When is the best time to do each of the Extra Missions?

I'm not that far into the game, still on Chapter 4, and I wondering when the best time to do the extra missions is. Do they scale with level or do they have a pre-set level that I should worry about?

DLC missions unlock at specific points in the game, some at chapter 2, some at chapter 10, some at post-game, so they're balanced to be played at around the moment they unlock. If you play A United Front with Squad 7 (unlocked at chapter 2) while nearly at the end of the game, yeah, the difficulty will be a total joke, levels won't scale.

If you mean Squad Stories, do them as soon as you can too, as they unlock a new Potential for the units each mission is about.

Same for regular Skirmishes if you want to do them, or you can skip them if you prefer, those are mostly just variations of the story missions to get some extra EXP or funds if you need. Harder skirmishes will be available after beating the game.

Alright thanks, I thought it might be like this, but I didn't know for sure!

you should worry about one thing when Raz take on the suicide mission the guy you choose to go with him will die too (can resurrect after beat the game)

↑ Geez dude, use the Spoilers tag in case the OP or anyone who is not far into the game and cares about its story reads this thread, no need to be so detailed.

Yeah I assume I just got spoiled, since I have no idea.

Spoilers for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake dude. I said I'm only on chapter 4, it's pretty obvious that I might not be that much farther into the game only a day after that.
