This feature allows Commander to assimilate employ some of the enemy units into our arsenal and ally themforces as playable unit.

Tactical chips provide great benefit during battle, and batteriesonly Ringleaders can equip them. Tactical chips are shared among Ringleaders, Commander but one chip can leave their Reactor only be equipped on one Ringleader at level 9a time. Commander should be careful on assigning them on which Ringleader. Facility level 10 only adds more storage spaceAlso, while worth to mention that the recharge time remains effects from Weakening or Fighting Spirit chips can stack. This situation is possible through deploying friend support echelon whom Ringleaders are equipped with the samekind of chip.**Tactical Chip Development Terminal is used to research ringleader In general, tactical chipsare divided into three categories; '''Strategic''', '''Squad-Buffing''', and '''Aura'''.

It will randomly pick anything which is available in the current pool.**Commanders can expend up to ten tickets at once.**Commanders can obtain the ticket from various means, such as weekly mission, event reward, and premium purchase.**If Commanders aims for a specific unit, it is advised to make the pool small enough before performing this act, reducing the chance of RNG will pick undesirable unit while raising the chance of capturing the desirable one.{{clr}}

This radius can be expanded by another tile with Chip Passives.*Assimilation Echelons are affected by the night battle ACC penalty like our regular echelons, this can be corrected by assigning the respective Chip Passive which negates the echelons ACC penalty by 100%.*When in battle, your Assimilation echelon will engage enemies much like our T-Dolls, assuming you have units occupying the rightmost tilesFor 5* Reinforcement, our Ranged units will have max range they require 200x Petri Dishes and will target anything in our killzonesa min level of 90.*Our units can be separated into 2 distinct classes; Melee and Ranged.

They can lose affection just the same as well, whenever a coalition unit falls or is completely destroyed against regular enemies, they'll lose 10 points of affection whereas everyone else in that formation will lose 5. 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. ([[Destroyer/Assimilated|Destroyer]] having 930 base DMG will result in her getting +93 DMG at 140+ affection)** Unlike standard T-Dolls, you cannot oath 2 star or lower units, but you can raise their affinity to 100 and receive the same affection bonuses as Ringleaders and regular T-Dolls.

== SF Simulations Coalition Drills ==

*There are [[Combat Simulation#Sangvis Cultivation|3 new simulations Commander ]] Commanders can run to further bolster their Coalition units' effectiveness. They all have a fixed cost of 3 simulation energyPotential Energy, and use a separate version from our normal sim energywhich is only used for Coalition Drills. They recharge ** Potential Energy will be fully recharged at the same rate of 1 energy every 2 hours00:00 Pacific Time. **Extra energy can be purchased from our trusty Kalina in her [[Shop#Items|shop]].

**EXP Simulation Defense Training will get bonuses on Monday and Thursday.**Development Simulation Adjustment Exercise will get bonuses on Tuesday and Friday.**Data Simulation Decoding Practice will get bonuses on Wednesday and Saturday.

**Additionally, S-Ranking the simulations will grant you a 20% bonus to your supply gain for any of the 3 simulations.

**Commander is Commanders are restricted to a selected amount of T-Dolls for each of the 3 simulations which will rotate on a weekly basis along with the enemies Commander Commanders will encounter for each simulation, these T-Dolls can include ones a Commander does not own, but nevertheless.

Some simulations require you to a time limited clear in of 23 seconds, whereas the others require you to complete them are under 3 seconds. Staying under at least 20% the par time will result in the maximum resources gained for that respective Sim.**EXP simulation*Defense Training, is used for gathering new Combat Reports Rapid Growth Disks which Commander Commanders can give to increase their experience point points by 3000 per reportdisk. Upon completion you may get 10 ~ 12x reports Disks normally, 30 ~ 36x on bonus days.**Development simulation*Adjustment Exercise, is used for gathering Development Petri Dish which is used for increasing Coalition units' development levels (star/rarity). Upon completion, Commander may get 6 ~ 8x Dev MatsPetri Dishes, 18 ~ 22x on bonus days.**Data simulation*Decoding Practice, is the Simulation for gathering new Data chips Keycodes for our Coaliition units' active/passive skills. Upon completion, Commander Commanders may get 70 ~ 84x Sim Data, 210 ~ 252x on bonus days. Note that Commander doesnCommanders don't get both the types of data per mission, it'll be a 50/50 chance of that sim rewarding either the Basic or Advanced data chips.
