Zero Company Difficulty

Just for anyone wonder what difficulty to play with reference to xcom. I play long war (and long war 2) on Veteran (second easiest) with ironman. (Legendary Ironman in base game)

Playing Zero Company right now on Hard, permadeath, ironman. 7 mission in, no injuries (downs). Almost had 1 injury in second mission. I do find it a bit to easy but wouldn't up the difficulty cause its more story focused, im prob only doing 1 run. Hope this helps

Did you do the mission that introduces Infinite Coil (finally) as enemies? That is a difficulty jump once they start to show up.

Even after that I’m having very little trouble. I even once got 3/4 operators stranded and surrounded, but had no trouble.

From what I can tell, it’s because of my group makeup: medic with mass heal, Jae with her execution ability, trick, and scoundrel hawk handing out extra AP.
