Re: SPARK builds?

Redshirt what difficulty are you playing and do you play with the Shen missions enabled? I've been finding both Sparks and psi to be an unaffordable luxury on Legend, whereas I did find room on Commander. I just tanked another Legend campaign. This time in October, which really hurt. Long period wh...

Re: Just finished my Veteran campaign, any advice before starting Commander?

Research datapads (not needed on Commander) and expand. Build havens. Even with this you will be poor in April but not in May. Dig the Avenger and skip GTS / AWC for Workshop and dig more with gremlins. ( I never had time to put anything in them in first month - why to rush them?) First scientist is...

Re: SPARK builds?

You need to mod them - they are garbage compared to human. M3 is end of them.
You actually don't need any . Turn off Shen Last gift an pick better reward.
Best Spark is high defense formidable gunner + Med Specialst or two. This is the earliest formidable in game so this is first Spark + usable POI

Re: Just finished my Veteran campaign, any advice before starting Commander?

Don't rush Liberation missions - you need proper squad. Most things are +1 /+2 HP or more. Ballistic is super weak against them . SMG is almost useless, bombs are mediocre choice - if you can throw them. Your Assaults do not kill / all classes do not kill for quite long time. Flank is the best/risky...

Don't do anything ASAP. Liberation chain will respawn if you choose Legendary or Commander Also dashes are only thing that make some missions successful but game have dashing classes. Try to infiltrate 100% and more in early game. You can't kill many Advent with overwatch. Focus on rebels there is n...

Re: Weird challenges in late game

I have those from start without equipment . UFO-s loves to land and screw my Scientist pick-up.
And everything is M3 for basic SMG. 1 dmg graze on full flank or miss is nice to have on 4 man GOPs.
This is the moment when you realize - Abort button do exist .

Re: Suppression Question

If your gunner is hit - suppression ends (forget about ammo). Dodge and defense will reduce chances for your gunner to take hit. Area suppression with low ammo is better than nothing. Drop flashbang on that and some smoke. Area suppression is never useless. Single suppression is for hard target if y...

Re: Does anyone else train a bunch of suicide Shinobies?

It was joke. My previous post.
I found better way to kill my barracks.
Under-infiltration. I will probably send 7 Sparks and Shinobi.
Nice thing about Sparks is - they do not commit suicide .

Killing Shinobi is a Sin.

Re: Best region to liberate?

3 well placed HQ can screw whole map for some time. Liberation chain adds +2 strength (desired) and don't care about vigilance. Some things just do not care about vigilance. To control strength (sort off) you must expand. So many events just add strength. Your non contacted rebels can produce vigila...
