Hi all,
Well I'm 32 hours into my first run, just got to the point of no return, so think i'm about to finish the game. It defo gets easier as you go on, had many timed missions that i evac'd on the last turn. Had the avatar clock go into countdown but got it all the way back to 5 blocks, so well under half way. It's tense at times but i like it, makes each choice tough, "lesser of two or three evils" whilst putting out fires
Few things that are a must for me,
Sniper on high ground = one of the best units in the game, reaper skill can take out countless units in one go, fit A.P rounds and its death across the map time.
Hack everything the bonus you can get from the lamp posts can be a game changer, had one which gave me random control of an enemy unit, it happened to be the best unit they had, so they focused on that unit, until i got my troops into better positions.
Always take two grenade launcher troops with exo suits which have the rocket launchers, need line of sight just make a hole.
Just stated to send out a psi troop to replace the ranger, had two in training for ages they both have every skill and to be honest its the most OP troop in the game, gatekeeper pops out take total control of it with domination
it has issues but over all its a great game, really enjoy it...
My normal squad, Sniper, 2 Grenade, 2 specials (1 hack, 1 heal), Psi or ranger
