Bonds are useful if utilised correctly. Training Centre isn't an immediate purchase, you won't get much value until your troops are Lieutenants roughly.

Alien hunters DLC
Surprised you've never played it before

Do i have to uncheck the alien hunters box if i dont want to do that mission but still want to fight them and get the new armors?

>>188044739
Berserker Queen, alien ruler. Pay attention when the game tells you a big badass alien is protecting a facility.

>>188044774
He already has a GTS and resistance ring built though.

>>188044739
That would be the ayy hunters DLC

My Skirmisher wasn't pulled from my character pool. FUCK

>>188044857
I played XCOM2 at release, but stopped before any DLC came out. I got all the DLC and the new expansion for a new playthrough.

How am I supposed to kill this thing? Does it retain its HP through missions? Otherwise it feels physically impossible to kill because it opened a portal the very same turn I encountered it.

>>188044918
I didn't know what that is what it meant, I thought it was talking about some high level enemy was gonna be there, not some sort of boss.

I shit my pants.

>>188044435
What kind of armor does your sniper have? Is that a mod?

>>188045050
You can make uniforms ?

>>188045050
I have a uniform per class, with optional accessories.

>>188044739
It's one of the Alien Rulers. I'm on my first WoTC run myself and it seems like they did away with the missions for the Alien Hunters/Shen's Last Gift DLCs or squirreled them away somewhere, so you don't really get much of a warning about their existance until you assault a facility (which is now where they show up instead of a random chance to be on any mission after completing the Viper's Nest mission).

You just got your face rocked by the Berserker Queen. Consider yourself lucky - before WoTC they got to act against you on EVERY SINGLE ACTION. Including reloading your goddamn gun.

By the great and merciful gods no it does not recover HP. But it and the Viper King/Archon Queen all take a turn every time a squad member takes an action. so lock them down and take them out fast. At least that how it works in vanilla, apparently it's easier in wotc like >>188045152 said

Look on the bright side. At least now you know what the warning means and you know where the rulers will be because of it. If you were doing regular X2 with just the first two DLC they could turn up on literally any mission completely at random once you did the intro mission.

I did the unlock mission completely unprepared with basic ballistics and armor and then encountered the viper king when I went to do the blacksite. Mistakes were made on that playthrough

Yep.

Is there any better feeling than your Legendary Ironman going swimmingly?

Only had one wound, 100% success rate, and I didn't even have to reset gatecrasher more than once.

Highpoint so far was a mission where one of my guys got crit-shot (despite being in cover+aid protocol) from full to dying, and I finished the mission with a low ranking pistolero + squaddie sniper took out 4 guys, mostly with the pistolero moving on point and abusing return fire, and the fact that enemies don't shoot at you when you are paniced/mindcoontrolled, and the other sniper being too far for that.

.... and right as I type this, almost squadwiped on a supply raid mission where everything went wrong. Fucking amazing.

Jesus Christ, that reads exactly like a reddit post.

Aight lads, I have two questions
1) How do cover ops to recruit templars / reapers / skirmishers spawn? I've had two reapers in a row but now I'm trying to get another templar and I just can't, and I'm afraid if I kill the Hunter they'll stop spawning.
Which leads to my next question: so far, on every encounter I've had with the Hunter, I managed to alpha strike him and have only seen his kill zone thing (lol) and his endless summoning of stun memers. What else should I expect / how should I prepare?

I'm in a similar situation although I've yet to lose a mission.

Warlock spawning on a lost only mission and promptly making sure I lose at least one soldier in turn order every turn was a bastard but I only lost 3/5 and even got a free sharpshooter

>>188053847
I've had this happen two campaigns in a row, one in a "very OP squad, all factions early on but receiving like 15 bucks a month" and the other in the same situation as you (good strategic, shit squads).
Bad strategic is manageable but it'll get ridiculous once you have 17 weapons and two armors to upgrade and 3 weapons and two armors to build. Shit squad is manageable since you're drowning in cash so just keep on cheesing / losing until you got a GTS running + luck on recruitment covert actions.
If you're willing to savescum, you can always savescum retaliations until you get resistance friends.

What am I meant to do here?

>>188054601
Restarting the game should fix that, though it's an utter bullshit bug and even moreso on Ironman.

did WoTC change the way experience works? After killing like a billion lost, the promotions are still coming in slow.

>>188054731
Cheat with grenade snapping.

>>188054731
Battle scanners.
If you're doing the scripted mission with Elena and Mox, don't bring anything with less than 5 hp if you don't want them to eat a crit.

>>188054731
She can't Stealth if she's being flanked, in addition you can use Battle Scanners or the Specialist ability to scan a huge area.
Never ever sit and wait for the Assassin, go Flank her ass with someone who has stealth.
Scanning an area with a grenade will also make your cursor snap to her if she's in the area.

So has anyone activated Battlelord when going against an Alien Ruler? How was it?

>>188054807
Lost give less experience, they'd be broken otherwise

>>188054807
Lost are barely worth any EXP

>>188054807
Pretty sure lost kills are worth less xp. Can't confirm, though.

>>188054807
I think there's either there's a cap on kill experience per mission or any lost that doesn't start on a map doesn't give you experience.

On Lost and Abandoned specifically I somehow leveled up to the first starting class twice so I think all the xp from the first 2/3rds of that mission get reset on the start of part 3 too.

>>188054964
I havent but someone said it only activates once against an alien ruler

>>188052979

You cant wait to do the mission later so how are you supposed to do this?

Ironman, unfortunately.
In for the long ride but damn does it feel fucking bad getting the failure screen for completing the objective but being forced to retreat while a big purple dildo shit talks.
What feels worse is if you evac after tagging a bunch of crates you don't fucking get them on mission screen because "failure hehe" when bradfords blaring "Get the fuck out you got what you came for holy fuck what is wrong with you"

I think it has to do with how much lost there is. Is there a command or something I can do to just kill all lost on the level?

So, did I read the archive entry wrong or is it heavily implied that Hunter was trained by plugging him up to the Commander's memories?

Well that's that. Hype as fuck. I can't decide if we are being set up for TFTD, Apocalypse, or my more personal favorite TFTD/Apocalypse simultaneously

The device's health does not scale as the enemies get stronger. So in the early game it takes them longer, but Sectopods can practically 2-shot them.

No more wet work in GTS, and you need to rotate out your team because of fatigue = less experience gained overall.

On the flipside, there's resistance orders that you can stack for +30% experience gain. Once I got both of those, promoted everyone to colonels in no time.

So I just got my psi lab up and running

I should just save scum until the first soldier in gets dominate, right?

Well there's another campaign gone, I keep getting fucked on my first retaliation mission. Warlock is a pushover for the most part but in certain circumstances he can destroy you.

Oh, and the thing you need to destroy is vulnerable to bluescreen rounds, so if you are out of stuff to put on people, give them that.

Motherfucker.

>>188061158
Not terribly, though I think they get harder as time passes. They're split into two parts, a small cluster of rooms where you need to find a teleport pad, and then the boss arena itself. The arena spawns enemies indefinitely until you beat the Chosen which finishes the mission, so just focus them down.
