Some of the most effective and powerful abilities of Specialist Class are as follows:
Medical Protocol: This ability will let you heal your squad member from a distance so that you will not get in the range of melee attacks of your opponents.
Scanning Protocol: For this ability to work you need Battle Scanner, a utility item that has the same purpose but on smaller scale. If you really don’t want the ability to scan the the map you can take “Field Medic’ that way you can have extra med kits.
Haywire Protocol: You should not have a specialist in you team if you do not want to use this ability, it will help you hack into any mechanical enemy. You can easily turn off opponent for like 2 rounds with this ability. However, if you problems with Stun Lancers and your squad losing consciousness you should take “Revival Protocol” instead.
Threat Assessment: A very effective yest powerful ability, if you use this ability on your Ranger, your Ranger will be able land more deadly attacks on opponents with sword and this ability also allow Ranger to perform “Overwatch Attacks”.
Guardian: With this ability you will get 50% extra chance to perform additional attack on your enemy. This ability can be triggered various times which has one drawback that it may leave your soldier with empty clip/magazine.
Restoration: Last but not the least, Restoration can heal or revive your whole squad from distance. You should have this ability in as it will definitely support your whole squad.
