Mid-Late game shinobi solo infiltrations
Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2017 4:47 pm
I'd like to describe my experience and wondering if anyone else shares it.
I'm mid-late game playing on Veteran (Advanced Mags, saving cores for shadow chamber, just finished elurium research) and I have two highly leveled infiltration shinobis (with ghostwalker, covert, conceal, and tradecraft).
I'm starting to find that anytime I get any "hack the thing and evac" missions, anything I do other than "send the shinobi by himself" feels suboptimal. The basic tactic usually goes:
1. Infiltrate to at least LIGHT (doesn't take long with tradecraft + suppressor + chameleon suit)
2. Get nearish to the objective.
3. Find a spot where you can't see any aliens.
4. Throw beacon within blue move of objective (blows concealment)
5. Activate Conceal
6. Stay concealed until evac is ready
7. Activate Ghostwalker and move next to objective
8. Hack and evac
I find that every time I try to take more soliders, I end up wishing I'd gone with just the solo shinobi. Am I nuts for thinking that these missions might be a little too easy once you get a shinobi with Conceal? Or should I just be playing on a slightly harder difficultly?
