ADVENT Trooper (LWOTC)

Back To Main Page Back To Units Page

The ADVENT Trooper serves as the baseline of ADVENT forces. Unremarkable in every way, the trooper is distinguishable by their lack of training or features that elevate the rest of the ADVENT forces.

Initially ADVENT troopers are as threatening as the XCOM rookies they are thrown up against, not very. As the campaign progresses and ADVENT's Force Level rises, the basic Troopers will be phased out, and Advanced and Elite Troopers will appear, possessing better equipment, training, and perhaps most notably, fragmentation grenades.

Tips

• Troopers are the lowest level of enemy units ADVENT can deploy, having generally lower aim and damage than their allies, so they should be a low priority target
• Like most flankable units, they will ideally try to find reasonable cover whenever flanked. This can be taken advantage of if you want to force enemies to move.
• Like most units with AOE moves, you ideally want to spread your soldiers out in order to greatly dissuade them from ever using them.
