How To Use
During combat, click on the Psi-Amp, select the type of attack, and select a target unit with the cursor.
There are two types of psionic attack:
- PANIC UNIT
- If the attack is successful it will reduce the target's morale and may cause it to panic.
- MIND CONTROL
- If this is successful then you will gain immediate control of the enemy unit as if it was one of your own (except that you cannot directly access the object screen). It is more difficult control an alien than to panic it, but soldiers with high Psi Skill (say 60 or more) and Strength can capture many additional "soldiers" during a mission. See Psionics for the specific formulas.
Note: if you mind control a large unit, such as a Cyberdisc, be sure to get all four quarters of the unit under control. If not, once moved, the Cyberdisc may shoot the 'Alien' quarters of itself because of its high reaction stat. Other large aliens (such as the Sectopod) do the same, but the Cyberdisc is deadly because of its explosive nature.
