Psi-Amp

General Information

The Psi-Amp can only be used by soldiers with psionic skill.

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 to be successful with this type of attack.

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 may do the same, but the Cyberdisc is deadly because of its explosive nature.
