Codex = broken? Even when stunned it can teleport and disarm you

[skyhrg]

So I stunned a codex and it said "stun 2." So I put my guys next to it to kill it. Very next turn it gets up like nothing happened, teleports and disarms everyone....

wth???

I think that this is it's ability. It also doesn't trigger reaction shots.

Yeah... I think it's really cheap... teleport flank, crit kill, stun doesn't apply, overwatch doesn't apply...

I don't think it's skill-related challenging, or even fun... It just feels plain cheap.

I really hope someone makes a mod that makes teleport overwatch susceptible, or stun susceptible, etc.

Try using a flashbang ^^. Disables their ability to clone, aoe disarm and teleport. Very handy to use xD

Saw a codex for first time, flashed banged it and killed it like it was nothing.

Oh what the... lol

Really?!? NEVER thought of using flashbang for ANYTHING haha. I feel like a lot of the items are superfluous.

You mean it disables it forever or for that turn only?

It disables them for two turns with a flashbang ^^. Very effective item vs them and also against sectoids as the flashbang hinders them as well to use mind control etc. Funny thing too: if raised a psi-zombie, a flashbang on the sectoid will sever the link xD

Awesome... good to know :)

The thing is while enemies are powerful there are always counters. The game is hard and it takes effort and trial to figure it out. Sometimes things go badly, that is X-Com. Simples
