So... Capturing a Scylla...

[A Mongoose]

Anyone got any tips? All I got are Neurazers and I don't fancy getting close to one. Hiding in buildings also doesn't help.

Synedrion have a paralyzing sniper rifle (Athena) and pistol (Hera). I am make Scylla panicked by shooting from Redeemer and paralyzing with neurazer though.

I know this isn't related to the post, but to capture a Pandoran do you have to make them paralysed but keep them alive or do you make their health bar drop to 0 with non lethal damage?

Keep them paralyzed and alive until mission end. Can be hard to capture injured aliens as they may die to damage from paralyzers.

Just do a citadel attack:
Paralyze the Scylla with the Athena Sniper Rifle, and escape from the map.
Mission will count as victory and Scylla considered as captured (like any other alien paralyzed).

That paralyzing-sniper-rifle is a real game-changer, especially, if you have at least two leveled-up sniper/assaults with the Dash and Rapid-Shot abilities.

I got lucky, recovered a Synedrion Aspera vehicle, and then the base I sent it to was attacked by Pandorans shortly after and they had a Scylla with them.

I just parked the Aspera in the entrance to the vehicle bay and let the Scylla come to it. At something like 40 Paralysis per hit, the Aspera only took a couple turns to stun it. Then I just occasionally shocked it again to keep it down while the rest of the Pandorans just funnelled themselves into the entrance and got shredded by gunfire.
