combatives+bladestorm?

[chaosxxxxx]

So,what if i have both skills,and a muton decides to stab me?
Would i get a slice first,and then counter his melee,therefore getting 2 sword attacks?
Also,can mutons counter bladestorm/reaction slice?

The Muton triggers Bladestorm first. After that resolves it starts the bayonet attack and triggers combatives. Mutons don't get to counter your counter. So a Muton can eat two sword strikes if it makes the mistake of trying to stab into bladestorm/combatives.

Sounds like a sweet combo against mutons,
Not stunnnies,since in my experience they seem to be a tad unpredictable.
Instead of the xcom 2 tiles away,they will often run and poke my sharpshooter who was located across the map.
Mutons u can just bait by putting urself on an adjacent flanked position....

This combo works so damn well. I've already baited a ton of Mutons to their deaths with that combo. Almost borderline broken

Be advised that the main reason for the existence of that combo seems to be the higher numbers and earlier introduction of Chryssalids.

So you might want to have a few Kensai soldiers at hand by that time.

I just had a mediocre bladestormer kill seven enemies when I camped the extraction marker for fun. They piled up in front of her, ending with a muton sitting on his arse on top of six dead advent soldiers.

My new plan is to field one officer specialist and the seven samurai for a troop column.

It may not end well for them.
