PSA: Revival Protocol works on Daze

[Player]

The tooltip doesnt say it so I thought it was kind of a weak ability but it works on the Chosen's Daze debuff

[Doing gens, you?]

Yeah, it works on nearly every debuff besides Mind Control. I take it on every specialist, it's much better that Haywire Protocol. I can eventually buy that ability on them once mechanized units become more prevalent.

You thought correctly.

but it works on the Chosen's Daze debuff

You should return to your previous thought.

[KRON]

I find it more useful on removing panic or disorientation since daze can be removed by anyone for free.

It was weak in XCOM 2, but in WOTC it's just one of those things that occationaly make life easier and since haywire becomes useless on higher difficulties anyway, it has become a no-brainer pick for legendary.

There is missions with unconcous soldiers that need rescuing, revival solves the problem of having to carry them out and loss 2 soldiers firepower (The revived soldier joins your squad as a fighter when you revive them).

There is way higher chance in WOTC that a soldier gets hit with something that makes it worth using rivaval on them.

It also works on the downed soldier in the rescue the VIP missions. Reviving them instead of carrying them out is an amazing way to get a power boost in the mission and ensure you get the bonus recruit afterwards

[Player]

Wow that VIP mission thing is a pro tip

Holy cow that works?! I can't believe it! Ok, guess haywire isn't an auto-pick for me anymore... dawng

Since when does hacking a Sectopod or a MEC become useless?

[Darkrage_nl]

Because what chance do you have to hack it on legendary? And if you are lucky and get a lot of hacking boosts on a soldier you can just "buy" the skill anyway.

WotC has a lot of things (Covert, Protocol, Resistance Order) that can boost haywire but few of them are reliable

[David]

Hmm, I always take revive since I feel like I always have something better to do than hack (rather blow up sectopod/mec for the scrap then take a chance of hack since that's quite buggy otherwise). Hacks a bit slow for me, by the time you actually get control of the thing (a turn later) everything is dead.

Revival on the other hand, hardly ever used but when you do it's nice, it cures KO, which is good for stunlancers and spectres, esp. lancers since otherwise that's a man down that you have to carry for the rest of the battle. Still, maybe I should've taken haywire *shrug* I can always pick it up later. I never end up using it though so revival just seems better choice for me personally.

Revival is also a blue move, you can revive and then take a yellow action, so that's +1 soldier for free almost if you ever get shadowbound.
