Can I beat XCOM 2 WOTC as The Chosen? (Ep. 16)

great mod, great voice, one of the best hours in my life

Enjoyed the challenge run, just like the rest of them, but I'm a little confused with Mutons now. Does Bladestorm not trigger their counter? Or is it always a chance to trigger counter with melee? Always been fearful of getting close with bladestorm on a soldier but I've seen it not trigger a few times and haven't actually seen any attempt it in my campaigns, except for the first time with a Templar which I thought was odd.

I might have missed a bit on the video as well to get a clear view of how it works, might have looked away or wasn't paying attention when it was used against a Muton in other sections, but was gripped on the ending and saw it. Might just be the Chosen?

weirdly the black screen with the blacksite vial also triggers if you use a bonus soldier from the reaper cards, even if hes just a regular soldier.

The only thing I can imagine is the absolute brutality and monitor throwing it must be to try to kill the chosen with only a team of rookies

Eww why would you play as a chosen, that's even worse than using a skirmisher

Xcom 3

ive been using the community promotion screen for so long i actually had no idea that you couldn't get multiple talents for sparks in the base game. kinda feels like ive cheated on some of my runs now but oh well

Correction. Lost World is an incredibly dangerous dark event in the mobile version of the game. The app chugs and can even crash if you get more than 40 enemies on a mission. I had to reload a lost map 5 times to get through it on an Ironman.

This feels like a D2 Fireteam there's even a Hunter and a Warlock
shame the Assassin isn't a Titan however

All the cannon fodder solders are black :/

How do you actually install the mod I keep trying but I get it as an RAR file

how can i use this mod with AML

this works well with advent armor/weapons mods now all i need is a mod that turn advent into xcom

C l o s e R a n g e

now we just need a full advent pov campaign

Now I need to redownload and play this.

I always thought it be super cool if the Commander could capture the Hunter instead of killing him. He is "falling" for his humanity, being a cocky bastard and all. With the Elders gone, he could likely reclaim even more of it, perhaps even his memories. The Warlock and Assassin are too much in love with their Chosen personas, but the Hunter ...

can't wait trying this mod with lwotc

I wonder if you can use Obduction to move bodies? Like if there is a way threw ability to use them for all the things they cant do? prop not but science is required!

This was awesome, I'd love to see a playthrough with alien units on our side modded in

basically this is what happens if the commander, commands the chosen, they are unstoppable HAHAHAHHAHA

"Return fire is a horrible ability"

You're allowed to be wrong....

I wish that you could do a "XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within, but I can only use alien units" type of challenge run.

There is another mod that let's you use the the snake and other "bosses" as well.

I always thought it would have been really cool to be playing as ADVENT, against the remnants of XCOM.

What did I learn from this video: xcom is pretty easy when you're the enemy

It'd be thematically cool if you also were allowed to use skirmishers, but I understand that partly defeat the point of the challenge

The hunter is God Awfully weak

Food for thought regarding the mind controlled codex and skulljacking. You can still make a really potent solution with that. Mind control it and then you gain control, clear the map and then evac the warlock. The mind control will break and you can skulljack the codex.

I start to think your xcom game (files) is cursed

When the chosen are fighting xcom they cant team up, should they all be on missions just because they switched teams?

by the way, im pretty sure its because melee attacks move the person using the attack, so the beserker was only attacking, not moving

I AM XCOM'S GREATEST CHAMPION!

We fight the entire game to keep them away from the avenger and now suddenly they're casually strolling through the entire thing

Cannon 'THE THIRD' fodder.

Great video Drifter. @14.40 the 'Return Fire' ability actually says: fire back with your Gremlin. Did you get a chance to see what that was like? Btw I loved seeing that Harbor Wave was buffed by Blademaster as well - makes sense as it's a blade ability but still a nice detail I think 😁

I think that XCOM doesn't show you numbers that include the opponent's dodge rate, which is why it seems like shots miss a lot more than they should, and why 100% shots can miss. Either that, or it rounds up to show you the rate so actually you've got like, a 92.8% shot and it calls it 93%.

Play as rulers?

The thing is I believe the reason why the game considered them robotic units is due to the developers wanting save time with coding them, likely they copied a portion of the script for robotic units and just made adjustments from there so they are partially robotic units but also humanoid or organic units I guess, let's just call this kinda script augmented units for now but once they are in a way augmented with some kinda powers

Well technically chosen once were X-com soliders.

With in "Progeny" mission in X-com enemy within After saving Annette you can have mission to save 3 others like her.
In game they all are set with names and classes and are NOT randomly generated, also they are all 100% psi.

Matthew "Alecto" Hawkins: American Sniper, Lieutenant rank, HP 7, Will 70, Aim 84. (aka Chosen Hunter)
Said "Megaera" Tariq: Egyptian Support, Lieutenant rank, HP 7, Will 72, Aim 79. (aka Chosen Warlock)
Fatima "Tisiphone" Tariq: Egyptian Assault, Lieutenant rank, HP 7, Will 71, Aim 76. (aka Chosen Assasin)

Also there was planned 4th chosen (by going with that logic it was supose to be Annette herself changed) with Robotic faction (it's not explained alot but they were probably ex MEC soliders)

My best guess is that the Warlock's healing ability only works on humanoids, and that the Chosen are classified as non-humanoid aliens?

Try a nearly perfect run for a real challenge - it something i do from time to time -
Its where only 1 soldier can take damage each mission, and no deaths allowed either. Or start again
it really makes you take youre time and erradicate blunders -
