Tips

• The most threatening ability of the Hunter is Tracking Shot which allows them to mark and take a free guaranteed shot against a flanked soldier. The key is to make sure you do not become flanked at the start of their turn to grant them a target to mark.
• Similar to our own Sharpshooters, the Hunter has Squadsight which can extend their vision range to targets within their allies' sight. it is best to make sure there is no line of sight that will have your soldier's flank against the Hunter granting them a target to mark.
• The Hunter is the most evasive of the chosen having many defensive abilities to make them a slippery target. It is ideal to have ways to make them easier targets such as Holotarget or to engage in close range. Be careful of engaging in close range as they have abilities that can make it more difficult while possibly exposing yourself.
• The Hunter's mobility for their Prime Reaction starts out as 10 and they gain 2 mobility per reaction gained until their next turn. Make sure your soldiers are in position to be able to take effective actions while also making sure you do not expose yourself as a result of their retreat.
