How Action Points Work
AP planning, movement, attacks, and when to spend a turn repositioning instead of forcing a low-value shot.
Question IntentTactics ModuleQuick Answer
Count AP before moving. The deeper rule is to make every action support survival, tempo, or objective progress instead of chasing raw damage.
Practical Checklist
- Count AP before moving.
- Use cover moves first, then spend remaining AP on confirmed damage.
- Treat AP refreshes as a finisher tool, not a panic button.
