Ledgerbound Optional HR Objectives Explained
What optional HR objectives are in Ledgerbound, why they're worth doing, and how they feed the company voucher economy that powers your gear.
In Ledgerbound, just winning a fight is the bare minimum your employer expects. The real rewards come from optional HR objectives — bonus goals layered onto each mission.
What they are
During a mission you can complete optional objectives, themed as the company’s HR requirements. They’re separate from simply clearing the stage: think of them as performance targets that, when met, pay a bonus.
Why they matter
Completing them rewards company vouchers, the currency you trade for stat-boosting corporate gear. That makes objectives the backbone of your progression — your strength between story beats comes largely from how thoroughly you clear missions, not just whether you survive them. The full chain is covered in our vouchers and corporate gear guide.
How to approach them
- Read objectives before you commit. Some shape your whole turn order — like finishing fast, protecting a unit, or fighting on specific tiles.
- Use the grid and Sigils. Many objectives reward smart positioning, which the element/Sigil system already encourages.
- Don’t grief your own run. A risky objective that wipes your party costs more than it pays. Bank the clean win when the bonus isn’t safe.
- Prioritize objectives that fund your next upgrade. If you know what gear you want, chase the vouchers that get you there.
The bigger loop
Optional objectives → vouchers → gear → tougher content you can now objective even harder. Combined with the Vacari scaling up over time, leaning into objectives early keeps your power curve ahead of the enemy’s. New here? Start with our beginner tips.
