Description

The next update will introduce a consequential revamp of Support Powers. Mainly, there are two big changes.

1. Most SP had a "player readability" overhaul. As shown here, some SP will mark their target with a unique animation, sometimes visible to the player only, sometimes visible to everyone. Also, an audio cue will alert players when an offensive SP is used, to make players aware of an imminent attack (but you won't know exactly where it is taking place).

2. Tiered SP are introduced : while you climb the Techtree, some SP will upgrade along with it. For instance, the USA unique DropPod SP will change based on your highest technological building on the battlefield. Once the Airfield is deployed, you'll gain access to the Hawk Squad, which has limited amount of units. When the Battle Lab is operational, the Eagle Squad will replace it, allowing you to deploy more units via DropPods. Finally, building a specific T5 building will convert the Eagle Squad to the Pheonix Squad, with even more units deployed (has seen here). The Paradrop SP available from the Tech Airfield will obey to the same logic, in an attempt to make it more useful late-game, as will some other SP in the future.
