Things you wish you knew, before you tried?

[Rainnd]

mine so far:
- Making a genius psi operative is a waste of genius. Psi operatives can't use points to get skills in training center.
- Flashbangs don't work on warlock.
- The awesomeness of Hunters rifle. Would have killed him first.

The importance of Combat Intel levels. Using Covert Ops for promotions/stats.

Forgetting to check the hips of enemies to see if they have a grenade.

Don't let Inpiration derail your research, but always research breaktrhoughs as you will never see those techs again and they are game changers!

Can't stasis the chosen. Can't freeze grenade the chosen.

On the other hand — lvl 2 bond allows you to break MC (mind control) simply by running next to bondmand.
You can also break MC by stasis'ing the MC target.

Don't do the first with a ally that has bladestorm... It hurts ;)

Don't melee flamethrowe advent.

While you can't stasis the warlock, you CAN stasis his ghost dudes.
And that means that the warlock himself will also remain in stasis if you stasis the last spectral soldier instead of killing it, thus allowing yourself to kill the last soldier first thing next turn and blast into the warlock's smug face with everything you've got.
However, ghost dudes dissappear in 3 turns after being summon (even if in stasis), so you have to be carefull not to overstay your welcome.

You can freeze grenade the chosen. During your time its fully in effect. During their turn they atleast lose an action point.

Is that even possible for a templar to get a psi ability as one of his four randoms?

An assasin had no problem getting two attacks out even after being hit by frost nade.
So I'm not sure what action was "lost".

Is fortress both a regular and psi ability? Or can templars get psi powers as random?
