Changelog (updated June 16 2018)
A list of the changes made to the mod since it was published. (Steam's formatting for version history is pretty ugly to be honest...)

June 16 2018
An important one! Several abilities have been adjusted/added and a GTS ability has been added.

Resurrect
  • HP regain reduced from 100% HP to +8 HP.
Resurrect’s percentage-based healing meant that it scaled really well with relatively little cost after the initial unlock. With this change it still remains an early-game lifesaver but requires a larger investment from the player to unlock its full potential.

Anesthetic
  • Shields increased from 4 to 5.
This increase matches the amount given by elite shieldbearers and should allow Anesthetic’s damage-mitigating capability to stay relevant for a bit longer after it’s unlocked.

Self-Treatment
  • Added immunity to fire, poison, and acid.
Self-Treatment, like the passive from Overwatch that inspired it, is meant to reduce the need for valkyries to manually heal themselves. It felt underwhelming as a pure health regen, so environmental immunity should further reduce the need for self-healing.

I’m With You
  • Bleedout chance is now guaranteed.
  • Extra Resurrect charge has been removed.
I’m With You’s effects are now much more consistent, but in return it no longer doubles as a direct upgrade to Resurrect.

Incision
  • Crit chance bonus increased from +25% to +33%.
  • Armor piercing bonus increased from +2 to +4.
Incision is meant to help XCOM take down the heavily armored opponents of the late game, but in many cases Damage Buff could still match or beat Incision’s effects through sheer numbers. These changes should allow Incision to outperform Damage Buff where intended as well as reward the player’s risk-taking more consistently.

Heroes Never Die
  • New Colonel ability, replacing Sustain.
  • Allows Resurrect to restore 100% HP and gives it an extra charge.
  • Requires Resurrect to be unlocked.
While the player must now wait longer and pay a higher price for the traditional version of Resurrect, the improved reliability of I’m With You means the ability is ultimately stronger than before should the player choose to focus on it.

Sustaining Suit
  • New GTS ability, costing 100 supplies and 2 ADVENT Priest corpses.
  • Identical to the Sustain ability seen in the base game.
Sustain, like most perks in the GTS, is a useful ability to have regardless of how the player has specced their valkyrie. For balance (and lore) purposes it requires a more unique payment to unlock.

May 31 2018
  • Made some minor changes to ability descriptions.

May 28 2018
  • Fixed a bug where the bullpup wouldn't appear if the player hasn't met the Skirmishers yet.
  • Added workshop tags to the mod.
  • Deleted unnecessary default files.
