Quick answer
Choose The Specialists Expansion if you want new bot abilities and tactical variety; pick Extra Action Dice if your team often runs out of dice during critical missions.
New abilities vs. smoother execution
The Specialists Expansion adds four unique bots—Gyro, Subroutine, Servo, and Firewall—each with specialized skills for fieldwork. This expands your tactical options and gives you more ways to handle obstacles.
Extra Action Dice simply gives you more dice to use during a mission. If your group frequently shares dice or runs short, this accessory keeps the game moving without changing how you play.
