==Strategies==
===General===
*Surprise attack is the key. Utilizing '''Ghost In the Machine''' Leader Power correctly, the player can cause chaos amongst the enemy ranks.
**This is also suitable to make a surprise attack, as it affects all mechanical units, including a Super Unit. The more units player destroy using their own weapons, the more chance they will switch to infantry-based strategy.
**Note that any units inside the mobile garrison such as Phantom or Mastodon will be automatically kicked out from the vehicle, be wary of it.
*'''Accelerated Assembly''' is very useful for Mid-game, allowing player to immediately establish a group of armored units.
*'''Holographic Decoys''' is very useful if the player wishes to trick other players to use an active or offense leader power. A stealth detection unit, however, such as Sniper, Nightingale, and Engineer can expose it.
*Isabel's main role is generally Offensive.
===With Allies===
*Make the timing count when using '''Ghost In the Machine''' Leader Power. Arbiter's '''Stasis''' is your worst combination since it rendered Isabel's '''Ghost In The Machine''' useless.
**Alternatively, if the opponent is using Isabel, have your allies use '''Stasis''' Leader Power to nullify the '''Ghost In The Machine''' effect.
*Pair up with Johnson's '''EMP MAC''' Leader Power for additional damage, or have your allies use EMP MAC to immobilize the enemy, and use MAC to deal more damage.
*Use '''Holographic Decoys''' to spot a valuable target for using offense leader power. Beware of Stealth Detection units as they can expose decoy units.
*If your ally is Serina, utilize her cryo power for your '''MAC''' advantage, dealing devastating damage to any frozen units.
===As Enemy===
*Never group up if you're using Vehicles, as '''Ghost In the Machine''' is your worst nightmare.
**Some players may "Dispose" their abilities to gain an advantage should the damage dealt is not enough.
*The Arbiter's '''Stasis''' is the best counter against Isabel's '''Ghost In The Machine''', since it practically fails the hijacking due to the units being held in stasis.
*Avoid grouping up together as a single round of MAC can deal devastating damage, which is enough to kill Nightingale with Air Upgrade level 3 when upgraded to maximum level.
