ADVENT Stun Lancer (XCOM2)

A specialist ADVENT soldier wielding an electrically-charged baton/sword. Their greatest threat is their fearlessness in performing dashing attacks with this blade: if it gets within range, expect it to rush you within the next turn, even foregoing cover and gun to stab at thee. If hit, this weapon is capable of crits, disorientation, and even knocking your soldiers unconscious in a single blow. Flashbangs are helpful in restricting their movement. Otherwise, your best bet is to take out it's cover and soften it with a grenade, then hope to finish it off with a crit of your own.
