Greater Good[]
This skill tree focuses primarily on Digi-Jacks and teammates dying and taking damage while Jack avoids it. Additionally, it grants his Digi-Jacks a stronger close-range game via shotgun lasers and several area-of-effect attacks upon spawning or dying,
| Skill | Tier | Levels | Effect |

 |

 |
5 | 1 | Digi-Jacks create a Shock Nova upon spawning. Additionally, you can now use Expendable Assets while in Fight For Your Life. |
