Now that the arc is in full swing, we’re taking a closer look at our new Section 31 officers—Georgiou, Rachel Garrett, and Zeph—whose specialized Apex Shred abilities are already proving indispensable in Solo Wave Defense. If you’ve been looking for the tactical edge to break through enemy Apex Barriers, these officers deliver the extra punch you need to turn the tide in battle.
Section 31 Georgiou

This reimagined version of Georgiou is all about maximizing Apex Shred. On the bridge, she provides a significant boost by applying Apex Shred against any non-Armada hostiles, letting you deal critical damage right through their formidable barriers. And when you deploy her below deck, she works seamlessly with your PvP crew to weaken an enemy Commander’s defenses—making her an absolute must-have for both offensive and defensive engagements.
Rachel Garrett

Rachel Garrett’s primary role centers on her below deck ability, which is tailored to enhance Apex Barrier against Battleship-type hostiles. When paired with Georgiou’s ability, her impact on battleships with Apex Barriers is truly game-changing. For those of you looking to maximize your loot, consider placing Garrett on the bridge. She boosts the loot you receive from hostiles—a winning combination indeed. Try pairing her with a bridge crew such as Enterprise-E Picard and 5 of 11 for an extremely high loot boost modifier.
Zeph

Zeph brings his own unique twist to the battlefield. His below deck ability is focused on providing extra Apex Barrier against Interceptor hostiles, stacking neatly with Georgiou’s bonus to further reduce enemy barriers. Meanwhile, on the bridge, Zeph offers additional utility with a chance each round to apply a random combat state to enemy hostiles for three rounds—potentially layering several debilitating effects with just one crew slot. This makes him a powerful asset when facing swift and evasive foes.
Why These Officers Matter
These new officers aren’t just standalone powerhouses—they are critical components of your overall strategy as you face off against hostiles armed with Apex Barriers in Solo Wave Defense and beyond. Their abilities complement one another perfectly, giving you multiple ways to breach enemy defenses and secure victory on the field.
