I probably would have used Reapers even more but it wasn't until about mid-game that I had realized I was pretty much using them all wrong as I was almost using them as a second sniper and not a scout and didn't realize if you pretty much focus on killshots with them they can go a whole mission concealed. Second favorite was probably Ranger as I had one with Shredder that wrecked those Sectopods in one turn and after that the Reaper which was pretty much a must have in my party and I was actually able to recruit two Reapers in this campaign so I pretty much rotated when one was too tired. Game finished after 110 hours and just amazing, will be doing another play-through maybe after I finish Valkyrie Chronicles 4 but man the Sniper became my favorite class especially with the Spider Suit I they can get like 5 turns in one go especially with Lightning Hands and the soldier I used had Run & Gun, she pretty much took out the Avatars all by herself.

Yeah, that's basically the standard strategy. I like to think that it didn't become my favorite title in the last years without good reasons. P.S: Glad you're enjoying the game chanman. The reason is simple when you think about it: what's the class that has rarely need to spend its action firing a weapon and when it does can benefit massively of bonus aim, extremely HIGH single shot damage without worrying too much about remaining out of ammo the next turn? Yeah, it was a rhetorical question. It's also worth noting that if worse comes to worse, the Psionic's stasis can freeze the ruler for the entirety of the current turn, not just one action.įun fact: the Psionic is also basically the IDEAL carrier for the bolt caster. More in general all the 'Hunter weapons' that come with the Alient Hunters introducing these bosses tend to be extremely effective against them.Īnd so are all Free actions that don't trigger movements (throwing axe, whiplash, etc, etc). Of course, the latter requires a major Reaper, so it presumes a fairly advanced campaign. Click to shrink.Yeah, that's basically the standard strategy.Įxcept for the concealment/overwatch part that can be fairly situational.īladestorm rangers/templars and Reaper's Banish can make short work of any ruler.
