 Lance Corporal |
 The GREMLIN can perform healing actions remotely: GREMLIN Heal and GREMLIN Stabilize. The GREMLIN has a single charge. If a medikit is equipped, the GREMLIN will gain an additional charge. |
 You gain +10 Aim on Overwatch and other reaction shots, and they can critically hit. |
 Send the GREMLIN to an enemy to jolt them, dealing guaranteed damage, which is increased against robotic enemies. |
 Corporal |
 Send the GREMLIN to an ally to remove any negative mental status effects: Disoriented, Stunned, Panicked, or Unconscious. |
 Overwatch shots can now be triggered by any enemy action, not just movement. Targets of overwatch shots receive -10 aim for the rest of the turn whether or not the shot was triggered because of this ability. |
 GREMLIN cancels overwatch on targeted unit. Use three times per battle. Number of uses is increased with advanced GREMLINs. |
 Sergeant |
 Equipped medikits have 2 extra charges. |
 Fire a barrage that pins down a target, grants reaction fire against it if it moves, restricts the use of many abilities, and imposes a -25 penalty to the target's aim. |
 The GREMLIN grants an explosive grenade to the targeted ally. Use twice per mission. |
 Staff Sergeant |
 Reduce wound recovery times for most soldiers. |
 If you spend all of your actions on moves, you are granted an automatic overwatch shot at the end of the turn. |
 If you fail a hack, you prevent any negative effects from occurring. |
 Tech Sergeant |
 Healing abilities restore four additional hit points. |
 When in overwatch, you may take two reaction shots. |
 Enemy units that are hacked take damage and lose their actions on the turn the hack effect ends. |
 Gunnery Sergeant |
 The GREMLIN can trigger an instant scan of the area, increasing the Specialist's sight radius substantially for one turn, and revealing any hidden or disguised enemies in view. |
 Take a reaction shot against any enemy that moves or attacks within a cone of fire. |
 Aid Protocol now grants the target a Covering Fire Overwatch shot. |
 Master Sergeant |
 The GREMLIN flies to each squad member, healing or reviving them as needed. |
