How To Easy Mode Your Expert Beskar Run

Just finished my second playthrough and first Expert Beskar run while managing not to lose a single operator. Following this simple guide, you can easily tackle this challenge.

Step 1: Make your Hawke a Medic.

Step 2: Play slow and safe through the first couple of missions until you get BR-1, as this is where you're going to be the most vulnerable. Always protect Hawke since it's the only real risk I see you having of ending your run.

Step 3: Get BR-1 and immediately swap out Papa, because why have a cyborg when you can get a Borg.

Step 4: Swap out smoke grenades for firebombs, because smokes did nothing to aid my operators. Firebombs will let you dish out more damage and reduce the defense of tankier units.

Step 5: Get Cly and swap out Trick (He knows what he did). Cly with pistols and darts will help backfill BR-1 when the grenades run out. All your units should have a grenade utility or stim equipped.

Step 6: Cruise for a while by using the move order of

• Stim non-droids using Hawke
• Firebomb or impact the largest group of enemies to get Advantage to 10
• Use the morale boost from Hawke.
• Use your grenades and attacks with Jae and Cly. You want to hit as many units as possible to refill advantage.
• Get to 10 adv again and use BR-1's additional AP ability and either clean up the remaining units, fall back to cover, or go into overwatch.
• Use your best AOE abilities to clean up any reinforcements.
• Once those run out, use BR-1 to give either Cly or Jae additional AP to get more shots off. Prioritize Cly because it's a cheap 1-to-1 use for blaster shots and a higher crit chance. Jae's passive will trigger a ton this way.

Step 7: Prioritize any raw stat upgrades and ultimate upgrades. You're going to want to make sure you're getting 3 weapon mods and, if you can, 3 utility items for all your units (I only managed to get 2 utilities, but I think you can manage to get 3 and 3, if not more). Focus on Range stat buffs and utility buffs, as these are your bread and butter. Specialize your units this way

• Hawke into scoundrel to target bigger units
• Cly into gunslinger to take advantage of the quick shot ability and stat increases to crit chance and damage.
• Jae into Soldier for the rocket launcher ultimate.

Step 8: Get your units the best utility and weapon options you can.

• BR-1 needs Prototype Imploder, Concussions, and firebombs
• Get Cly or Jae the Scattergun (Maybe both?)

Step 9: Profit?

Using this foolproof method, I breezed through most missions, only getting units injured when fighting the following enemies

• Droidekas: they do a ton of damage, and my units just kept missing overwatch shots on them. RNG gave me a couple of encounters where the reinforcement would come in as a Droideka.
• Trilla: Dear God, do not try to fight her; just run away. Cly and Tel got downed in this fight, and this was the closest I've come to ending my run because I thought I could do enough damage to her to end the encounter. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. DO NOT TRY. Just use Overwatch on her nonstop after clearing mobs with the strategy above.
• Typhon: The mobs are a pain, and they don't stop coming. DEAL WITH THE DROIDEKAS FIRST; everything else is kind of trivial even if they are firing retaliation shots.
