The special soldiers would be terrifying to fight. One is an unseen ghost that you only know is there because your friends keep dropping dead around you, another is a frenzied zealot rushing through walls of bullets to cut you with holy fervor and the third one is a former comrade that is so good at doing so many things that he feels less like advent and more like the Doom marine.

"One is an unseen ghost" I hate reapers so much. It claims to be a 50/50 chance of revealing upon a kill but everytime I do so it ALWAYS reveals them. I have genuienly never fired a shot with a reaper and not been spotted.
@dahelmang7 ай бұрын
@@schnitzelfritzel6287 Yeah I don't use them to shoot things. They are the best scouts and spotters ever though. If your sharpshooters have line of sight they can pummel your enemies from the other side of the map. So they will never know what hit them.
@InsaneFrame7 ай бұрын
Dahelmang is very right rather then use them independently the reaper is a support unit first and foremost the best way to use them is pairing them up with someone and either finishing or weakening an enemy but sharpshooter and reaper is a savage combo
@jurassician37257 ай бұрын
The Mocx mod actually has enemy classes as enemies. If they actually do their actions they are very nasty. Honestly, Skirmishers are probably the biggest problem(Enemy Reapers and Templars are addons to the MOCX mod) because them ripping you out of cover is absolutely horrifying due to them usually having friends.

In preparation for the Templar, they are Tanks. Make them good at "Parry", beef up their HP if you can, see if you can get even more damage reductions and "Deflect" plus "Reflect" is good value for what you pay. Also the ability they have to make a clone of themselves "Ghost", is very nice as long as you can keep it around, aka not using all of it's focus up. Also also be aware the "Arc Wave" ability is amazing but if you don't pay attention you can accidentally blow something up you didn't want to blow up and damage/kill yourself. If you get a Templar with "Bladestorm", the run is almost won, rpobably and if you get "Impleccable" that is also pretty good.

And even when 2 of its intended habilities are bugged (Battlelord, the one you pick, who let you make an action per enemy action, and the special overwatch you let you do other actions instead). If not, the Skirmisher would be the most powerful class on par with the Psi-Ops. I do believe they see him like this and go "HELL NO" and bugged the abilities on purpose. There is a mod who fix that issue, and also make Parkour a 15% change to get a free action per enemy turn instead. I could see why they though Skirmishers would be a little more overpowered.

Man, it's been so long since I played a vanilla game of WotC I'd forgotten how annoying some of the Skirmisher stuff is. I've modded in Skirmisher cooldowns instead of single-use abilities, and Parkour reduces the Grappling Hook cooldown by one. Not OP, but fantastic QoL stuff.

My main problem with the skirmisher is that they don't play especially well with the rest of the team. Their unparalleled mobility isn't as useful if the rest of the squad can't follow them. They are still useful for getting from one side of the combat to the other to help out an out of position soldier but the other classes are generally better. Obviously, none of this applies to a solo run.
