__TOC__
  
−
Your reaction score at a given moment is thus your stat multiplied by the percentage of your TU's remaining (TU current / TU Max ) at that point in the turn. As you spend TU's (moving or firing) your reaction score goes down.
+
== Overview ==
  
−
A rookie camping in one location and not spending TUs will usually have higher reactions than a trained officer who has just finished sprinting through the bush.
+
'''Reaction Fire''' or '''Opportunity Fire''' is the ability for a unit that is not currently taking its turn to override the other side and make an attack against it. Thus the name opportunity fire.
  
−
How is it used? There are two inherently identical uses. During your turn, and at the end of your turn.
+
== Reaction Level ==
  
−
During your turn, when your soldiers are given orders, each unit's current reaction score is directly compared with the current reaction score of any alien within visibile range (20 tiles or so, I think). The alien must actually be able to see the unit - i.e. is not looking the other way and has no obstructions.  
+
A unit's reactions are a measure of the unit's ability to react, but this is only a part of a whole.  
  
−
Given these conditions, the game constantly checks the unit's reaction score against the alien's. The one with the largest reaction score can keep making moves uninterrupted. But the moment the other unit has the higher score, that unit will be able to get an 'opportunity' move. Hence we have reaction fire.
+
'''Current Reaction Score = ([[Reactions]] Stat) × (Current [[Time Units]] / Max TUs) '''
  
−
At the end of your turn, your positions are reversed. Now, the aliens get to move, and if their reaction scores are below yours, you get a reaction shot - if you are able to. (Note, during the alien's turn, they are allowed to use auto-shots, as it is their turn. Reaction shots are performed with snap-shots.)
+
Your unit's actual reaction score, also known as ''initiative'', is the reaction stat multiplied by the percentage of remaining TUs. Here Max TUs refers to the maximum number of TUs that can be regenerated each turn.  
  
 +
As you spend time units on any actions, initiative weakens by a percentage of how many time units were spent for that action against the maximum possible time units.
  
−
Now, a working example:
+
If for example you have 32 of 64 Time Units and 50 Reactions, you are therefore only able to use 50% of your reaction level, or 25 out of the 50.
  
−
''Werner Okamoto has a modest reaction level of 30. He has 60 time units in total. He is armed with a [[Laser Rifle]], which can fire snapshots at 25% of his time units per shot (or 15 TUs a shot). He ends his turn without spending any of his time units.  
+
Let's say one step is taken, costing 4 TUs.  
  
−
''Generic Nasty Alien Shaped Thing has a massive reaction score of 70, and 50 time units. For fun, it's carrying a [[Heavy Plasma]]! It fires snapshots at 30% TUs per shot, or 15 time units. It is exhausted and only has 50% of its TUs left (25/50). He is staring right at Werner.  
+
(32 - 4) / 64 = 0.375.  
  
−
''The turn is ended. The aliens now get to choose what to do. Naturally, since the alien can see the soldier, it will attempt to attack.  
+
50 * 0.375 = 18.75.  
  
−
Move 1:
+
Rounded down to the nearest integer, you will now only have 18 of 50 reaction to defend against reaction fire.  
−
Werner = 30 * 60/60 = 30 * 1 = 30
 
−
GNAST = 70 * 25/50 = 70 * 0.5 = 35 
 
  
−
''The alien takes a shot.  
+
From this we can see that a soldier who decides to end the turn without spending any time units will often have a much higher chance to react than one that has little to no time units remaining.  
  
−
Move 2:
+
This also show units with low reactions have a fighting chance at competing against an enemy with vastly superior reactions skills.
−
Werner = 30
 
−
GNAST = 70 * 5/50 = 70 * 0.1 = 7
 
  
−
''Not only does the alien not have any time units left for the shot, it fails its reaction score. Instead, Werner takes a shot.
+
== When and how is it used? ==
  
−
Move 3:  
+
You can think of reactions as having two inherently identical but different roles: defensive and offensive.  
−
Werner = 30 * 45 / 60 = 30 * 0.75 = 22  (Werner shoots again)
 
−
GNAST = 7
 
  
−
Move 4:
+
Defensive use of reactions occurs during your turn to protect you against reaction fire.  
−
Werner = 30 * 30 / 60 = 30 * 0.5 = 15 (Ditto)
 
−
GNAST = 7
 
  
−
Move 5:
+
Offensive reactions is the exact opposite, it occurs when you are not taking your turn to perform attacks of opportunities against enemy targets that have a lower initiative.  
−
Werner = 30 * 15 / 60 = 30 * 0.25 = 7
 
−
GNAST = 7 
 
  
−
''Now, although equal, Werner can still make the shot, but the alien cannot. As this move exhausts Werner's TUs to 0 / 60, the exchange of shots ends right here. ''
+
Visualise every unit on the field as having a place in an action queue based on their initiative level. All units currently making the turn will slowly drop their position in the queue as they spend their time units performing actions.  
  
−
Health and [[Critical Wounds]] will also affect reactions.
+
The side making the move can move any unit at any point in the queue as they please.  
  
−
Hint - using the [[Mind Probe]], you can determine if an alien is in fact out of TU's, and thus unable to react to your attempts to shoot, stun, or capture it - if you can complete the action this turn.
+
As soon as any unit on the waiting side jumps up in the queue above any unit on the moving side it will counter with a reaction shot as long as it meets all the conditions to perform the shot. This action costs time units, therefore instantly dropping the reacting unit's place in the queue.

During your turn, when your soldiers are given orders that can [[Reaction fire triggers|trigger reaction fire]], the unit's current reaction score is directly compared against the current reaction level of any alien that can see the unit.

The same applies if it doesn't have enough time units to perform an attack.

As long as your initiative is higher, you will be able to make any move you wish. The moment the enemy has a higher score, it will be able to interrupt you with an ''attack of opportunity'' - or reaction shot - if it has enough remaining time units to shoot.

For the sake of this example, our hero and antagonist will be called Werner Okamoto and Generic Nasty Alien Shaped Thing (GNAST). Both units will have the following stats at the end of the player's turn.

 +
: Reactions: '''70'''
 +
: Weapon: '''[[Heavy Plasma]]''' (snapshots cost 20 TUs)
 +

This example uses the assumption that the AI will only use snap shots in this exchange, and that both units are unable to kill each other.

Overview

Reaction Fire or Opportunity Fire is the ability for a unit that is not currently taking its turn to override the other side and make an attack against it. Thus the name opportunity fire.

Reaction Level

A unit's reactions are a measure of the unit's ability to react, but this is only a part of a whole. 

Current Reaction Score = (Reactions Stat) × (Current Time Units / Max TUs)

Your unit's actual reaction score, also known as initiative, is the reaction stat multiplied by the percentage of remaining TUs. Here Max TUs refers to the maximum number of TUs that can be regenerated each turn.

As you spend time units on any actions, initiative weakens by a percentage of how many time units were spent for that action against the maximum possible time units.

If for example you have 32 of 64 Time Units and 50 Reactions, you are therefore only able to use 50% of your reaction level, or 25 out of the 50.

Let's say one step is taken, costing 4 TUs.

(32 - 4) / 64 = 0.375.

50 * 0.375 = 18.75.

Rounded down to the nearest integer, you will now only have 18 of 50 reaction to defend against reaction fire.

From this we can see that a soldier who decides to end the turn without spending any time units will often have a much higher chance to react than one that has little to no time units remaining.

This also show units with low reactions have a fighting chance at competing against an enemy with vastly superior reactions skills.

When and how is it used?

You can think of reactions as having two inherently identical but different roles: defensive and offensive.

Defensive use of reactions occurs during your turn to protect you against reaction fire.

Offensive reactions is the exact opposite, it occurs when you are not taking your turn to perform attacks of opportunities against enemy targets that have a lower initiative.

Visualise every unit on the field as having a place in an action queue based on their initiative level. All units currently making the turn will slowly drop their position in the queue as they spend their time units performing actions.

The side making the move can move any unit at any point in the queue as they please.

As soon as any unit on the waiting side jumps up in the queue above any unit on the moving side it will counter with a reaction shot as long as it meets all the conditions to perform the shot. This action costs time units, therefore instantly dropping the reacting unit's place in the queue.

This whole process keeps going until the end of the turn, and is repeated with the sides swapped. The process starts over again at the start of the next turn.

Using Reactions Defensively

TipBox Alert.png Tip: Use the Mind Probe to determine if an alien is in fact out of Time Units. This can give you a good indication of whether or not the alien will be able to react should you need to shoot, capture or approach the alien to strike it with the stun rod.


The side making the current move will use their initiative levels to defend against the waiting side.

During your turn, when your soldiers are given orders that can trigger reaction fire, the unit's current reaction score is directly compared against the current reaction level of any alien that can see the unit. Naturally, if the enemy is looking the other way or there are obstructions, it will not be able to react even if it has the greater reaction level. The same applies if it doesn't have enough time units to perform an attack.

As long as your initiative is higher, you will be able to make any move you wish. The moment the enemy has a higher score, it will be able to interrupt you with an attack of opportunity - or reaction shot - if it has enough remaining time units to shoot.

In this sense, you are using your reactions to defend against enemy opportunity fire.


Using Reactions Offensively

At the end of your turn, your roles are reversed. Your units will now wait and open fire on any enemy units that are within their line of vision that have failed their initiative.

The waiting side is always on what's known as Overwatch mode, where they will attack the moving side as long as they meet several necessary conditions. This being that the moving side performs an action that brings its unit into visual range of a waiting unit. Also it must perform an act that can trigger reaction fire and the defender must have sufficient time units to perform an attack.

Player controlled units will only react with snap shots.

Working Examples

Example 1

This short example will follow two opposing units that have spotted each other. This whole exchange plays out over the alien's move.

For the sake of this example, our hero and antagonist will be called Werner Okamoto and Generic Nasty Alien Shaped Thing (GNAST). Both units will have the following stats at the end of the player's turn.

Werner Okamoto

Time Units: 60/60
Reactions: 30
Weapon: Laser Rifle (Snapshots cost 15 TUs)


GNAST

Time Units: 25/50
Reactions: 70

Example 2

Example 2 sees Werner facing a new tougher alien GNAST2, with a pistol. In this example we assume were are on the very first turn of the mission. Werner took exactly 1 step out of the Skyranger onto the ramp, and comes face to face with the enemy, who is at 100% of its time units. Werner decides to end the turn facing it.

Here are the stats of the two combatants:

Werner Okamoto

Time Units: 56/60
Reactions: 30
Weapon: Pistol (Snapshots cost 10 TUs)


GNAST2

Time Units: 80/80
Reactions: 75
Weapon: Heavy Plasma (snapshots cost 24 TUs)

Example 3

Example 3 has our hero facing GNAST3, a veritable clone of himself. Werner has an Autocannon this time. Through a series of convoluted explanations involving mind control, both sides wind up facing each other with 100% of their TUs in this example.


Werner Okamoto

Time Units: 60/60
Reactions: 30
Weapon: Auto-Cannon (Snapshots cost 19 TUs)


GNAST3

Time Units: 60/60

* Once again, though equal, it is still the alien's turn.

# In this case, the alien has the higher initiative but doesn't have enough TUs to perform an attacking action.
