So,what if i have both skills,and a muton decides to stab me?
Would i get a slice first,and then counter his melee,therefore getting 2 sword attacks?
Also,can mutons counter bladestorm/reaction slice?
combatives+bladestorm?

Re: combatives+bladestorm?
The Muton triggers Bladestorm first. After that resolves it starts the bayonet attack and triggers combatives. Mutons don't get to counter your counter. So a Muton can eat two sword strikes if it makes the mistake of trying to stab into bladestorm/combatives.

Re: combatives+bladestorm?
Sounds like a sweet combo against mutons,
Not stunnnies,since in my experience they seem to be a tad unpredictable.
Instead of the xcom 2 tiles away,they will often run and poke my sharpshooter who was located across the map.
Mutons u can just bait by putting urself on an adjacent flanked position....

Re: combatives+bladestorm?
This combo works so damn well. I've already baited a ton of Mutons to their deaths with that combo. Almost borderline broken
Re: combatives+bladestorm?
Be advised that the main reason for the existence of that combo seems to be the higher numbers and earlier introduction of Chryssalids.
So you might want to have a few Kensai soldiers at hand by that time.

I just had a mediocre bladestormer kill seven enemies when I camped the extraction marker for fun. They piled up in front of her, ending with a muton sitting on his arse on top of six dead advent soldiers.
My new plan is to field one officer specialist and the seven samurai for a troop column.
