Oh neat you can target some objects in the environment and they can put status effects on enemies. Blowing up that propane tank shredded that chrysalis's armor.

Furnaceface posted:I have managed to keep hype level to minimum. It's a cover based shooter and there's a bunch of levels where you have a hat and if it gets shot off you can run out and hit a button to put it back on. So I'd say it's worth it.

I know a guy who started out modding things and messing around with flash as a hobby, he eventually started supporting himself with his work and wound up with a very nice government job from the repertoire of skills he built from his hobby. I hope it goes well for you Junpei.

When spotted the snake and codex went to the ground floor, my squaddie sniper was able to grenade the mutons and the archon so the mutons fell, it wasn't enough to kill them, but I hacked the MEC and had two grenadiers and my lieutenant gunslinger sniper so it went ok. I probably wouldn't have so many wounded if I had brought mimic grenades, but oh well!

Wizard Styles posted:Blade Rangers I used an aid protocol on a ranger using a dodge pcs in a spider or wraith suit and they pretty much never took damage and were great at forcing enemies to reposition to spots that were worse for them. That being said their melee defense suffers from overwatch penalties right? Even with an accuracy PCS it wasn't that reliable at hitting things.

Harrow posted:I broke the story sequence, which is amusing. I skulljacked a Codex during the mission where you recover the alien stasis suit with the proto-Avatar in it. That means I fought an Avatar, and brought back an Avatar corpse, before Tygan and Central even had their conversation about "what if they're making a psionic being????" I did the exact same thing actually.

Dogen posted:Faceless pods in the endgame are also good targets. Basically anything soft that can't dodge. Same general problem with serial, I swear to god the last several times I tried to use it with my 100+ aim sharpshooter I somehow didn't kill the first enemy because the health bar is not the clearest on legendary when enemies have a trillion health, or the second motherfucker in line dodges and doesn't die. I got that mod that displays health numerically, it doesn't show projected damage but it's pretty good. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=621376448&searchtext=numeric Edit: I've got some advanced advent dodging in my commander iron man run.

RBA Starblade posted:I've only had trouble with Faceless twice. The one time I had trouble with Faceless was in a retaliation on Commander. All my high level units were out wounded due to a stray MEC missile (gently caress mec missiles), so I had squaddies and two corporals, one of which was a rescued medic I had to leave behind to save the campaign. It was the first retaliation with chryssalids. I was down to one civilian left to save in order to not lose, and two were in sight. I send the corporal gunslinger to the closest. Oh gently caress a faceless! He swipes and somehow blows up the floor (they were on the second level), nearly killing the gunslinger. Through sheer luck, the medic saves the gunslinger, and the squaddie squad gets out alive, saving the day. Watching the gunslinger fall into fire was horrifying though. I've seen a faceless on the ground swipe up and miss the target but take out the floor beneath them. The high ground is a cruel mistress at times.

Digirat posted:I am finding Tactical Skyranger Escapes very handy to save people from being wounded. In a mission where the loot managed to fall in a field of poison, fire, and in view of a turret, I was able to get the loot on the last turn, grenade the turret and extract before the poison did any damage. It leaves you down a person for the rest of the mission but sometimes you can get away with it. That's clever, I only used evacs to get the team out, but since there's just a cooldown, well I wish I'd thought of it!
