Your Favorite Custom Class?
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2017 1:51 pm
In my last veteran campaign i mainly stuck with the default classes,but in my new commander run i decided to mix things up a little.
According to the workshop, the most popular class seemed to be the 'jedi' class, but the class is way too op(If u 'give in to the dark side' as they say) according to the description and comments.
I saw Derava have a pretty good time with the alien hunter class; however i personally had a pretty mundane experience. Bolt caster is imo the most useless item in xcom 2(next to chameleon suit), and the class almost solely depends on it. If u try to go melee, shinobi does a better job at that(no combative/cut throat/coup de grace).
Then i tried to go with the vanguard class,and oh my god, it is pretty much every thing i wished for. I felt LW2 made pistols almost utterly useless(too much investment,too little reward); this class does a real good job at fixing that. It has an entire tree dedicated to pistols, and combined to the awc perks,i am sure i will be able to kill m3 mechs on turn 1,with fanfire only(still in Spetember)...
P.S. The class has another tree that can make you a juggernaut with tonnes of armor and health,by sacrificing mobility. The last skill actually lets you regenerate 1 health per turn,a great asset for the final mission...
P.S.2. By default the class can only use cannons and shotguns, i changed the ini so he can now carry smgs. So, more mobility=more flanking=more crits=more dead aliens...
I heard good things about the spec ops class as well, but the whole meleeing without breaking concealment+shadowstrike combo; and entering concealment automatically whenever u spend a turn without seeing any enemies are some skills that just are just asking to be abused.
So, what is your favorite custom class? My next run will most likely be a legend one, and i would appreciate suggestions of any class that brings some unique play style and room for experiment; without breaking the game. If you personally had a good time of the class, most likely i would be doing the same.
TIA
