    I think no matter the experience level, it's always great to hear an XCOM veteran's advice. Always helps to have a second opinion.
    Cheers! 👍

    Always take a reaper or a ranger with conceal on a mission for scouting and, get squad size upgrade. If you are lucky you may get the resistance order that freezes the mission timer until revealed, if you are fortunate enough to get it, use it

    Tip for the supply missions with the crates, set your guys up on them but don't push the button to claim them until the soldier NEEDS to move up because you want as many safe crates as possible to be in the random roll of which crates are marked for extract by the enemy. This means you will likely be sat right next to a crate that gets marked so you don't have to dash up the map and trigger more aggro.

    "There are aim penalties to overwatch."
    oh... OHHHHH it's all starting to make sense because i use overwatch all of the the time lmfao

    • @AngellusStar
      @AngellusStar ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The OW penalty doesn't apply to shots taken during an ambush so he was mistaken about that. Of course you can still miss your shots unless they are 100% as I often do. That's why I usually don't put everyone on OW during an ambush; usually save 1 or 2 soldiers actions for afterwards.

    • @sillymesilly

      Other commenter has mentioned that there no penalty for aim on OW.

    • @AngellusStar
      @AngellusStar ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ​​​@@sillymesillythat's not actually what I said. I said there are no aim penalties for OW shots when they are taken as part of an ambush. In non-ambush situations OW penalties do apply. Not sure of the exact number penalty though; it's somewhere between -15 to -20 to the soldiers' aim.

    Ignoring the crates on supply missions and hunting Advent sounds like how I play terror missions on EW. If there happens to be a civilian where i can grab them I will. Otherwise I focus on killing aliens to end the mission.

    I love playing on legend. But I refuse Ironman in any game without godtier stability and lack of bugs.
    Too many runs I needed to load back because of a gamebreaking bug, a crash that made me auto fail a very winnable mission or just a genuine mis input cause i have a cat.
    I only save scum when it's one of those reasons but it's reason enough never to touch ironman. Otherwise amazing guide

    • @theultimateturkey
      @theultimateturkey 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      It is, but if you know how the enemies work and how to get the game to play in your favour, with stuff like mimic beacons and special ammo it’s easier than you think. Also don’t use half cover unless your trying to draw shots away from someone else, in harder difficulties enemies hit so much more, half cover is basically a death sentence. Utilise every advantage you can, and you can do it! Takes a lot of practice though, took me several legend Ironman runs to get it down, now I can win them back to back, currently doing a legend Ironman grim horizon run, it’s brutal! You will loose quite a few soldiers, don’t quit if you squad wipe, keep going. Makes a much more rewarding victory when it’s not easy sailing and been a tough slog to the end. Good luck commander!
      Also don’t forget running away and evacuating out is an option for unsalvageable missions, there is no shame in living to fight another day

    There are no aim penalties for OW when it is triggered as part of an ambush. You should get in habit of reading the tool tips on skyranger when it is in transit to and from a mission. Though of course in non-ambush situations there is always a penalty the ambush tactic would be almost pointless if there was a penalty for OW ambush shots. I agree with everything else you said although I'm no beginner so it was all already common sense to me.
