Note on Advisor Zacara Availability
As with all other achievements in this game, the achievement won't unlock until you beat the level.

If you’ve selected this perk, you can launch your special weapon attack during the mission with either or . Do this at least once and the trophy will pop after completion of the mission.
If you want to get this trophy out of the way quickly, simply start a mission on the ‘Fully Loaded mode’ , select Advisor Zacara and use the special weapon.
Both the and the are mapped to the special weapon you choose at the Tower Items loadout screen. Advisor Zacara is available on all modes in missions 3-19 (except 16), and is required to use the Tower Overcharge special weapon. The Tower Overcharge special weapon enables affected towers to do extra damage to aliens they attack, and can be used once every five minutes. Note that increasing the speed using also affects the recharge time for the special weapon you have selected, if any.
Select any mission and mode that you choose where Advisor Zacara is available and select her to be your Command Team Tower item. Start the game up, place any tower to start the game, and then simply hold the down for about two seconds until the Tower Overcharge special weapon fires. The achievement will unlock at the end of the game, win or lose.
