Stats & Class

So, I'm guessing by Hobbes' edit that Annette is not a set class? Also, I am playing on Classic with Not Created Equal, Hidden Potential and Training Roulette. I also had Iron Will OTS upgrade before recruiting her. Her stats turned out to be 5 HP, 80 Will, 70 Aim. Are her stats any different as well? -- DracoGriffin 23:03, 24 November 2013 (EST)

I've only received Annette once and she was a Sniper with also 5 HP, 80 Will and 70 Aim on Classic. Her stats must be hardcoded like Zhang so it shouldn't matter which OTS/SW options are on when she's recruited. I've started a new game meanwhile and I've already done the alien base mission so it shouldn't be too long before playing Deluge and confirming this info. Hobbes 06:12, 25 November 2013 (EST)
Ouch, Sergeant Sniper with 70 Aim? Looks like she'd be best for Support, maybe Heavy if she's able to. Too low Aim for Sniper and too low HP for Assault. However, I can't wait to Psi test her and check out her voice files for Psionic skills, maybe she'll sound more confident or angry. Her voice for Combat Stims is... awkward. Thanks for uploading pictures, looks good! --DracoGriffin 11:35, 25 November 2013 (EST)
I don't remember HP, but it was same 80 Will and 70 Aim on Classic. And she was assault. Moyang 11:51, 25 November 2013 (EST)
Just got her again as a Support, same stats as the Sniper version. I've uploaded again the pictures but with a better resolution. Hobbes 12:14, 25 November 2013 (EST)
Yeh, I remember getting her as a Support, as well, but didn't use her since her stats were only slightly higer than my squaddies. Makes sense that she gets her own voice pack. Damn, was going to do my next play without Progeny, see if Slingshot really is statically psuehd to April.... hm, or someone extract her voice pack, put it up here? Would be easier to transcribe if we have the whole set, at least. --Xuncu 16:27, 25 November 2013 (EST)

Nickname

Has anyone been able to unlock a nickname for Annette? Nothing at Colonel or after Psi testing. Is she "exclusive" in that she never receives one or given one (locked out)? Strange that the three rescued abductees receive nicknames but not ner.--DracoGriffin 15:21, 12 December 2013 (EST)

No, but I personally have a couple of nicknames I call her everytime she starts complaining about something. Maybe that's why you can't assign her a nickname... to reduce the level of profanity that players would otherwise use while naming her ;) Hobbes 15:27, 12 December 2013 (EST)
Hey, I really enjoy her compared to standard rank and file. The new languages are great, but hers has personality. Her lines can be funny if she uses Arc Thrower or Combat Stims. As for her nickname, I'd probably use Savior. :P--DracoGriffin 16:06, 12 December 2013 (EST)
I love the new languages, especially French. Hearing a French soldier saying "merde" after missing a shot or a female soldier almost kissing away an "adieu" after wiping an alien makes me smile. Some of Annette lines are simply annoying, IMHO, a bit like Vahlen's :) Hobbes 19:00, 12 December 2013 (EST)
