Effects of Attributes

Aim

Determines a unit's ability to successfully land a hit on another unit. Hit chance is calculated as aim - defense + modifiers.

Mobility

Base soldiers start with an average of 15.3 tiles mobility.

Determines how many tiles a unit can move with 1 AP. Each point of mobility = 1 tile of movement. Units with 2 AP can dash (+20% movement) to move 240% of their mobility in tiles.

There is a cap on total movement in a single move of 39 tiles. This means someone with 20 or more mobility can move further with 2 single moves than a dash.

Hit Points

Increases the total HP units have on tactical mission. When HP reaches 0 the soldier may die or begin to Bleed Out. Can be further augmented with small items and armor (which grants Armor HP though, not more base HP).

Base HP can affect the attributes of MECs produced through augmentation.

Certain abilities are affected by how a soldier's base HP differs from the average values. The averages are:

• 6 HP for soldiers
• 10 HP for MECs

Base HP modifies throw range, rocket scatter, injury times, and bleed out chance:

• For each HP above/below average, throw range is increased/reduced by 4% [Biosoldiers only]
• For each HP above/below average, injury time is reduced/increased by 4%
• For each HP above/below average, scatter is reduced/increased by 8% [Biosoldiers only]

• The chance a soldier will bleed out instead of die is 10*(Base HP - Overkill Damage)% and cannot exceed 90%

Will

Increases the success rate and time taken to train psionically thereby increasing a psionic soldier's Psi Rank and unlocking new psionic skills.

Grants resistance to panic.

Base will also modifies fatigue times:

• For each will above/below average (30), fatigue times are reduced/increased by 0.5%

Soldier Attributes

Soldiers have randomized starting attributes. However, the starting 15 soldiers will have preset, non-random attributes. Note that multiple Second Wave options exist that can change this. Balanced Soldiers (#31) will enable a point system for randomly-generated soldiers, and Fresh Recruits (#33) will replaces the starting 15 soldiers with randomly-generated ones.

	range	range	range	range
Base Attributes	4 - 8	60 - 70	20 - 55	14.6 - 16.0

All stats are determined with the mid stats being more common than the extremes. Additionally, aim has the mid stats even more common and will has the low stats more common.

Soldiers all have a Defense attribute of 0.

Attribute growth for soldier ranks occurs from post mission attribute gains. Each soldier has a chance to gain some bonus attributes at the end of each mission they participated in. Certain classes increase these chances to double or triple the normal progression.

MSGTs gain 100% more growth vs lower ranked soldiers.

Class	growth	growth	growth	growth
Sniper	x1	x3	x1	x1
Scout	x1	x2	x1	x2
Infantry	x1	x2	x2	x1
Assault	x1	x1	x1	x3
Gunner	x2	x2	x1	x1
Rocketeer	x2	x1	x2	x1
Medic	x1	x1	x2	x2
Engineer	x2	x1	x1	x2

MEC Attributes

Unlike soldiers, MECs gain no will from level ups. Augmenting (chopping) requires a soldier to be at least the rank of LCPL. It then resets their experience to 0 and their rank to SPEC.

Base Attributes	10	65	30	18.0

When being augmented their stats are reset to 10 HP, 65 aim, 18.0 mobility and 30 will along with possible bonus stats based on their base HP and rank before conversion. For more information see: MEC Augmentation

Class	growth	growth		growth
Jaeger	x1	x2	x1	x2
Marauder	x2	x1	x1	x2
Goliath	x3	x1	x1	x1
Shogun	x2	x2	x1	x1

New Recruits

Non-preset soldiers acquired later in the campaign gain a random amount of the following attributes for each month passed: +0.16 mob, +0.5 HP, +1 aim, +2 will. There is no cap on this growth, and it is chosen through double-randomization of those values (so the average will be 25% of each attribute).
