Mega Crysalid

[HornyPlatypus]

So what would you guys think about a Mega Crysalid in xcom 2? I mean crysalids are probably the best aliens in xcom and I am afraid they might not make a return. I like them because they provide a interesting challenge. I think a boss crysalid would be very fun to play against. What do you guys think about this idea?

generally speaking; i dont like bulletsponges as a way to increase difficulty. but this could work.
forced tactical withdrawal is in the spirit of the game, so yeamebbi a good idea

FML. I was making this as a joke. Those damn things gave me PTSD and you are telling me they are back??? Time to learn how to mod xcom2 so I can obliterate any trace of them from the game...

You think the new ones are bad? The orginal ones were worse if that is even possable.

I'm somewhat scared of the new Chryssalid...

Also somewhat annoyed. Seems to be a combination of the instakill mechanics of the Chryssalid and the "Spam Overwatch for 50+ turns" mechanic of the Seekers in Enemy Within.

I have not seen the new ones yet. Thats why I thought they were gone.

It wouldn't surprise me if there is a boss chrysallid. The devs are taking a lot of inspiration from Long War after all.

Have you ever heard of the Greater Hive Queen? It's a maxed-out boss chryssalid in Long War that is guaranteed to spawn in an October or November Terror Mission. It's twice the size of a MEC, has more health than a Sectopod and to top it all off has Lightning Reflexes so you can't overwatch it, which it uses to soak up overwatch shots for about 12 regular chryssalids.

Good times.

Crystallids are in XCOM 2, but this is not the right board for XCOM 2 discussion.

Here I'll post the video.

they mention a human civilian that transforms into a giant monster. I recall there being something else... that spawns lots of zombies

The cyberdisky thing: gatekeeper.

Long War Chrysalids are walking DPS checks with no purpose aside from telling you you're run is over because you didn't optimize the correct research on your blind playthrough.

No kidding. Two Rocketeers, bug pod charges in, hit them with a rocket. They're still up. Hit them with a second rocket. They go down. Breath sigh of relief. Next turn four more pods reveal and surround entire team. Alt+Tab, close game, go play something else.

[red255]

I would have probably done Rocket + frag. then shredder rocket + frag. on both heavys to kill 4 pods instead of...

ah well whatever.

[Purplefairy22]
