    A trooper in the Seed Embryo state doesn’t count towards casualties.

    But Retreat isn’t based on casualties. It’s based on survivors.

    So how does Seed Embryo help?

    Thanks.

    Not for retreat. It's for zone control missions.

    I think you mean Spawn Embryo.

    The full quote is:

    During the game, troopers in the Spawn-Embryo state do not count as casualties for the purposes of determining the total point cost of surviving troopers.

    Which makes it pretty clear that the rules consider anything not a casualty to be a survivor.

    The quote for Retreat is...

    http://infinitythewiki.com/en/Retreat!
    "If the sum of the survivors' Cost in points is equal to or less than 25% of the points available for building the Army List, then that army enters a state of Retreat!"

    So troopers in Spawn Embryo state do count torward the total points of surviving troopers when calculating retreat.

    - - - - -

    Between Ikadrons being a staples and Spawn Embryo, it's unfortunately very hard to go in Retreat! as Shasvastii.

    To make sure there is no confusion, Seed Embryo (which is a different skill and used on Seed Soldiers and Cadmus) also counts as being alive. It's just an alternate troop profile.
