Description
Changes Torque's 'Vicious Bite' ability to be a free action.

When I was playing I found that I only ever used her ultimate ability once, purely just to see it. This is because there's literally no gameplay reason to ever use it. It does the same damage, 5, as her upgraded bind but costs an action, only has a 77% chance to hit, has 3 turn cooldown, and doesn't disable. As a free action, it's actually a good ability; you don't have to choose between binding and biting.

Default damage (5) and Cooldown (3) remain the same. If it feels too powerful, you can edit default ability damages and cooldowns in '...\Documents\My Games\XCOM Chimera Squad\XComGame\ConfigXComGameData_SoldierSkills.ini

Bruh, thank you for making this mod. I had the same amount of use before and it seemed like the move would have been a perfect thing to combo with pull and bind if it wasn't for the move endign your turn

@jazmatician one of the reasons I switched around a bunch of abilities of the characters, such as Zephyr's Pressure Point moved to Deputy in exchange for Parry so it's on the same level as Lockdown - making the choice between a defensiv and offensive ability, to ward against damage or to attack those who get close. Some trees are quite wonky in their ability distribution.

does it work mid campaign

wow, this absolutely shouldve been in the base game, thanks for the mod bro, you actually made the skill useful

I used the ability once in my first campaign, just like you. So I will try it out, thanks for that!

I wonder if the balance team ever played this game all the way through. This "ultimate" is weaker than the skill she gets as a cadet. I wonder if they are flipped and "bind" was supposed to be the ultimate or something.

Oof. Okay then I see the reason for this mod.

@JimmyTheCannon Vanilla, it ends your turn

I mean, that depends on your gun, but that's a fair point.

Does Bite end the turn, or can you use it and then also shoot?
