In this article, following [29], we study critical subsolutions in discrete weak KAM theory. In particular, we establish that if the cost function $c: M \times M\to \R$ defined on a smooth connected manifold is locally semiconcave and satisfies twist conditions, then there exists a $C^{1,1}$ critical subsolution strict on a maximal set (namely, outside of the Aubry set). We also explain how this applies to costs coming from Tonelli Lagrangians. Finally, following ideas introduced in [18] and [26], we study invariant cost functions and apply this study to certain covering spaces, introducing a discrete analog of Mather's $\alpha$ function on the cohomology.
