      Weak to Close Range. There's a difference.
      But yeah, it is annoying when they have that combo. At least Bladestorm isn't counted as a melee attack, so you can Run and Gun to them, blast them in the face and then trigger Bladestorm the next turn when they relocate.

      @@serathaevistille995 Probably a coding oversight by the devs. Due to it functioning similar to Overwatch, it likely is treated as a shot rather than a melee attack.
      I think the only Chosen immune to this at all times (obviously, they are immune to it if they have Shadow Step) is the Assassin, but only when she goes for her melee attack and the subsequent Bending Reed. Both of these actions do not trigger Overwatch.

      Even Elite tier Priests are not guaranteed. Tactical legacy pack gives you a guaranteed way to kill a Sustained Priest though, the LMG has a Stock equipped, so if a Priest goes into Sustain, you can have your Grenadier go on Overwatch. The Priest will likely move on his next turn, meaning he's dead, regardless of whether your Grenadier hits or misses.

    Can we just take a moment to appreciate this: Sethroven mocked the Hunter for making a poor decision by saying he was meant to be equivalent to XCOM's commander (Seth), but isnt. Seth, determined to prove himself wrong, made an equally poor decision by forgetting about his dazed soldier. Thus, the hunter was in fact an equivalent to the commander, AKA, they both suck. xD

    • @Sethorven
      @Sethorven  3 роки тому +2

      I don't know for certain if the Chosen take poison aim penalties but assuming they do, that was a -15 (I think?) Penalty against a target in full cover, with his side arm.
      Full cover gives incoming shots a -40 penalty so the Hunter had a roughly -65 penalty to that shot. I don't know what his base sidearm aim is, but I'd hazard a guess that he had a roughly 25-30% chance to hit that shot. Jesus.

    As for why you couldn't Justice that one Stun Lancer: It's because justice needs a square to put the lancer in after you pull it which is still in melee reach of the Skirmisher in the same direction that the pull was targeted. Essentially since you grappled to the edge of the roof and didn't move it couldn't pull it towards you since that would just make it fall and thus your melee would hit nothing. In order for Justice to work there must be an open tile in one of the 3 spaces in front of the skirmisher on the same plane as the skirmisher.
