If you take the shot he's just going to flex his arm muscles, thus providing high cover for the rest of his torso

One squadsight sharp makes such a joke of that mission. It's both sad and hilariously awesome. Squadsight is so good. It got me thinking though ... gunslinger is so ridiculously good in every other situation. I'm imagining a full team of them with explosives and...yeah. Yeah.

Jade Star is whatever you want him to be, so long as you want him to be someone who suffers more computer problems than anyone else on this earth. I hear datacenters in his area pay him money not to come into the building, just in case. Cruise Ship Lobster, by the way. How could I vote anything else?

A Curvy Goonette posted:I find it a really frustrating mechanic. Generally it only happens in the first quarter of a playthrough so I just junk the person rather than trying to get them out of shaken. Or just build a single mindshield, reuse when needed, and that's that. It's great compared to EU's handling of shaken soldiers!

AnoHito posted:As a person who runs non-combat scout ranger babymen, I say that Conceal is still not very useful. Phantom is really the only skill you need for stealth yeah, conceal sounds like it could be cool, but it's cool in the way pubbies who camp corners with a sniper rifle in Call of Duty think they're cool. By which I mean not at all. It could sound tempting, right? Get Phantom, Conceal, and Shadowstrike to get AWESOME STEALTH CRITS ...but you give up super useful skills for something that might occasionally come in handy on a hard target you still need a grenadier to shred for you, at which point the grenade damage and cover destruction will probably tip the scales so you don't need either of Shadowstrike's bonuses, so the whole combo falls apart because you don't need Conceal to set up for it and ... yeah. meanwhile Blademaster swords are great finishing moves, and then once you unlock run and gun it makes flanking shotgun critical hits basically the ranger's base attack. Like just parse that for a minute: Shotgun crits as a reliable form of damage. in short: Jade wasted a bunch of words saying how to pick what is probably the easiest skill choice in the game.

akulanization posted:I don't think the conceal vs run and gun choice is as cut and dried as it's been made to sound though. R&G rangers can typically eliminate an enemy with little risk, and in my experience you can always damage or kill most of a pod, but sometimes there's one sticky enemy left who you'd otherwise have to roll the dice on. I don't think it's a mark against R&G that it's only good when you hit LT and Ridiculously Good once you rank up some more, whereas Conceal ... never really gets better. I guess part of it is that I have never felt the urge to use a conceal ranger to scout ahead. I enjoy setting up a good overwatch elimination of the first pod, but after that it's a good honest they know we're here and I know they're there fight, at which point R&G stays useful and conceal does not, and I don't usually lose the fights

Scouting is for people with insufficient quantities of explosives Doing the "complete a mission using soldiers of one class" achievement with six grenadiers was hilarious, let me tell you

yeah I have ill-will over Bulwark instead I realize this is just the latest in a long line of how Jade and Guava play the game differently but I have to agree with Guava: I will always prefer the method of "if they are dead, they can't shoot me" which means mobile high cover is a convenience, not an essential. Being able to take extra murder actions and just stomp all over a pod? yes. It's better as opposed to optimizing for making the shots they do take having the least effect.

Use even more explosives if my grenadiers ended the mission with grenades remaining, I did it wrong. I open with grenades. I close with grenades. Always Be Grenading. Late-game enemies do tend to shift the balance a little, but what I did was just modify my squad composition to have more stupidly high damage classes. It's not spoiling anything to say a ranger with near-guaranteed crits can do monstrously awesome damage, and grenadiers just so happen to be able to clear cover and guarantee those crits. Combine with some colonel abilities, and, well. There are also some nice, basically guaranteed one-turn (or more) disable moves from multiple classes you can throw down which really splits one pod into two: kill half of it, disable the other half, end turn, do it again.

Jade Star posted:Winner: Implacable. But not by a landslide, I wouldn't balk at Bladestorm. I see your vacation did good things, Jade, it meant you picked the right skills. Finally, I'm sure Guava would say. I do have to say Bladestorm is something I only take on my sword ranger (of course, obviously) and I only ever have one of those. However, Bladestorm going off on the enemy turn was how I won the final mission by accident the first time I played so it holds a special place in my heart.

Hoboskins posted:Playing through I can see what Guava means when he gets crazy at how conservatively Jade uses his consumables. Just throw grenades and overdrive 24/7. I want Guava to take over and play a mission but have Jade pretend it was him all along, with the commentary to match just Guava saying things like "wow, congratulations Jade you actually used a grenade!" and "good work using Overdrive for once, Jade!" and "I see you specced out of Bulwark for this mission, great!" and jade has to pretend he actually did all those things
