Ability Selection

Notes on enemy AI:	While in a given battle stage, enemies will attempt to use First Choice abilities. If impossible (due to focus, silencing or cooldowns), they will proceed to Second Choice, etc. Cooldown for enemies indicates how often abilities may be used, and is effectively one less than for Sonny (IE cooldown of 2 can be used every second turn) Enemy-targetting abilities have a chance of targetting the weakest enemy rather than targetting at random; this is given in the Attributes section above. Ally-targetting abilities always target the weakest targetable ally. Selection within a category is random unless indicated. All exceptions noted below.
Battle Stages	First Choice	Second Choice	Third Choice

Tactics

• When Cover Fire stacks up two times, this will your reduce damage dealt by 140%, causing you to always deal 1 damage to your target.
• Beware of Setup and Nightstick/Shrapnel combos; these can do a lot of damage quite quickly. This is especially the case when there are two of them. Counter with Restore, Reform or Free Will for each of the classes respectively. For the psychological, it may be worth having the ability Overdrive.
• It is worth having a slot with Adrenaline or Restore to counter pepper spray, if you are a biological or hydraulic class (respectively), since it can dispel poison debuffs.
• Watch out for Perfect Aim -- stun abilities are useful here.
• The biological Disrupt, the hydraulic Regulate, and the psychological Shock Therapy can be useful for dispelling their buffs: Perfect Aim and First Aid. It may be worth having a slot with one such ability.
• The riot shield is useful for surviving their attacks; the lavastone barrier is also good, lower down the levels.
• Hydraulics should make use of Mind Freeze -- it makes these guys significantly less dangerous.
