I noticed a bug that we can take advantage of for 5 element leaders:

Dead units do not need to be removed. Therefore, their element remains in the squad. If you use a squad of three live units and two dead units, but there are 5 elements, the LS activates. Basically you can use this as a fall back for when a squad fails. Here's a different explanation:

Say you use this squad:

Blank       Blank       Hadaron (lead)      Bestie      Rahgan

Then you lose, and the all die. You can then change your lead to Krantz or Quaid:

Blank      Blank      Quaid/Krantz(lead)    Bestie (dead)      Rahgan(dead)

Then fill in the rest of the units:

Iris        Kikuri       Quaid/Krantz(lead)     Bestie(dead)       Rahgan(dead)

and then the LS will activate.
