can i get a soldier back when captured?

[Rworqx]

I got my templar mindcontrolled by a priest and had to evac because of overwhelming odds. Its been 2,5 months now and i dont see any covert ops or mission popup to rescue my templar. Howrever, I did get covert ops to recruit a new templar. So i fear the worst. Never had a captive before. They are useally outright dead. Please enlighten me.

Also search function does not respond on my Phone for some reason.

You can but it's not guaranteed to get the captured soldier back anytime soon.

In the future, stasis or bond buddy standing next to them breaks mind control if you're not in a position to kill the controller.

Aha guess i have to keep playing.

Was aware of the bbond system. But the mission was that botched that if i tried to do that my squad was probably wiped.

Now i noticed that the soldier that she was bonded. with don't have a bond anymore. is this intended?

I think flashbangs also immediately cancel the effect of Mind Control if aimed at the caster.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think so. I got a soldier with a bond captured, the bond was still there. I freed her and the bond was, again, still there. Look for covert ops 'Rescue soldier' op. That's how I got mine.

Yes you can get a soldier back. In WotC there are 2 Steps to make:

1. You have to do a secret mission with one of the other Resisantance groups to find the Prison where he / she get hold in.

2. You need a strike Team to get your Soldier back. And that is a invisiblility mission in the way in. Then it´s a normal rescoue mission to get all your Soldiers / the Package out of Danger as fast as possible.

But like all others said before the mission comes after a while.

Given your descriptions of the bond, it sounds like the case of being MCed at the end of the battle counts as a death.

Even if its says Captured at the skyranger return screen?
Also she does not appear on the memorial wall.

If yes: :(

I've recovered a few soldiers in my time playing XCom 2 and I usually find that by the time I rescue them, they have been obsoleted by my other soldier's progress.
