A few notes:
-The clone ability (and, IIRC, Codex teleport) do not trigger overwatch.
-The edge of the fog of war behaves in strange ways. A unit that moves exactly one square into visibility will not trigger overwatch; the shooter has to see them step from one visible tile to another. I don't know how it works if they step out of visibility, since the AI is so aggro. Also, sometimes squares on the edge of visibility can be revealed without triggering pod activation, as you've seen.
-Shanty Pete couldn't be disarmed because he procced untouchable with his overwatch kill.
-Guardian is amazing and I always choose it on specialists.

There's one programmed case where they drop the aggression step out of visibility: if they're the last member of activated pod and there's another another inactive pod on the map and they can approach it without being flanked, they will run away and join it..

May not apply to bosslike mobs like sectopods

The thread did end up indicating that chrysalids are infamously dangerous.

I think this is a sense that comes from people who played UFO Defense

I don't even think dominate is the most broken power, they may or may not find that out

These guys are constantly inventing better versions of these missions in their head.


Also, I always try to do that mission without being seen
