X-COM/XSDF RP THINK TANK (part3)

[DarkGemini24601]

And so my Impossible XCOM run begins. Not ironman, because glitches and LoS bullshit galore, but hopefully honestman/bronzeman. My starting soldiers are:

Willow Ryan (Assault)
Frederick Mason (Support)
Sasha Dragomirov
Grazia Di Mercurio
Elicia Ensslin
Penny Anderson
Korra Devolina
Noire
Lawrence LaForge
Anna Stone (Injured 6 days, Sniper)

And two unnamed male soldiers. Marine, pick one of your characters for one of those slots, and the other one can be named after whoever asks me first so you can hear of how your beloved characters die.

Had to recustomize, so Elicia becomes Ayame since Pixy already has Lawrence.

Oh, I love the heavy rain map where the aliens are already activated. That already cost Noire 75% of her health.

That map on long war is the devil incarnate. Had the entire enemy force already activated when I stepped off, and that was about half heavy mutons and half heavy floaters. This against gauss weaponry and carapace armor.

Ayame will come in when I recruit more people. I'm going to... try to use several teams, but I'm afraid of falling behind to some extent.

So far, Penny's missed a ton of shots (Go figure) while Grazia has THREE kills.

Mfw you pick the daughter of a contract assassin over the contract assassin himself and expect her to hit shots.

Well, the only other option would be genderbent Isaac.

Well this is already going beautifully. Killed two sectoids with grenade + pistol (Well done Grazia/Willow and thanks to Noire for the grenade). Noire got two indirect kills since the third sectoid mind-merged one of the other sectoids I triggered... standing next to a burning car. If Noire isn't a heavy after this I'll be dissapointed.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Noire took 75% hp again (poor Noire) but Penny blew up a sectoid and his merged buddy. Everyone's got a kill now.

 

[ZombieSplitter53]

RIP Noire you were like 5th best girl.

Spoiler: Wait whoops wrong Noire

Heheh... esoteric. But I got it.

Oh dear god no

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Grazia is a heavy, Penny and Noire are assaults (Why do I have three assaults?!). So far I've won both of my missions by doing roof cheese strategies.

Roof... cheese?

 

[BMPixy]

Roof... cheese?

XCOM in LW is like a cat. They like to hide on tall objects to feel safe from those below them. And then they get attacked by bir- I mean, Floaters.

I'm doing Vanilla. Why the heck would I do Impossible on LW? Do I look like Beaglerush to you?

 

[ZombieSplitter53]

Um... I still don't know what roof cheese means.

Well, if you recolor that helmet blue and slap a beard on Vee...

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Um... I still don't know what roof cheese means.

It means I go up onto the roof, and drop down to a single tile below so overwatch doesn't trigger, and kill aliens. Or fire from atop the roof. The aliens almost always refuse to go ontop of roofs, so I can stand in the open and then do my run to the ledge/dropdown with impunity.

Penny, Willow, Frederick, and Ayame going out on a council mission. Wish me luck.

Good luck.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Good luck.

Eh, I'm done for today. The stupid "Thin Men drop out of LoS and then know exactly where you move so they can kill you without taking reaction fire" is just unfair. There's literally no way for me to kill them without losing people, and I don't define that as 'fun'.

 

[Frostlich1228]

You could add James or Dorian to the roster.

You should stream on twitch

 

[DarkGemini24601]

You should stream on twitch

Don't have the capability to right now, and it would just be me raging at glitches and LoS. I doubt any of you want to watch me reload a ton to try and make the game play nice.
