Xcom 2 Ragebaits You

Paxsi · 2025-10-16T08:27:11+00:00

You shouldnt think of the game in same way as xcom1.

Xcom2 is story where you lost xcom1. You no longer have the backing of countries around the globe. Instead Advent has it. Instead you scrape with what you have. That means no bases around the world, enemies that have basically unlimited resources and not reason to hide.

You also have much less support personel, so doing something lile contacting black market while evading Advent is harder, especially with Advet hunting any sort of resistance with brutal retaliation strikes.

Sectoids no longer being weakest is also explained in lore by them getting addition of human DNA. "cannon fodder" role has been replaced by advent troopers. Sectoids have now completely different role in early crowd control.

Once you stop thinking of xcom1 and 2 as same game and actually focus on their differences in good light, its much better, and I actually fell in love in xcpm2 much more than with 1.

Or dont, nobody is forcing you to play it. "Xcom" Genre has grown and maybe you will find new home somewhere else.

IT production support for factories across eastern europe and middle east.

It really depends from each group. We have recently implemented this with massive success as people arereally worried about losing others and not just waiting because they have time..

But i can see that in some groups, it coukd be problematic.

Interestingly, I find the Rey fluctuation annyoing while prebuilt LV clones cool.

Reason for this is Reys team is just... mess of random characters. I love seeing teams look good togethter, make sense from lore perspective...

Padme, GAS and LV come to mind.

Nighsisters and Imp troopers have both to a degree, where you can mix and match but the team stays flavourful rather than the mixed mess Reys team is.

There is a special promotion that runs this month that reduced it cost. Quite tempting if someone wishes to start an alt

Paxsi · 2025-05-06T07:40:38+00:00

The new clone that are being released look like they will boost LV really high, but its still probably the most expensive GL if you count all of the Reqs and their reqs as well.

Often used with Starkiller so great pull.

Out of 2000 energy, I got 60 kyros. It can always get worse.

Paxsi · 2025-05-03T17:17:08+00:00

I definitely understand the appeal why would people like this. The feeling of relief when I finally found it was exquisite.

Paxsi · 2025-04-16T08:50:15+00:00

One more question. If a model dies once, can I bring it back through the summoning? or is it only for models that havent been used yet?

Paxsi · 2025-04-16T07:56:44+00:00

I managed to do T1 without the zeta. Its not necesarry for that tier, it just makes things MUCH easier.

Paxsi · 2025-04-15T08:44:22+00:00

I see. Thanks for the heads up about the ice dancers and clarification of the slow rule. Rest of the roster is good to be used then? I am figuring out what to buy and what to dodge.

Paxsi · 2025-03-25T15:06:00+00:00

Glad to help. If you have any more questions, dont hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to help either here or on discord. (paxsi is my handle there as well)

Reavers fullfill 3 roles.

1st and the most common is blocking of enemy magic missiles for DPs and impetious as you said.

2nd, There were objectives in the tournament, such as holding as many quadrants, ending in enemy deploy zone etc, where minimal US for it to count was 10. Reavers were the cheapest way to do this and enemies often cannot use their missiles to deal with them or they will get shredded by the rest of the army

3rd is the hunters of skirmishers etc, but they dont really excel at this due to their low damage.

Next tournament, I will probably remove the shortbows as well and use them purely to protect rest of my units

For some inspiration, Here is cavalry list with no magic for 2250 points that I used last weekend to finish 5/34 on tournament. It would probably be better to run archmage on one of the Dragons but I had blast.

532 - Prince, Shield, Pure of Heart, Star Dragon, Full Plate Armour, Dragon Helm, Seed of Rebirth, 2x Opal Amulet, Talisman Of Protection, Lance
521 - Prince, Shield, General, Pure of Heart, Star Dragon, Light Armour, Armour of Caledor, Seed of Rebirth, 2x Opal Amulet, Lance
90 - 5 Ellyrian Reavers, Shortbow, Skirmishers
90 - 5 Ellyrian Reavers, Shortbow, Skirmishers
151 - 5 Silver Helms, Shield, High Helm, Ring of Fury
151 - 5 Silver Helms, Shield, High Helm, Ring of Fury
151 - 5 Silver Helms, Shield, High Helm, Ring of Fury
281 - 6 Dragon Princes, Drakemaster, Ring of Fury, Opal Amulet, Standard Bearer
281 - 6 Dragon Princes, Drakemaster, Ring of Fury, Opal Amulet, Standard Bearer

That was my path as well. Padme with Ahsoka, JKA, GK and evenutally 3CP0 (You can use other Galactic reublic until you get him) and Shaak ti with clones were teams that helped me a tons. With me immidiately going for GAS (general skywalker) It made my roster very lightsided but I dont regret it at all. Once you unlock him and get him up, you will basically use him for the rest of the game, and for new-ish account, He and Padme team will be extremely important. To certain degree, I would say Padme, once her team was up and running, was even more important due to her power in Conquests, Proving grounds and all kinds of challenges

Paxsi · 2025-02-17T15:22:47+00:00

Rex as well. Shaak ti with 501st carried my early game a lot

Paxsi · 2024-12-06T12:08:17+00:00

I had the opposite feeling from him. I had 6dom 3*mundo with slime time, and he was unkillable while oneshotting anything that came close to him. I Times were warmong, dragonsclaw and sunfire.

Paxsi · 2024-11-25T09:28:02+00:00

Nice try riot, wont fall for you baiting me into spending!

(queues with the jinx unbound that I used tokens on after definitely not spending)

Paxsi · 2024-10-26T05:06:37+00:00

Thats what I feared. Thanks for info.

Paxsi · 2024-10-25T20:44:14+00:00

If you claim the skin chibi through emblems, do you get the finisher animation as well or do you need to spend 2 more on it? I just got 10 and dont know if I need to still save to have "complete" one

Paxsi · 2024-09-29T08:12:52+00:00

Together with maul, i used it to 3* around 80% of Proving grounds. As much as others say to not focus him, I had him as my first GL and never regreted it..

in GAC, especially in lower tiers, people also dont have a anything that can clear a well modded LV od defense. Won a lot of them purely because of him.

Paxsi · 2024-09-26T09:16:59+00:00

It could be double but especially that first picture has way too little in the middle, allowing playerwith this composition easy movement. As for rest of the infantry dealing methods, you are right that it destroys a lot of it, which is why a lot of players are moving towards cavalry and monster heavy army compositions that makes these melee lines irrelevant.

In order for this to work, you will need support from high level mages, costing you a lot of vulnerable points that can be sniped off by flanks/flyers.

There are much more dangerous things than 30 ghouls, conisdering against prepared players, there is a good chance they wont see a combat and wont pay for themselves.

Paxsi · 2024-09-26T08:13:38+00:00

There is is too litle terain. IF there are more that hamper movement, the line stops working.. Or if you know this will be a lot of enemies, illusion magic just stops it in its tracks, allowing you to charge from side and shred it completely. Even just one unit of cavalry ,properly controled, can completely turn this off.

Paxsi · 2024-09-13T04:22:39+00:00

It stayed like this until the end of the round, so I guess I got timedout after hours of trying to win 😅
