I really don't know. One side covers support, the other damage - so right now there's just a weird mishmash of shooty abilities but they're a mess. Are you fundamentally opposed to a grenadier who isn't great with grenades but is actually useful with a gun after all the consumables have run out? Th...

I would really like to see the center tree for grenadiers get something too Any proposal for what exactly the center tree should aim to be? I really don't know. One side covers support, the other damage - so right now there's just a weird mishmash of shooty abilities but they're a mess. I leave it ...

Sting is auto-pick if you go Support Gren, but doesn't help Boomer or Fire builds. BB is getting buffed a smidge next build, but even that aside, Chain Shot's not bad to dip and can give some burst damage. I think that Boosted Cores and Biggest Booms will be still too weak in 1.5, because the damag...

What I'd like is the Suppression effect to be stronger further down the skill tree. As in, effects of Suppression stay whether they run it or not, at like MSGT. Or some kind of Covering Fire for Area Suppression targets. I like this LW always had a problem trying to take a weapon + explosives class...

I see some theorycraft responses like this that might work on rookie difficulty or w/e - I guess what I'm wondering is if anyone has any playthroughs where they effectively manage yellow alert pods rolling in and getting flank shots or if they just eat it as RNG and move on. I'm one of the Legend p...

It's not luck at all. It's very controllable. First thing to understand is that with a few exceptions (Intel Raids and such) pods don't start on yellow alert. They start on green, which is much less dangerous. The most common things that put a pod into yellow alert are: 1) hearing weapons fire/expl...

It just seems dumb luck. You can't really avoid them and suppressing isn't reliable enough (you don't start with suppressors) and I've had campaigns where yellow alert enemies just straight up KO my guys because they rush in from the side It is one of those things that feels unfair because they get ...

I used propaganda missions for exactly the reason they stated - they get advents attention

They lowered vigilance in the main region I was trying to liberate

I had oscar mike literally make the difference between getting an assault out in time on a smash in grab vs getting shot at last night The only thing I don't like about it is how finicky it is with the command range requirement and spending an action - those two things often mean that you're not eve...

I just completed a 'destroy the alien relay' mission which said it would counter the 'tactical defense' dark event

1 day later scanning and 'tactical defense completed'

What gives?

The intel part makes sense - spawns missions with more time. But I rarely see people talk about when to use them for supply, or recruit, or why on those. I kind of get how to use one area for a while then go to another to manipulate vigilance scores. I've read some really gamey stuff where people do...
