Teammates’ Damage and Withdrawal from Missions

Each of Fox’s teammates has a shield gauge that will go down if they are hit by enemy fire. If a teammate’s shield gauge is emptied completely, that teammate will withdraw from the mission. They will then be unable to take part in the next mission, as their Arwing must undergo repairs.

The current status of Fox’s teammates can be seen at any time on the pause menu.

The shield gauges of teammates who are still present at the end of the mission will partially recover before the next mission, in an amount proportional to the number of hits you scored in the current mission.
