All 12 Zero Company Classes Explained

STAR WARS Zero Company has twelve classes: eight standard archetypes you can assign to any recruit, and four exotic classes locked to droids or specific story characters. This guide summarises all of them and links to a full profile for each.

The eight standard classes

These are available to any operative you recruit, so you can mix and match freely across your squad.

• Assault — close-range damage; flank and breach.
• Heavy — suppression and durability; controls ground.
• Sharpshooter — long-range burst; deletes priority targets.
• Scoundrel — control and disruption; sets up the squad.
• Soldier — flexible all-rounder; the dependable core.
• Gunslinger — dual-pistol, multi-target damage.
• Scout — recon and mobility; controls information.
• Medic — healing and sustain; keeps the squad alive.

The four exotic classes

Exotic classes are restricted — you can’t assign them to ordinary recruits.

• Astromech — droid-only support and utility, with R4/R2/R3/BR-1 chassis.
• Jedi Padawan — Force control, tied to Tel-Rea Vokoss.
• Mandalorian Warrior — mobile skirmisher, tied to Cly Kullervo.
• One more — a fourth exotic class has been referenced but not fully detailed; we’ll add it once confirmed.

How to choose

Think in roles, not just classes. A balanced squad usually wants:

• Damage — an Assault, Sharpshooter or Gunslinger to actually kill things.
• Control or setup — a Scoundrel or the Jedi to create openings.
• Durability or anchor — a Heavy or Soldier to hold ground.
• Sustain or vision — a Medic or Scout to keep the squad safe and informed.

Because operatives build bonds and synergies by fighting together, it pays to settle on a core squad and develop it rather than constantly swapping. For concrete line-ups, read best squad composition. Not sure where to start? Take our class quiz.
