Tempest Rising: Complete Guide To Doctrines

Tempest Rising: A Comprehensive Guide to Doctrines

Mastering Tempest Rising requires understanding its many facets, especially Doctrines. These powerful upgrades significantly enhance your army's combat effectiveness. This guide provides a complete overview of Doctrines, covering their function, acquisition methods, and specific benefits for each faction.

What are Doctrines?

Doctrines are significant enhancements providing a competitive edge. Accessible in both single-player and multiplayer modes, their unlock methods differ:

• Single-player: Permanently unlocked using Doctrine Points earned after completing missions. While 18 Doctrines exist, only 11 missions provide points, limiting your choices. You can reset your Doctrines using special reset points earned after missions.
• Multiplayer: Unlocked by spending credits and waiting a short period. Cost and unlock time increase with Doctrine tier.

Doctrines are tailored to each faction's strengths. For example, the GDF's Comms Doctrine focuses on combat enhancements, while the Tempest Dynasty's Logistics Doctrine prioritizes economic growth.

Single-Player Campaign Doctrines

In single-player, Doctrine Points are earned after each mission and used to unlock Doctrines between missions. Strategic selection is crucial, as some Doctrines prove more valuable in the late game, especially on higher difficulties.

Multiplayer Doctrines

Unlocking Doctrines in multiplayer is simpler, requiring only credits and a short wait. Higher-tier Doctrines demand more credits and longer wait times.
