# Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sachin Singh viable in small squads?
He's playable but suboptimal. His perk scales directly with squad members, so running the minimum size wastes his potential. He's best in campaigns where you invest in larger squad sizes and have the manpower pool to sustain casualties.
How many squad members does Singh need to be effective?
Starting at 6+ members, the bonus becomes noticeable. At 8-10 members, Singh competes with A-tier leaders. The tradeoff is supply cost and manpower drain — balance your resources carefully.
What faction path benefits Singh most?
Planetary Jingwei naturally, since he's from that faction. The Backbone also offers good synergy through their manpower-related O.C.I. upgrades.
