Conditions to read before pursuing achievements

Check the required squad and whether the period is one attack, turn, battle, island, game or all runs.
Use dedicated runs for achievements requiring actions contrary to normal building defense. Do not pursue Pod destruction, no Reputation spending and no weapon upgrades all at once.
For some achievements, later repairs do not restore an undamaged condition. Distinguish healing amounts from taking no damage.
Steam names are accompanied by English identifiers. If the Japanese display differs, cross-check the squad and condition.

Achievements award coins for squad unlocks. Fixed squad prices and the current Secret Squad unlock cost are not provided because differences from older sources have not been confirmed.
