Reading cards is free and pauses combat. Review misses or explore a topic before your next run. Reviewing does not award drones or XP.
Learn between the action.
Each wave refit adds one standard drone charge and restores up to 15 core and 20 hull. Bash questions can add up to two bonus charges per break. A wrong answer gives an explanation; you can continue without a bonus or skip the quiz. Maximum reserve: eight charges. Maximum active drones: three, lasting 14 seconds each.
Checkpoints save at wave starts and during briefings. Reloading returns to the latest checkpoint, not to an exact combat frame. New run replaces the current checkpoint. Campaign completion and best scores stay earned.
