	Scars are markers of the battle trauma suffered by units after particularly tough combat. Agents receive Scars any time they are reduced to the Bleeding Out state during a Mission. There is also a chance to receive a Scar if an agent was gravely wounded (their health has dropped to below half). Scars weaken one of a ~~unit’s~~ stats and can seriously impact their effectiveness in battle. Scars can be mended by sending the agent to [[Training (Chimera)\|Training]]. Otherwise, Scars will linger from Mission to Mission, for long periods of the campaign, before mending on their own. Scarred agents who are reduced to Bleeding Out again either suffer a new Scar or a deepening of their existing Scar. A deepened Scar inflicts a greater stat debuff.

	Androids are robotic soldiers that can serve in Tactical Missions in place of agents. Androids are generally weaker than an agent but are expendable and can be lost without triggering Mission failure. If an agent falls Unconscious during a Mission, you can assign an Android to fill in for them during the next ~~Breach~~. Androids give you a better chance of completing Missions despite agent losses. They can be upgraded to improve base stats and equipped with ~~weapons~~, ~~armor~~, and ~~standard utility~~ items.

	Thanks to their unique nature, Chimera Squad Agents cannot be killed in action. Instead of dying, they will always start to Bleed Out, should they run out of HP.
