Key mistakes

Letting Invisibility drop mid-tile
180 health. 105 armor. The cloak is the health bar.
Loud guns without Hushed
You are invisible, not silent. Cameras and enemies still hear the Soma.
Disarm with no Range
A 10-meter pulse is a handshake. Overextended / Stretch make it a room.
Switch Teleporting a random ally into a pit
Funny once. Then they leave the squad.
