It's actually a lot of fun to let him get an entire encounter in his neural network and then take them over with mind control. Instantly ends the encounter. Plus later on he can get an ability to heal himself 1HP per person in his network and it can basically make him invulnerable.

1:15 - be ready for a challenge. I made it through the first four missions and was scoffing at the difficulty - but then I did a story mission and couldn't get past the second encounter because the enemies are SO buffed. I've played and beaten XCom 2 multiple times - and, gotta say, on high difficulties this game does NOT fuck around. Especially with those scars - the debuffs can be ENORMOUS and leave your characters decimated. Especially early on when you have only four or five characters.

She can also relocate allies that overextend or are too far behind. She can grab vip and end your mission atleast 2-3 turns earlier if you're lucky.

There is one little mistake in this Video. The scar on Agents is not a "downed agent" only thingy there is a chance for a scar to appear on each agent that went below half health during the mission (doesnt matter if you heal them directly after taking the hit) the lower the health goes the higher the chance for a scar. Though if a scar appears is calculated after the mission is over so there is the option of safescumming to reload the final shot as long as it is no guaranteed (downed char) scar. But i wouldn't rly bother with that anyway as you can heal scars rather quickly (especially compared to how long it took in x-com to just heal in hospital after some light wounds....)

Seems like a potentially easy fix, patch a memory run or something. I went yolo into ironman figuring I quite enjoy it and take my time to start over if needed. For now, I assume Patchwork is in-character sticking around in the Assembly area as a research engineer, might be able to finish, haha.

I learned something here. I didn't know that you could put people in assembly. I've almost finished my first campaign and haven't been doing it. I feel dumb now lol. Also the medic lady is super OP. Between her, Verge, and BlueBlood you're next to unstoppable. Verge can mind control the whole freaking room, medic can heal one or everyone on the team from anywhere, and BlueBlood with a few weapon mods can't miss, with my epic pistol has a free action that is just a cool down, can fire his gun twice in one turn or three if you have the epic pistol for that, and he has an insanely devastating shot. He's OP AF. Combine that with that grenade that gives people bonus actions and the medic ladies ability to pass her action off another team mate and Blue Blood is a one man wrecking ball. Slap the largest advanced mag you can find on his pistol because his final power up to shoot everyone he can see until out of ammo is also OP. I'd add in the chain lightening drone lady and you're team is a freaking dominant force on the battlefield.
@TheChairmaker
4 жыл бұрын
Actually, having a smaller mag is better for Blueblood, because he can get an ability where the last bullet in his magazine does double damage, and he gets free reloads as his final training, so it usually doesn't matter if he runs out of ammo. Shooting up everyone in the room is nice, but it's once per mission, whereas being able to crit for almost 30 damage every time he needs to reload is a lot more useful in the long run

Great vid, but I would add the reinforcement grind to the list. In a mission with endless reinforcements, sometimes it is better to grind some kills to lvlup an agent faster. I believe the formula is this: A successful mission gives flat 4xp, each kill 1,5xp, max possible xp amout is 16 per mission. So to lvl agent fast, it needs to make 8 kills, not takedowns, per mission.

It's a shame that this game gets a lot of flack for not being "XCOM: 3", as a long time fan of the series I have to shake my head every time I see a spin off get flack, that's not to say that all the spin offs have been gems... (Looking at you Interceptor)... but, it's sort of a tradition for them to come up with some innovative games that aren't just tbs grid punishment base management hellspawns. Not to say that that stuff isn't good, it's just that, when they try to do something else that's not just the traditional formula, it bugs the hell out of me when people review bomb the new spin off directly comparing it to the main games, they weren't intended to be compared and aren't marketed as sequels. I love XCOM and think that the Firaxis games have been plenty fun, IDK how I feel about Bureau, but I think it's wrong to weigh these games against the main games. That's something that I've seen too many times to count with Chimera Squad. It's not XCOM 3, nor was it intended to be, hell, the price should be telling if nothing else. Personally I think of it as a palate cleanser with some interesting original ideas that work together to make a pretty decent game that has its own merits versus the industry standard shader change, over-monetized bollocks that other companies do (looking at you EA).

Waitwait, you can upgrade the training facility to have 2 slots? Goddamn it! I think I trained my agents maybe 5 times throughout the whole freakin' game because I was constantly using the sole slot I had to remove scars!

Cherub is awesome? Don’t build a team around him but he’s situationally hella good and supports the high risk high reward agents like Zephyr and Axiom fantastically. If you’re going to warn away from anyone do Shelter WannabeGandi is freaking useless at the best of times

I don't see why they bothered to make your agents not need downtime between missions while simultaneously giving us androids to fill their place during missions?
@Jaswah797

The androids only come in if there's another battle immediately after the one the agent got downed in. After that mission, the agent won't be downed. The agent is only downed and out for the rest of that mission.

@@Jaswah797 That's what I meant by "fill their place during missions". Its kind of silly to introduce a very cool mechanic, and not only not make it a irrelevant gameplay mechanic to soldier fatigue, but neither as a mechanic for filling for soldiers that have *died*. Because neither is a thing in this standalone and that kind of seems off as a result. Only way that makes sense is if these eleven characters are planned to appear in a later XCOM game.

In regards to recruiting, are you always stuck with the initial 4 or does that change if you remove the tutorial?

If you skip the tutorial (or maybe only on subsequent play throughs after you’ve started one?) you get to choose which 4 of the 11 squad members you start with, you’ll get the opportunity to recruit the rest as the game progresses, though, tied to main story progress

As with XCOM 2, I would bet that it will release to consoles once most of the bugs are worked out, and it's had a bit of optimization. It will just take some time.

@@bbsoldiertwitch I hope it will, because it seems a lot of fun. However, I also hope it will be better optimized than XCOM 2, because at least on PS4, it has countless glitches from visual to game-breaking... Just yesterday I lost a whole campaign on Commander Ironman because of a glitch in the world map that would break everything, including the pause menu. Also, I would've liked to have access to mods.

I want to like this game. I want to like it sooooo much. But I can't. First, no real customization. Your characters are premade characters and while thats not a bad thing that's not what I want in my xcom. Secondly, balance. There is none. Verge and Patch are pretty much required as the action economy is HEAVILY slanted against you. Four agents vs a dozen or so combatants means their 24 actions to your 8. You HAVE to mitigate that and you have no other options. And then there's quality. This game crashes a LOT. Between waves that dont end to reinforcements that never come to straight up program failures. Patches will fix this later but as it stands now its a point against it. In short, less variety, less choice, and less quality. It did make me go back to play xcom 2 again though. At least it only crashes occasionally.

Shelter was an important part of my impossible run. Escort missions are where he really shines, relocate to an enemy close to the exit, fracture, relocate your VIP to the fracture, VIP walks on out on his next turn. Also relocating Claymore's slow but magnificent ass to make quicker escapes. Relocate enemies into Claymore's grenades and into Godmother's close combat. Also his ability to push enemies down the turn order is real nice and let's me stop the real threats from acting whilst I pick off the weaker threats. But during the first few levels, when he has little utility and no damage abilities, yeah that felt bad and I can see why you'd say he sucks. I gave him the increased subdue damage mod and relocated in aggressively for the guaranteed damage.

Also subduing is not all that good since you get like 20% chance for intel per capture, and only the chance, the potentiall reward is allways the same and after 100% you get naught
@christianparsons4112

Guaranteed damage (even if it's only two) is always good in X-COM. If the alien only needs two damage to be downed, the 100% subdue is better than the 95% 3-5 rifle shot.
