Each chip cost {{Icon|battery}}x1000, with research time ranging from 5 minutes to assimilate enemy units into our arsenal 1 hour. Tactical chips provide great benefit during battle, and ally only Ringleaders can equip them. Tactical chips are shared among Ringleaders, but one chip can only be equipped on one Ringleader at a time. Commander should be careful on assigning themon which Ringleader. Also, worth to mention that the effects from Weakening or Fighting Spirit chips can stack. This situation is possible through deploying friend support echelon whom Ringleaders are equipped with the same kind of chip.

In general, tactical chips are divided into three categories; '''Strategic''', '''Squad-Buffing''', and '''Aura'''. {| class="gf-table" style= Unlocking =="float: center;text-align:left"|-! Type!

Supposedly, support SF ringleaders might use 1 ammo pip to support an echelon similar to how our HOCs work.*When extracting an SF echelon from a helipad, you'll refund their excess supply costs, for example if you supplied them at the start of the round, and then extracted them from a helipad, you'll get +360 Ammo/Rations back.*When repairing assimilated units, they all possess a fixed minimum repair time of 1hour, even if they've only taking a single point of damage, it'll still take that unit 1hour to repair minimum. Any further damage taken to the unit will increase their overall repair times like Standard T-Dolls, as such their levels also contribute to their increased repair times.{{clr}}=== Dark Star Kernel Shop ===

Coalition units also have different intervals when popping their hearts in the dorms.**Like standard T-Dolls, you can also {{Icon|Oath Certificate}} Oath Ringleaders whenever their affection reaches 100 and can also benefit greatly from affection bonuses due to their higher base stats.
