	Strength refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Strength numbers by bringing ~~regularly~~ emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Strength (RS) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Strength (GS) level is the sum of all ~~RSs~~ and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger.

	The RS determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: ~~each~~ level of Strength ~~increases~~ [[Infiltration (LW2)#~~Enemy Strength~~ \| ~~base~~ mission activity level]] ~~by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers~~.		The RS determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: the base level of Strength, plus modifiers such as [[Infiltration_(LW2)\|Infiltration]] or specific mission ones, determines the total pod composition and number of enemies the mission will start with, which is partially indicated by the [[Missions_(LW2)#Enemy_Activity_Level\|mission activity level]].

	While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Strength to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed.
