==Exalt Deployment==
The quantity and quality of the EXALT pods generated during covert ops depends on the current AL and what kind of mission spawned.
Any pod that has a + sign next to it will gain an extra exalt unit of of the same tier for every 20 Incursion Strength above 100 (for example, an IS value of 146 will lead to 2 extra regular or elite exalt soldiers to the biggest pod depending on AL)

Exalt Mechanics

Exalt first shows up a few months into the game (usually in the middle of May), arriving with a cutscene and a small credits sabotage.

Unlike vanilla or LW1.0, Exalt attacks do not automatically reveal a cell, so keeping up with scans is of upmost importance. LWR provides scan reminders that are perfectly accurate, so simply scanning when reminded will always find an Exalt cell. Scans cost 200 credits (modified by campaign length).

Upon being revealed by a scan, Exalt cells can be left alone for a while (~5 days), but will eventually go into hiding again, or perform a debilitating attack if you wait too long.

Attacks can have the following effects:

  • Sabotage: Steals credits (can go into negative credits)
  • Propaganda: Causes panic increase in some country
  • Hack: Increases research time on an ongoing research

An average campaign will have approximately 12 Exalt missions and the Exalt Base Assault (modified by campaign length).
