Use this guide to complete all your confidence goals on hard mode in Tactical Breach Wizards without replaying previous levels.
Hard Mode Confidence Goals in Tactical Breach Wizards
This is a guide on how to achieve every confidence objective during your first playthrough of the game. It does not include dream sequences.
North = the top left of the screen. You can figure out the other cardinal directions.
Directly = within one tile
- Use Gale Grenades on yourself for extra movement, allowing you to reach interactable tiles or cover that’s just out of range.
- Choose your upgrades based on consistency: you want upgrades that will have value every time, rather than in specific scenarios.
- Choose who breaches the door wisely: the breacher will immediately have line of sight into the room to and can act before moving, but everyone else will have to move before taking action.
Act 1: The Break
1.1: The Asset
This is the tutorial; there are no confidence goals here.
1.2: Rushwater Reunion
No confidence goals here either. Make sure to take the +1 target upgrade for Chain Bolt.
1.3: Out For Blood
Zone 1:
- Move Jen north of the filing cabinets. Throw a Gale Grenade at the two enemies by the south window and use Static Blast to knock the closest tracker into the wall.
- Move Zan east to the desk, shoot the tracker to your south, and take cover.
- On the next turn, have Zan seal the door, then finish off the last two enemies by knocking them into walls.
Zone 2:
- Breach the southwest door with Zan and the southeast door with Jen.
- Move Zan east of the central intel box, shoot the nearby grenadier, and Time Boost Jen.
- Move Jen to the farthest tiles at the eastern box, Chain Bolt the three trackers into walls (start with the one directly west), then shoot the hiding grenadier.
- Seal the doors; the 1-turn objective is already complete.
Zone 3:
- Breach with Zan, shoot the overwatching sharpshooter, and Predictive Bolt north toward the door. Then breach with Jen and use the laptop to open Zan’s door, instantly killing the enforcer.
- On the next turn, move Jen to her door and breach it. Move Zan to his door but don’t breach yet. Cast Predictive Bolt east to cover Jen’s enforcer.
- Breach Zan’s door and move him as far northwest as possible. Shoot the enforcer in the middle of the corridor to push him toward the eastern windows.
- Move Jen to her door, breach, and Chain Bolt the three trackers counterclockwise. Throw a Gale Grenade between the two enforcers on Zan’s bridge to knock them out the windows (make sure Zan isn’t hit).
The confidence objectives are complete, so finish the mission at your pace.
1.4: The Traffic Warlock
Turn 1:
- Move Jen west of the western intel, grab it, and shoot the Traffic Warlock northeast toward the burning mana.
- Move Zan to the eastern wall, east of Jen. Shoot the warlock north and Predictive Bolt to catch reinforcements from the eastern door.
Turn 2:
- Move Jen east of the tracker reinforcement, shoot him into the wall, and throw a Gale Grenade west of the Traffic Warlock. He should be near a window.

At the end of the mission, take the +1 damage upgrade to 3 Bolt Burst.
