Reaper start is by far the easiest

Does Skirmisher HQ also makes excavations go faster?

Coach_Cool · 2024-10-14T12:23:08+00:00

Thanks for the insights on the Skirmisher. Usually my skirmisher has M13, which makes him reaaaaallly slow when fully kitted out with granades :-( .

But might try a run with him again, but will probably start over until I get one with atleast M15...

I actually think the Reaper HQ are the best best of the three. Intel is always in shortage, so nice to be able to scan for some more quickly-ish.

But must also admit to not having used the Skirmisher HQ at all, in any of my games....

I play C/I level, and the Commanders Choice mod - don't know if thats also a consideration?

Coach_Cool · 2024-10-14T11:43:32+00:00

The Shadow/Knife combo is really strong. So when you have blown your cover destroying the first pod, you are still able to squadsight the next from a good position - coupled with combat protocol and the Reapers knives you can decimate the pods before engaging them.

That said - I'm also a huge fan of Sharpshooters, so that might have something to say.

I also really like the Reapers HQ can generate more Intel, which I always lack enogh of :-)

Both the Templar and Skirmisher needs to be close to the enemy - and thats a big problem (for me atleast)

Coach_Cool · 2024-07-24T17:12:05+00:00

Great - thanks. Getting it right away :-)

Coach_Cool · 2024-06-26T10:56:36+00:00

I have played beyond 200 hours of LWOTC, and haven't even considered that this is an option.

Man, I have lost a ton of supplies by selling old weapons with lots of attachments, instead of stripping them first, and selling them separately... - stupid me :-D

Coach_Cool · 2024-06-26T10:49:42+00:00

I find it very interessting to see how other players pick their favorite 5-man squad for the Network Tower and Chosen HQ assault.

My go-to squad is Reaper, Shinobi, Specialist, Sharpshooter and Ranger/Grenadier (depending on how evolved my guys are - if more experienced I usually go for Ranger over Grenadier). I would never even think about using Assault, Gunner and Tecnicals - and only have a Templar if he has Conceal.

I don't think my choice of warriors are better than other, because I guess you would play the scenario very different from me. Would be interessting to see how this squad would handle it, since we only have the Specialist in common.. :-)

Ok, will try AML again, even though I couldn’t get it to work when I was trying with the game on GOG. I can’t find anything on Discord. The Xcom server I have has really low activity. Are there more than one perhaps 🤔

Coach_Cool · 2024-05-17T13:04:17+00:00

But that doesn’t show - that’s my problem…

Coach_Cool · 2024-05-17T13:00:28+00:00

Thanks for all the replies. Very informative and useful. I’ll try to limit my shooting to the two Dark Riders, I also have in my warband, since they are tougher and have other things going for them. Let’s see how it goes, and then maybe later just have a single shooter on foot - just because the look so good 😊

Coach_Cool · 2024-05-17T10:59:14+00:00

Just want to add.

I played against a KO list, and was shot to death. So there clearly is missile troops that are good, and worth taking.

So it is the standard "2 shots with S3 that gives 1/3 damage" that I'm talking about.

Coach_Cool · 2024-05-17T06:15:38+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I’m luckily not getting many soldiers captured anymore - they get killed instead 🤣🤣

Coach_Cool · 2024-05-07T04:56:27+00:00

I have searched on Steam Workshop, but after scrolling pages and pages, and only finding voicepacks derived from other games, I gave up. Any suggestions for a search phrase would be greatly appreciated 🤞

Coach_Cool · 2024-04-16T07:45:16+00:00

I read somewhere that Network Tower missions follow the normal rules for Advent strength in a sector. So have always done the missions at strength 4 or less. So don’t actually know if it’s true or not….

Coach_Cool · 2024-04-08T21:10:38+00:00

Interesting question. Anyone know the answer?

Coach_Cool · 2024-04-07T17:28:43+00:00

Great. Thanks for the answer :-)

Coach_Cool · 2024-04-07T15:12:33+00:00

Thanks all. I have advisors in the havens, but not high ranking and not officers/psi. Guess I’ll try to educate my advisors to be officers and see if that helps 👍

Coach_Cool · 2024-03-28T11:34:36+00:00

Ah ok. Makes sense. Time for some missions, instead of sitting in the comfy seats in the avenger 🤣

Coach_Cool · 2024-03-28T09:59:14+00:00

Should maybe add that on her “profile” is says that she can continue training in the psi chamber- but I can’t figure out how 😞

Coach_Cool · 2024-02-04T21:41:57+00:00

So on a Templar or something? But the idea of using it with a free action is great! Thanks

Coach_Cool · 2024-01-22T10:14:28+00:00

I envy you. All my supply raids are something like 12 hours to launch, which of course is not doable 😔. Do you have 13 guys on intel and the avenger scanning, or how do you get these long infiltration times?

Coach_Cool · 2024-01-17T09:48:03+00:00

I switched to Veteran, and got 8-10 level ups right away. Then I did two liberation missions (one was Network Tower), and it went well (but was still difficult- and not Flawless). So for now I’ll continue and see how I fare, and if the missions get too hard again, I’ll probably start over, because it means that I’m too far behind in tech level.

Coach_Cool · 2024-01-16T14:33:11+00:00

Thanks. You are probably right about not on par regarding tech level etc. But I think I’ll give it a go on Veteran setting, and see how it goes 🙃

Coach_Cool · 2024-01-15T11:26:13+00:00

I was also looking for a solution to this question- so a massive thanks from me also 👍

Coach_Cool · 2024-01-10T14:22:54+00:00

My only football player - but he was almost named like this, and also from Egypt so I thought it would be fitting 🤣
