==Class Overview==

The SPARK is the spiritual successor to the S.H.I.V. and MEC Troopers of Long War 1. Fully robotic, yet able to level up like normal soldiers, and expensive to produce. To build SPARKs, you need to have completed the Shen's Last Gift DLC missions or the [[Proving Ground (TJ)#SPARK|Mechanized Warfare]] project.
SPARKs have their own armor and weapons, and they do not have utility slots like regular soldiers. Through their perks and armor, they can gain an ammo slot and/or a heavy weapon slot, but they are completely unable to equip most utility items, including platings and vests.
SPARKs are more expensive for infiltration. They also can't become Haven advisors, [[Officers_(TJ)|Officers]], or participate in Covert Actions. Similar to other XCOM soldiers, they have the ability to learn additional abilities through the XCOM row but always have average combat intelligence thus limiting their AP to a max of 42.
The SPARK BIT has the ability to remotely hack targets just like the Specialist's GREMLIN.

"Future Combat" type Sparks focuses on gaining various abilities to further improve their utility to support allies or disrupt enemies.

"Mechanical Superiority" type Sparks specialize in extreme durability and absorbing attacks for allies.

"War Machine" type Sparks improves their firing capabilities and fully utilizing their large rifle to wreck havoc.
