Psionic Hit Rate (for both aliens and XCOM) = Psi Power + 50 - Enemy Will

So, your soldier had a 30% chance of being affected.

Funky targeting on these abilities is a known issue which I believe will be fixed in 1.2.

Like Manifest says, you need to liberate a region to view the progress, but an important thing to note is that even though you can't see it yet, the clock is still ticking - you sound like you're pretty far into the game, so I'd strongly recommend focusing on securing a region for yourself, or you c...

Will doesn't actually influence Psi Power - XCOM 2 has its own 'Psi Offence' stat, which is hidden on soldiers who you don't train to be Psi Operatives. You are correct in identifying Dodge and Defence, and yes, positive is better. Defence represents a direct reduction in enemy hit chance (So an ene...

You're looking for http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=624799134&searchtext= , which has this functionality, but you'll need to edit the config a bit - in the config file XComAimRoll.ini in the mod directory, change +ENABLE_EU_AIM_ROLLS=TRUE to false, and then +SHOW_CHANCES=fal...

Are you sure that they are actually not benefiting from cover? Because shot accuracy doesn't have anything to do with whether a unit is crouching or not, that's just an animation that they play. If the rebel is not 'really' in cover (as far as the game is concerned), they would have a yellow shield ...

I'm looking at the Dark Event lists in XComGameCore right now, and I'm a little bit confused by how they are structured - for instance, Deadshot: DeadShotApplicationChance=50 DeadShotApplicationRules=eAR_CustomList +DeadShotApplicationArray="NajaM1" +DeadShotApplicationArray="NajaM2&q...

Undamaged Yellow Alert enemies can: StandardShot, Overwatch, SniperStandardFire, SniperRifleOverwatch, LightEmUp, HunkerDown, Suppression, Suppression_LW, AreaSuppression, Mindspin, WarCry, MarkTarget, EnergyShield, EnergyShieldMk3, BlazingPinionsStage1, DevastatingPunch, ChryssalidSlash, Teleport,...

Well... aim is what Sharpshooters do. It is not exactly the same, in that aim is a general soldier ability that some classes happen to be better at, rather than something that is (and always has) been pretty much a Specialist exclusive, but 'shoot stuff better than classes that don't shoot stuff goo...

The same reason Specialists don't shoot twice per turn, use Area Suppression, or fire rockets. Hacking is their 'thing' - you bring them on a mission in part to use that feature of the class, in the same way as you bring any other class to use their special features.

Fleche gives bonus damage based on the distance moved as part of the attack, I believe +1 every 4 tiles by default. Yes and OP is saying that movement that is not part of the attack is causing strange behaviour. If you move towards the target and then fleche, you should not be doing more damage tha...

johnnylump said something like "Not. Gonna. Happen." about renaming center mass once. Must be an insider. Similar with "materiel". Materiel is an actual word (which is distinct from Material). Not changing the perk name is calling attention to an absurd UI bug that Firaxis never...

TMaekler wrote: I thought Graze brings it to 55 Hit / 20 Graze / 25 Miss (the 10 Graze go + and - 10 around the 65).

Whoops, that was a mistake on my part - that is correct.

And yes, dodge is applied separately after critical chance.

Defence applies to the initial hit chance, bringing it to 65% or 45 Hit / 20 Graze / 35 Miss. Dodge then applies last in the same way that Critical Chance does, just in reverse - so it goes: Crit applies: 23% Crit, 32% Hit, 10% Graze, 35% Miss -> Dodge applies: 20% Crit, 30% Hit, 13% Graze, 37% Miss...

After a successful mission, soldiers receive an amount of xp for completing the mission = [the number of enemies on the mission (not counting reinforcements)] / [the number of soldiers on the mission (minimum 3)] * [a per class multiplier, default 5.7]. So, a 4 soldier mission with 12 enemies earns...

I'm pretty sure the xp system does count kill experience from reinforcements, it just doesn't include them in the per mission experience that all soldiers receive. Regardless of whether that is true or not, this explanation I gave on reddit is otherwise accurate to my understanding: After a successf...

Mobility is equal to the distance a soldier can move in a single action expressed in metres, with a single tile in the game being 1.5 metres to a side. So a soldier with 12 Mobility (15 Base - 3 Utility Items) can move 12 metres, or 12 / 1.5 = 8 tiles. A character can move up to twice their mobility...

Shen has her own special versions of Combat Protocol and Capacitor Discharge which function on a cooldown - if you can use it turn after turn without stopping then that's a bug, but it is otherwise intentional that she can keep using them all mission. (It worked that way in vanilla too)

I like assaults or technical advisers. Technical rocket is amazing for wasting one of the pods from concealment, and then you can torch the faceless. But this would prevent you from recovering a large part of the loot and corpses no? With most missions now being "extraction" type with no ...

How do you remove the upgrades? I have several nicely equipped rifles laying around and a laser equipped squad When you go to the 'upgrade weapon' screen where you attach them, you can either click the 'x' that appears in the corner of a particular upgrade when you mouse over it, or hit 'strip weap...

I don't know that I've seen it in vanilla before, but the AI takes actions (visually) out of order all the time in my experience with LW2 so far.

This is being added in the next LW2 update - the person who that image is from is from must be one of the testers.

- Fixed bug preventing tactical DEs (Alien navigator-type upgrades) from occurring. This will cause a meaningful increase in difficulty. I don't understand this. Can someone explain? Dark Events that give enemies new abilities are not applying correctly. Now if an event passes that gives them a new...

- Lost Towers POI won't appear to FL 8;

Will the mission be further tweaked to account for appearing later, or is this purely to delay SPARKs a bit? The mission is pretty straightforward to do the moment it appears as is, more tech and experience will make it more so.
