Confess if you sent a templar to rend a muton...

[learnedhand]

and forgot its basically a death sentence. SMH, I've done it twice now.

[That Drunk Fellow]

Yep done it once, nearly killed my templar.. Don't drink and play xcom at the same time is what I learned from that.

[Tiasmoon]

Done it once during a Reaper. I was a bit disappointed the AI failed and the Muton didnt try to execute the now stunned Templar.

[Algol]

Well I sorta savescummed... But only sorta, because I was going to shoot the muton anyway and intentionally tried rend to see if the counterattack works.

[Nasarog]

Once. It only took one time to teach me THAT lesson.

[Robert]

I have done this several times, but have always killed the Muton
Must have caught the RNG on a good day ;)

I did it once after coming back to Xcom 2 for WotC after many many month of not playing and then I remembered instantly why you never melee a muton.

That's why the rest of my squad are healers. You only live twice.

I've really only killed Mutons from range, so I wasn't even aware they had the ability to counter attack. I would have easily made the mistake of sending in a Templar, had I not watched a YouTuber (Christopher Odd) do this before hand. His Templar quickly got knocked on his ass. I learned from his mistake and made sure never to do what he did

Not sure if the Elite Mutons have a similiar skill or not, they've always seemed too scary to run a soldier in for a melee attack. I've just always made sure to keep as much distance away from them as possible. Those things are like the Hulk running at you

I HAVE however made the mistake to run in on a Viper (early game). I figured I'd just Parry, and it would move to a square to flank and shoot the next turn. Instead, it wrapped it self around the Templar without even needing to use the tongue attack. No biggy really, easy enough to deal with. Too bad the truck next to them exploded at the end of the aliens turn, killing both the Viper and the Templar, also ending the mission because it was the last alien on the map. I was pretty dumbfounded by that one...

Hi my name is [insert name] and I've sent my templar against mutons.

In my defense, it worked five straight times before the last one decided enough was enough.

I did it a few times on purpose. If your templar has 100% dodge and bladestorm you only take 2-3 dmg and then counterattack with bladestorm for ~10. And I think mutons only have a chance to counterattack cause they don't always seem to do it.

100% dodge? How did you manage to do that?

Nope sorry. I guess I already learned my lesson earlier in my Xcom career. :D
