In the War of the Chosen expansion, Covert Operations are a new strategic layer. You send a pair of soldiers on a timed mission to gain various rewards, such as Intel, Supplies, or even recruit new Faction Heroes. These operations can also counter Dark Events or reduce the Avatar Project progress. Be mindful of the success chance and potential ambushes during these operations.

Covert Op Benefits:
- Resource Acquisition: Supplies, Intel, Alloys, Elerium.
- Soldier XP: Level up your less-used soldiers.
- Faction Hero Recruitment: Gain powerful new allies.
- Dark Event Counter: Prevent negative ADVENT effects.
- Avatar Project Reduction: Directly slow ADVENT's progress.
