Building an optimal team involves strategically assigning soldiers to units based on their strengths. Here are some recommended builds:
Early Game Build:
- Combat Unit: Snake + 3 highest C-stat soldiers. Focus on non-lethal weapons.
- Medical Unit: 4 highest M-stat soldiers.
- Technical Unit: 4 highest T-stat soldiers. Prioritize developing the Mk. 22.
- Spy Unit: 4 highest S-stat soldiers.
Mid-Game Stealth Build:
- Combat Unit: Snake + 3 soldiers with high C-stats and stealth-oriented skills (if available). Equip tranquilizers and silenced weapons.
- Medical Unit: Focus on M-stat soldiers with recovery-boosting skills.
- Technical Unit: Prioritize developing advanced silenced weapons and stealth items (e.g., Stealth Camo blueprint).
- Spy Unit: Maximize S-stats for wider radar coverage and enemy intel.
Late-Game Combat Build:
- Combat Unit: Snake + 3 soldiers with maxed C-stats and combat-oriented skills. Equip assault rifles, shotguns, and explosives.
- Medical Unit: Maintain a strong Medical Unit for quick recovery after intense firefights.
- Technical Unit: Develop the most powerful weapons and armor.
- Spy Unit: Still useful for pre-mission intel, but less critical if you plan on direct engagement.
Regularly review your team's performance and adjust assignments as new, better soldiers are recruited. train soldiers to improve their stats over time.
