisson's crew droid; the support guide explains the separately recruited Astromech. Talents and recruitment are not interchangeable between those characters.

Plan four jobs before four talent trees

Use the planner to change Hawks’ specialization, add custom recruits, mark active Campaign Modifiers, and share the result. Changes save in this browser; a shared link loads its configuration without replacing your saved squad until you edit it. Check setup, damage, control, AP support and ally healing separately. These are planning roles, not hidden game stats. If your squad already has two reliable finishers, another expensive ultimate can compete for Advantage while a Medic or Scout solves the actual bottleneck. See four example squads and replacement rules.

Spend AP and Advantage on the same plan

Each Operator starts with three AP. The AP guide explains movement, variable weapon costs and Overwatch. Advantage is shared, so spending it with one Operator can prevent another's setup.

A practical sequence is to pick the target first, prepare its health or position, then commit the finisher. Kabb's Uppercut refunds its activation AP on a kill; wall contact alone does not establish that refund. An Astromech's Built-In Comlink spends one AP to grant one ally AP. Check those conditions before moving either unit into danger.

For Cly and Luco, reserve the shared resource for the action that matters to the objective. A turn can fail even when each build is individually sound if both assume they get the same remaining Advantage.

Change the build when the mission changes

• An unreachable target: swap a close-range slot for a Sharpshooter rather than forcing a dangerous approach.
• Repeated injuries: keep a reachable Medic and a healthy replacement; consult recovery planning.
• An attack is one AP short: compare a shorter move against Comlink support before changing the whole damage tree.
• An objective requires an Operator: meet the mission condition before optimizing the optional slots.

In Personnel, change one priority at a time and inspect the new costs. Compare whether the revision reaches a target, avoids an injury or secures the objective. A single large damage number does not answer all three questions.

Sources and review

Base role sources checked October 8, 2026: EA's gameplay and facilities guide, the Epic Operator guide, and the ability records linked on the individual pages. Patch 1.2 rules were checked October 16. Planner mission requirements and repeated Astromech slots were checked October 17 against the EA developer Q&A. Pairings and squad comparisons are editorial recommendations. Review dates describe source checks, not independent playtests; update records keep patch scope separate.
