are the legacy missions considered canon, because if they are I don't understand how xcom lost the war with jacked bradford and his magic shotgun on their side

i think the skirmisher is the best class because the reaper and the templar can't looney tunes pull a dude into a 100% guaranteed 5 man overwatch murder festival or the even better adjacent ranger bladestorm deathtrap

No they'll run away if you get them low enough, if you get them to 0hp they 'die' and you get a bonus, but they'll come back later anyway. There's no other way to force them to leave (other than sacrificing one of your soldiers for them to capture). Each of them will be weak to one of the hero factions, so if you're doing a mission in one of the areas where the chosen might drop in, bring one of the reapers / skirmishers / templars with you. If they're weak to explosions, bring a grenadier, weak to melee, bring a ranger etc. iirc the void demon is the assassin, the best strategy I found for her was to keep on her at all times. Don't let her run away and vanish. Always chase after her and keep eyes on her (provided you're not running into an area of the map where you might trigger other enemies.) I think the first time I killed her Jane Kelly and her ninja ranger squad just Benny Hilled her and smacked her with swords for three straight rounds. e: the second time I killed her she was weak to reapers and explosions, and my cloaked reaper stumbled across her hiding behind one of the power generators at the alien facility remote start one shot

No, they can both show up at the same time. It seems redundant but

Central getting his sweater back at the end of the legacy missions truly explains why the resistance succeeded, excellent worldbuilding.

Damage you do on the bosses stacks over to the next time they show up, so do as much damage as you can and then bug out if you need to. He will also bug out if you inflict a certain amount of damage. You dont need to/cannot kill him in a single mission, grind him down over two or three. Thats why their health bars are so ridiculous.

Also retreat back the way you came and lure him after you so you don't accidentally trigger any fresh pods. On the upside you get a fully sick suit of armour for smashing him.

super fart shooter posted:Just started a new campaign and on his first mission, my very first grenadier gets a phobia where he can panic from missing shots. lmao I guess he's not leaving the avenger till I get an infirmary is this a recent patch or something, i've played through wotc several times and never had it trigger before but i've had two recruits develop it already three or four missions into the tech support run

Cuntellectual posted:I tried to add some voice pack mods because I'm kind of tired of the default selection. I clicked the box in the launcher so the were highlighted, started a new game and... They didn't seem to be included? Are you certain they're compatible with whatever version you're playing (vanilla/wotc)? some of the mods for no reason whatsoever are extremely finnicky about which version they'll work with. Anyway the tech support all specialists and sparks run ran into an unforeseen snag: I have enough medics to keep everyone alive on the battlefield pretty much indefinitely. You'd think that'd be a good thing, but they take so many hits that every time the survivors come home they ping up as 1hp gravely wounded and have sustained enough poo poo that collectively they're terrified of EVERYTHING. I've got 12 specialists right now on 7 - 30 day recuperation, Mox and a bunch of rookies are going to have to carry the weight and oh great sectopods just showed up.

It definitely feels like a tablet game. I'd play the hell out of this on an airplane, for sure. Do the animations look more restrained and static-y than XCOM 2 to anyone else? I miss my brave idiots wildly barrel rolling through windows.

The Lone Badger posted:Does Stupor do anything? I've used it on enemies and they take their turn and shoot me just like normal. in addition to what others have said it also gives verge an aim bonus (stacking the more times you use it) which I'd actually say is the main benefit of it

whilst i wouldnt say xcom is grimdark by any means, there's definitely a different tone here, one of the fun things about xcom proper is your soldiers freaking out and shrieking for evac as things get worse and worse, here when someone goes down noone reacts at all/is extremely glib about it

when the stars align and you can pop zephyr right into the middle of a crowd with crowd control where she beats the poo poo out of them first, pops parry and stays where she is to finish them off with bladestorm as one by one they try to run away, its extremely

chiasaur11 posted:It's all useful, but in both previous XCOMs, I really noticed when I went without a sniper for long range firepower, a heavy for crowd control and armor shredding, or an assault to be the best. i just did a campaign of all specialists, a whole squad of them is ridiculously op they never loving die, they take over robots, they're extremely mobile once you level them high enough to get ever vigilant they lack the delete button that a sniper or ranger with talon rounds gives you, but the point is they will survive long enough to whittle whatever it is you want to delete down the downside is they all come back gravely wounded and need to take 3-4 weeks walking it off
