Abilities
Rank | Ability | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Specialist |
Collateral Damage
Use a full ammo clip to destroy some cover and deal 15% weapon damage per ammo in a 5 tile radius. Costs 1 AP. 3 turn cooldown. Grants Lock N' Load. | ||||||
Lance Corporal |
Absorption Fields
Advanced shielding grants +30% DR. Shots from beam weapons (laser/pulse/drone/cyberdisc) lose half of their penetration when targeting this unit. |
Hit and Run
The first non-reaction shot taken at a target that was damaged, suppressed, or disoriented this turn deals +2/2/4/4/6 crit damage (based on active weapon tier) and will leave this unit with 1 AP, but prevents the use of non-mobility actions until this unit reaches 0 AP. Grants +0.6 mobility. |
Grenadier
Using a destructive grenade deals +1 damage and costs only 1 AP. Equipped destructive grenades receive an additional use. Grants 1.3 mobility. | ||||
Corporal |
Fortified
Grants immunity to critical hits. Injury and fatigue times are reduced by 30%. Steadfast
Provides immunity to panic (except from flame/psi attacks) and reduces injury time by 50%. |
Vital Point Targeting
Steadied shots, reaction shots, or shots at targets not protected by cover deal 30% more damage when hitting humans or autopsied biological aliens. |
HEAT Warheads
Explosives gain +6 penetration and double the application of any shred. | ||||
Sergeant |
Sapper
Explosives deal +1 damage and double environmental damage. Grants +30% throw range. |
Jetboot Module
When activated, grants +4.0 mobility and the ability to jump to normally inaccessible heights for the rest of the turn. 3 turn cooldown. Does not break hidden abilities (Cloaking, Shadow, Concealment, Stealth, or Ghosting). |
Bullseye
Grants +25 aim and crit if shooting at 2AP or against a target on overwatch (double if both). | ||||
Tech Sergeant |
Packmaster
Equipped medikits, grenades, and mists receive an additional use. Grants +1 ammo to non-arc primary weapons. Grants +1 HP to healing from Restorative Mists. | ||||||
Gunnery Sergeant |
Grants +1 damage and penetration to all shots. Hitting a target with a non-reaction shot clears their overwatch and disables their Reactive Targeting Sensors.
|
Grit
Grants +3 armor HP and %DR equal to half of the %HP lost. |
Extra Conditioning
Grants +3 armor HP, +0.6 mobility, 10% throw range, and a 10% chance for all end-in-idle actions to cost 0 AP. | ||||
Master Sergeant |
Snapshot

Tactical Advice
Intended Role: Mid-range Offensive/Defensive Support
Fitting its name, the Shogun ("Warlord") is - like the Engineer - a specialist in battlefield control, destroying enemy cover using Collateral Damage and Sapper. Whilst it doesn't have the raw range of the Jaeger, the Shogun can also act as a highly effective antimech platform using HEAT Warheads and Critical System Targeting to put the hurt on Mechtoids, Cyberdiscs, and other mechanical foes. Grenadier increases the number of grenade uses, allowing for sustained bombardment throughout longer missions. Like the Medic, the Shogun can provide healing throughout a mission using Restorative Mist with First Aid.
Unlike the Jaeger, the Shogun is a little more durable when it comes to defenses - but care should also be taken to protect it from enemy units that may also gain anti-mech abilities; unfortunately, most of these enemies are also the kind that the Shogun excels in destroying. Consider using a more 'vulnerable' and expendable SHIV to act as a close-range decoy.
Sample Builds
Grenadier Shogun
To Be Updated
Sample Grenadier Build: Grenadier -> HEAT Warheads -> Sapper -> Packmaster -> Extra Conditioning -> Fragmentation
Recommended Equipment: Grenade Launcher, MINE Launcher, Restorative Mist, Core Plating, Ammo Module, HMEC Exosuit
Note
- Ammo Module and Packmaster both increase the maximum amount of damage that Collateral Damage can deal. 1 ammo deals 15% damage, default of 3 ammo deals 45% damage, but with up to 5 ammo in reserve CD can deal 75% base damage when fired.
- HMEC exosuits and defensive equipment benefits the Grenadier Shogun and compliments their increased health gain per rank.
- UHMEC-3 will provide a significant boost to your defensive capabilities, however the HMEC-3 will allow the Grenadier to off-carry an additional secondary weapon alongside a Grenade & MINE launcher, such as Restorative Mist to assist in longer missions with healing, which also benefits from packmaster with +1 charge.
