 The main way of gaining favor with the [[#factions|factions]] is fighting the good fight [[geoscape#war Pandorans|the war against the Pandorans]]. Specifically, successfully [[Mission Types#Haven Defense|defending havens]] (you get between +6 and +12 with the [[#factions|faction]] whose [[#haven|haven]] you are defending, depending on [[Mission Types#threat level|threat level]]) and [[Mission Types#Pandoran structures|destroying Pandoran colonies]] (you get +4 for destroying a [[file:nest icon.png|30px|link=]] nest, + 8 for destroying a [[file:lair icon.png|30px|link=]] lair and +12 for destroying a [[file:citadel icon.png|30px|link=]] citadel with '''all''' [[#factions|factions]]).

 Finally, and an often neglected ''(by me at least, I used to completely ignore these missions)'' source of positive rep with the [[#factions|factions]] is to do [[mission Types#Sabotage|sabotage missions]] on their behalf against each other.
 These missions are excellent early game attitude boosters: you get +15 [[#attitude|attitude]] from the [[#factions|faction]] on whose behalf you carry out the sabotage, and only -6 from the targeted [[#factions|faction]], plus a bunch of resources comparable to what you would get from a [[mission Types#Haven Defense|haven defense]].

 There are two mystifying aspects to diplomacy in ''Phoenix Point'': the first is that a [[#factions|faction]] will share its deepest secrets with you even as you are allied with its sworn enemies, and the second that it won't mind you raiding its [[#haven|havens]] provided you keep destroying [[#Pandoran structures|Pandoran colonies]].
 Once you grasp the abstract meta-rules governing inter-faction relations in ''Phoenix Point'' and familiarize yourself with the rhythm at which [[#attitude|attitude]] is adjusted, it will take dedication ''and'' neglect to make a [[#factions|faction]] really hate you.
