Star Wars Zero Company: Buffs & Debuffs Explained | Combat Guide

Learn how buffs, debuffs and defensive effects work in Star Wars Zero Company—and how to use them to plan a better turn. This combat guide explains effect counters, damage reduction, protective charges, critical hits, assists and crowd control, with practical decisions for your squad. We cover common effects such as Morale, Stimulant, Scanned and Burning, plus character-specific mechanics including Tel-Rea's Harmony and Cly's Dart. Illustrated with my own PS5 gameplay and reference cards. The special enemy chapters contain minor enemy-type spoilers.
