XCOM 2 HOW TO CAPTURE WINDOWS
Areas with windows and doors are good - she’ll be forced to open a door or break a window to get close. Move to areas with “chokepoints” so you can track her movements. That means they will not trigger overwatch - at all. Unfortunately, Assassins often have the ShadowStep ability. She will always retreat after striking, so you’ll have one turn before she returns - the Assassin will re-enter concealment from her hiding spot, then prepare for another attack.
If she can’t retreat behind a tall wall, she’ll be left exposed. The further you are from hiding spots, the better. Instead, move to the center of an area - preferably a place with very little tall cover and wait for the Assassin to reveal herself with an attack. Reviving a dazed soldier will leave them disoriented for one turn.īecause the Assassin uses a melee weapon, cover is pointless in an Assassin engagement.
Use an action to revive dazed soldiers from an adjacent square. NOTE: While dazed, soldiers can be captured. Remove Concealment by getting close or dropping a grenade on their location. The Assassin appears on the map in Concealment, and can re-enter concealment with their Vanishing ability. She prefers to toy with her prey, and her melee attack will always instantly put your units into a dazed state.Īfter attacking, the Assassin will inevitably retreat and hide. The Assassin is a stealth-based Chosen boss that strikes from the shadows and retreats to cover.
