# Frequently Asked Questions

Is Jane Darby the best squad leader in MENACE?

For long-range DPS and boss killing, yes. Her 88 AGI and 80 WS are the highest in the game, and High Value Target gives massive damage against priority enemies. Combined with 20 Precision for crits, she's S-tier for all mission types.

How should I position Jane Darby in combat?

Always keep her at maximum range, preferably elevated terrain. Use her 75 Positioning to hold angles. Never commit her to close-quarters — she has the lowest Vitality in the game and will die quickly if focused.

What ammunition works best with Jane Darby?

Match Grade Ammo is ideal — it extends range and improves accuracy while Darby can absorb the accuracy-degradation penalty with her high base stats. Armor Piercing is also excellent for armored targets.
