- Anders only appears as a Hero Unit in mission Hold the Line. However, she does not have a health bar shown during the mission.
- In the mission Last Stand, Anders health point was replaced with the energy shield on the control room, but she is not listed as Hero Unit.
- R&D serves as the best form of upgrades. Stacking it with Logistics upgrade, your units can be prepared faster than other leaders.
- Sentinel Beacon leader power is very useful at harassing enemy units, as it can provide a good distraction for the enemy and allows the player to strike them when they were distracted.
- Retriever Sentinel is a useful Super Unit, but try not to deploy it in the middle of the enemy, especially if they got heavy anti-air defenses. If the player can summons a Retriever Sentinel with energy shielding, utilize it to tank enemy units, thereby easing the Nightingale's workload.
- Anders role can be utilized as a Support if used correctly. Her specialty is air units due to Leader Power related to the Sentinels.
- Sentinel Beacon is useful to draw the anti-air aggro towards the Sentinels created through Leader Power. If the player relies on Kodiak, it can serve as additional firepower, and also additional defenses.
- Additionally, Siege Turret stationary defenses also benefits since it can spawn Sentinels upon impact.
- Sentinel Network can serve with a double purpose. The first is to harass the enemy, and the second is to serve as a reconnaissance.
- Ark Defenses can serve as an opening for the Firefight. Use it wisely.
- Sentinel Network is dangerous if it is not handled appropriately. Its debuff effect once destroyed can hinder your mobility.
- Ark Defenses is extremely annoying, and if stacked with Sentinel Beacon fired from Kodiak or Siege Turret will make your unit have a hard time dealing with other air units.
- Bring plenty of Anti-Air units due to Anders' unique traits and specialty, which mainly relies on air power.
