Best STAR WARS Zero Company Talents
Understand passive Talent choices, refunds, second-Specialization planning, and role-first selection without a brittle tier list.

Talents versus abilities
Talents provide passive buffs, while a Specialization also supplies activated Standard and Ultimate abilities plus its own passives. Prefer Talents that improve actions you already take.
A safe selection order
Take consistency for the core job, then action-economy or positioning support, then situational damage. Compare conditional bonuses with simpler effects that help every mission.
Refunds and experimentation
Allocated points can be changed and refunded, and a second Specialization becomes available later. Test a coherent package rather than one node alone.
Authored exceptions
Some authored Operators use assigned or unique progression. Confirm the current tree before copying a Hawks plan to a character with fixed Talents or a non-standard path.
