Written by _Zorbaz

-=Know the Vatforms=-
The first step beyond familiarity with the user interface of Frozen Synapse 2 is 
to understand the capabilities of each vatform. This is a key part of making 
effective plans in Frozen Synapse. Each unit will be briefly reviewed, and key 
points will be highlighted about each unit. Units will behave in the exact same 
way everytime. It should be noted that some units in the city game have 
extraordinary abilities, but this is beyond the scope of this guide. 

-=Short-Range Vatforms=-

How to use: Scopes are a reliable Mid-Long range solution, my favorite unit. 

-=Long-Range Bullet Vatforms=-

Weaknesses: Easily Killed at Short Range, Slow, Long Kill-Time 
How to use: Keep snipers at long ranges, with great views, and no enemy flankers.

Weaknesses: Cannot Shoot, Delaid Rocket Launch, Slow 
How to use: Rockets can be used to reduce a building to rubble, or as a pin-point 
solution. 

-=Know the Mission=-
Generally, all Frozen Synapse Missions can be solved by nutralizing all hostiles. 
This is a pretty way of saying, if they are dead they don't shoot back. 

It is possible to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in many missions by 
completeing the mission objectives even if you are out-numbered and out-gunned. 
Some missions can only be completed by following the objective. There are two 
kinds of battlefields in Frozen Synapse: Multiplayer, and Singleplayer.

Multiplayer Missions are played against other human opponants. There are six 
mission types. They are listed as follows: Exterminate, Charge, Dispute, Secure, 
Hostage, and Bomb Defusal. These mission types will breakdown each of these, 
and provide some suggestions and sound tactics. It is important to remember that 
each mission will be unique, and you will be forced to adapt to changing 
situations in battle. 

Singleplayer Missions are played against the evil AI.

-=Understand the Green & Red=-
It is important to know what options you have in battle; it is also important 
to know what options your opponent has in battle. These options are two sides 
of the same coin. The synergistic effect of explosive units, area-effect units 
and bullet units in a squad cannot be overstated. If the player send a bullet 
vatform through a door, and there is an ambush, then the vatform is dead. But 
if the player use a grenade before the player send the vatform in, or if the 
player use a flamethrower to pin down the enemy unit, then the player have a 
greater chance of success. A core part of Frozen Synapse 2 is a combination of
 unit synergy, flanking movements, explosive management and use of the focus 
diamond. 

Smoke grenades are a powerful tool, they can be used to block line of sight. 
This will stop units outside the smoke from shooting enemy units hidden inside 
or beyond the smoke. If a long range red unit is camped behind cover, you can 
use smoke to safely move across the battlefield. Units inside smoke cannot 
shoot outside, but they can shoot enemies inside the smoke. You can use this, 
try dropping a smoke on top of the enemy position then sending your close range 
unit inside the smoke to kill the enemy that is also inside the smoke. 

Toxic grenades and regular grenades can be used to deny an enemy access through 
a critical area of the battlefield. Grenades have a restricted travel distance 
and explosive radius. Grenades can be bounced off walls, shields, and cover. 
Grenades can also be used offensively to clear out stubborn resistance. Do not 
forget to look for opportunities to catch red units in transit from one point 
to another. Enemies can see grenades when they are fired in dark mode, so do 
not leave your grenadier in the same spot after firing.

Rocket launcher units are the only unit that destroys walls from any distance. 
This ability can be crucial to victory. A tactician should look to destroy 
walls to kill enemy units on the other side of that wall, or to breach the 
enemy defense from an unexpected position. An example of this would be that 
red unit(s) have locked down all the entrances to a room. You can destroy the 
wall, and send your unit(s) into the new opening or whittle them down from a 
distance. A crouched rocket launcher will destroy cover, where as a standing 
rocket launcher will shoot over the cover. 

Flamethrowers and Miniguns are wonderful for locking down door ways. It does 
not matter how many units attack. If they walk into the area of effect, then 
they are dead. You can use AoEs to lock down doorways that you do not want 
enemies coming through. AoEs will cause grenades and rockets to blow up on 
contact with the area of effect. Flamethrowers and Miniguns have limited 
range, and they can be easily killed if they are left in the open. 

Turrets are your long range lockdown the area solution unit. Once they are 
set in place and pointed in the direction of the enemy they will begin to 
rapidly clear any enemies caught in the open. I suggest you use these units 
to deny open areas of the map to the enemy. They are similar to a sniper, but 
they remain immobile while deployed. 

AoE, Turrents and Grenade vatforms cannot move while they are firing. They 
should be protected from long range threats such as Snipers. You should also 
watch out for flanking units, as AoE and Grenade units are easy prey.
