faceoff shinobi.
There is nothing better than sneaking a concealed shinobi up to an unactivated pod and using faceoff with a mag pistol.
That is all.
That is all.

Re: faceoff shinobi.
You mean besides then giving that shinobi an action with command, using reaper, and then wiping out said pod of course.

Re: faceoff shinobi.
My Shinobi is still in cover and isn't risking activating another pod. Melee Shinobi's are probably the weakest class except for the first month or two. All my Shinobis go stealth with gun training.

I absolutely adore wiping out pods with reaper, or I did until I regularly encountered mutons who have counter-attack and just rifle-butt smack my elite axe wielding master of melee death.Narcissistic_Martyr wrote:You mean besides then giving that shinobi an action with command, using reaper, and then wiping out said pod of course.

Pfft tell that to my axe wielding Reaper Shinobi Field Marshal. She has literally killed 30 enemies in a single mission, with warden and tactical vest or chitin plating and the dodge up per person you see, put her with a superior dodge PCS... Holy shit she just... Destroys. She also got rapid deployment and a free smoke grenade in her inventory, so reaper through a few things, throw smoke beside the last reaper target and stab it.UraniumOverdose wrote:My Shinobi is still in cover and isn't risking activating another pod.

She can literally stand in the open without cover and has survived four pods shooting at her at the same time after she took out two whole pods on her own.

Sure there is. Replace the mag pistol with a coil pistol, or a plasma pistol.UraniumOverdose wrote:There is nothing better than sneaking a concealed shinobi up to an unactivated pod and using faceoff with a mag pistol.

Center Mass and similar traits are primary only, but good try.cerebrawl wrote:On a Shinobi with center mass and hunter's instincts.Arcalane wrote:Sure there is.

I speak from experience when I say those two work with pistols. It's pretty neat when one of my assaults shoot an alien for 5-8 damage with his laser pistol.Arcalane wrote:Center Mass and similar traits are primary only, but good try.cerebrawl wrote:On a Shinobi with center mass and hunter's instincts.Arcalane wrote:

Lethal is primary only though.

Re: faceoff shinobi.
Yea very wrong. If you click the little question mark (assuming you can, i.e. not an AWC perk), it says "primary weapons, pistols, and sawed-offs".Arcalane wrote:Center Mass and similar traits are primary only, but good try.cerebrawl wrote:On a Shinobi with center mass and hunter's instincts.Arcalane wrote:

It's waaaaaay better. I often have my Gunners with CM using a pistol too just for giggles.
Re: faceoff shinobi.
Oop, my bad. I don't use pistols too often (my primary Ranger has one but that's it-- most everyone else uses their utility slots for grenades/armour/etc.) rather than having a pistol.cerebrawl wrote:I speak from experience when I say those two work with pistols.

...what about that Sniper one in the middle tree that's +4? That could be terrifying with Fan Fire/Faceoff.
Re: faceoff shinobi.
I haven't gotten there yet, but it does say primary weapon, so probably just like Lethal, but with double the bonus.Arcalane wrote:...what about that Sniper one in the middle tree that's +4? That could be terrifying with Fan Fire/Faceoff.
