==Building Your Army==

First off keep in mind that the only practical reasons to ever play a sectorial army instead of the corresponding Vanilla faction is to make use of fireteams, or to use the increased AVA of your favorite units. OSS is blessed with several options for flexible and powerful fireteams, it is certainly not unreasonable to field a Core, a Haris and one or more Duos in the same list for that insane order efficiency!
When it comes to Core fireteams the Dakinis are a standout in being good in relation to their cost. Devas and Yadus can also make Core teams but have too many redundancies that bloat their cost and don't make any compelling arguments for why you would build a team of 4 or more instead of having the Dakini as your Core. Playing Devas or Yadu in smaller teams and as Duos however may be viable

So a Dakini Core makes for a good foundation. Your next consideration should be whether you keep the team cheap by letting it be only Dakinis, or if you slot in any Devas and/or a CSU. Or any of the Wildcards such as Rudras, Parvati or Trisha. Adding another unit to the mix makes the team far more versatile, Devas for instance contribute with Number 2, preventing the team from breaking when the teamleader goes down, whereas Parvati and Trisha are engineers that can fix up members in the team if they fall. Nothing stops you from adding multiple Wildcards. Bear in mind that adding a unit with 4-4 move (Deva, CSU) has the drawback of reducing the effective speed of the team from 6-4 to 4-4. Either way, make sure you bring at least one Dakini with an HMG for long range firepower, and if there is no other specialist then bring a paramedic so the team has a specialist.

Another consideration for your Core Dakinis is whether you want to buff them, and if so do you rely on a Evo Hacking Device (A Probot) to provide Assisted Fire or do you invest in an Apsara to boost one of the bots in the team. Both are good options and can be combined if you want to go deep. The Apsara costs you fewer orders to use but Assisted fire has the bigger effect.

Dakinis are Remotes so you will need at least one hacker or an engineer in your list, fortunately OSS is spoiled for choice with no real terrible options, in fact, you are likely to include one anyway so you can push this consideration off for now.

Always assume that Plan A fails, that Dakini team will not win you the game alone. A choice that will nearly always pay it's points back is the Posthuman. Especially Mk.2 Sniper and Mk.5 FO are such incredible value, even now after N4 increased their costs. Mk.1 can be a cheap specialist or your mandatory hacker, or Mk.4 can be a good speed-bump on one of your flanks.

Beyond that, take whatever you want to try out, maybe add more specialists to fit the mission, a Garuda so you are ready to punish the enemy if the give you an opening. Don't neglect the excellent selection of mid-field camo available!
