Research evidence

Original researched interpretation; balance requires playtesting. Generic portraits are not canonical likenesses. Ability packages do not automatically grant SPAs or SCAs.

Documented · high confidence: The Bears revised their invasion plans after early setbacks, fought determinedly for objectives, and used mutually supporting formations including substantial Elemental contingents. Sources: invading, era3052

Inference · medium confidence: Original Cohesive Breakthrough archetype: the precise priority ordering, five states, thresholds, initiative/token orders and support timing are authored interpretations, not published Clan rules. Uses armor and short-range threats to establish pressure; reacts quickly to a threatened rear. Sources: invading, era3052

Inference · medium confidence: Thematic limitation: Heavy-firepower focus can overlook fast low-damage objective runners; the coordinated profile spends support early when cohesion is threatened. Sources: invading, era3052

Inference · medium confidence: Rules lens: Esprit De Corps and Shielding; SPA Protector/Patient as thematic references only, with no damage interception. The existing Aces token/initiative precedents are used directly as card orders; no SPA or SCA is assigned. Sources: aces, scan0, scan1, hotspots-local
