==Description==
 +
The following tables list the effect of single shots from all XCOM firearms upon hitting enemies, both alien and EXALT, detailing if they will achieve full kills or not, or the odds of achieving a kill, if the damage variation of the weapons can allow for either KILL/NO KILL results.
  
−
==Impossible Weapons Kill Table==
+
The damage output from the weapons considers both the Base and Critical damage range values. Unlike the Base Damage range, where there are 3 possible results, all with a 33% chance, the Critical Damage range is composed of only 2 possible values, with a 66%/33% distribution, due to a game bug. This bug doesn't not occur with the Headshot Sniper ability (and possibly with others), but the damage values below don't take that range into account.

===Notes on Damage===
 
−
* BASE = alien can be killed with 1 shot; CRIT = alien requires either 2 normal shots or 1 critical hit with usually maximum critical damage.
 
−
* Regarding the different numbers seen in the Barracks info and the actual game values, one theory is that the damage range can vary, i.e. a weapon listed with a 9 damage can vary between 8 and 10 and you see the maximum damage before firing.
 
−
* How the critical damage is applied isn't clear/proven. The model above assumes that there are separate rolls, 1 for normal damage, then it is added the value of another roll for critical damage.  
 
−
* The other model is that the maximum damage for a critical hit is the one listed but that doesn't fit with actual combat results, since I've seen Heavy Plasmas dealing 16 damage to a flanked soldier.

===Discussion===
+
There are also other ability that will either increased the damage output (Killer Instinct, Bring 'Em On, Shredder Rocket, etc.) while others will reduce it (Iron Skin Gene Mod). Those are also not considered on the tables below.  
−
:Apologies for intruding, but are we sure that Critical damage completely stacks with Base damage?  So far as I've seen, critical damage OVERLAPS base damage, IE, a critical hit uses the higher "Critical damage" number in the randomizer, instead of the Baze Damage number. 
 
−
::I appreciate the feedback. Good question - my current impression is that damage is dealt in two rolls, one for hit (base damage) and a 2nd one which seems to be randomized within the critical damage ability. I've made kills that also support this model, like 1 Alloy Cannon shot killing an undamaged Muton Elite that has been flanked. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 18:51, 6 November 2012 (EST)
 
−
:Also, the Base Damage, as found elsewhere, seems to be able to be modified by one (and possibly more)in either direction. So Guaranteed kills may not quite count unless the damage is high enough that even -1 is still enough to one-shot.  (IE, 4 base damage LMG, -1=3: Still enough for a Sectoid) [[User:Arrow Quivershaft|Arrow Quivershaft]] 18:41, 6 November 2012 (EST)
 
−
::I've checked the damage on my current Classic game. From what I've researched there's no change to it on the difficulty levels. Which makes a lot of sense since it's a lot easier to learn the game if you always play with the same weapon stats. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 18:51, 6 November 2012 (EST)
 
  
−
:What I mean is that it randomizes damage on a hit, not by difficulty, just a bit of basic randomizing so that things aren't always the same.  Sorry for being unclear.  [[User:Arrow Quivershaft|Arrow Quivershaft]] 02:23, 7 November 2012 (EST)

::I've switched my game settings to show the alien's health bars (so far I was developing this model based on the results from hits to my soldiers. Yesterday I saw an Alloy Cannon dealing 22 damage points to a Sectopod so the basic assumption, game damage = (base damage roll) + (critical damage roll) is correct. The question is how the critical damage roll is distributed: on Base Damage the deviation seems to be slight (the values displayed on the Armory correspond to average base damage, while on missions the damage displayed while firing is the maximum base damage. On critical damage the distribution of results seems to follow a growing pattern: the bigger the critical damage inflicted the lesser the chance you'll get that result.[[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 08:57, 14 November 2012 (EST)

Soldier Management

  • Use the first 3 missions to bring all the 12 initial soldiers and reveal their classes.
  • The focus is on building a poll of soldiers - it should be around 10-12 soldiers being rotated on missions, plus a number of replacements.
  • A basic setup is to have 2-3 officers of each class, depending on personal preferences - your favorite build(s) for that class and his/her replacement, plus an alternative build for more specialized missions.
  • To get the Squad Size increase, you can get later a Sergeant as a reward in an abduction mission.
  • Try to get as soldiers as rewards during Abduction missions (although you may lose countries) - money and resources are easy to get, high rank soldiers take a lot of time to build up. Even if you have already 2 officers from that class
  • Usually the distribution of classes will not be balanced. Use Abduction missions to make up with any shortfalls.

1) Maps 2) Type and number of aliens.

The first criteria is if XCOM or the aliens are capable of killing their opponents with 1 shot. At the beginning the aliens will have the upper hand, specially in Classic/Impossible but that will keep changing back and forward as XCOM deploys new tech and the aliens bring more races. There's something of a ratio: if you're facing 3 lesser opponents or 2 similar ones or 1 superior alien you're outnumbered and your soldiers can be severely injured or killed.

With this in mind you may face three types of scenarios everytime you'll go on an Abduction/Terror/UFO missions. Council missions are predictable since you'll be facing always Sectoids or Thin Men.

Description

The following tables list the effect of single shots from all XCOM firearms upon hitting enemies, both alien and EXALT, detailing if they will achieve full kills or not, or the odds of achieving a kill, if the damage variation of the weapons can allow for either KILL/NO KILL results.

The damage output from the weapons considers both the Base and Critical damage range values. Unlike the Base Damage range, where there are 3 possible results, all with a 33% chance, the Critical Damage range is composed of only 2 possible values, with a 66%/33% distribution, due to a game bug. This bug doesn't not occur with the Headshot Sniper ability (and possibly with others), but the damage values below don't take that range into account.

There are also other ability that will either increased the damage output (Killer Instinct, Bring 'Em On, Shredder Rocket, etc.) while others will reduce it (Iron Skin Gene Mod). Those are also not considered on the tables below.

Game Files Info

AI Behaviour

Moving vs static packs

  • Moving packs will roam the battlefield until spotting XCOM or civilian units.
  • Static packs will be hunkered down and waiting for enemy units to be seen.
  • Ambush packs are aliens that will appear active but on Overwatch.
  • The AI will 'teleport' either type of packs from one map location to the other, if they are still 'unactivated' (haven't seen XCOM units)

Active vs passive aliens

  • Active aliens are alerted to XCOM's presence and will take action immediately upon sight.
  • Aliens can be activated in 3 ways:
    • By spotting XCOM units - the run for cover animation will be played - this requires for the XCOM unit to move into a visible square. However due to Line of Sight mechanics it is possible to spot a group of passive aliens while moving diagonally without activating them.
    • By being activated by other already active aliens - the individual alien seems to emit a specific sound that can activate passive packs without the 'run for cover' animation.
    • By firing and hitting any of the aliens with indirect fire by using Rocket Launchers, Squad Sight snipers, etc.

Swarming

  • The AI seems to respond to scouts by pulling back some units to 'alert' other alien packs and/or 'teleporting' aliens closer to the position of last seen XCOM units. If those aliens are already activated this will result in very nasty surprises for XCOM.
  • This can be visible on the amount of packs that are teleported and activated in terror/abduction missions in the first turns.

Tutorial/Council/Temple Ship Missions

  • All packs are static or ambush
  • Active aliens will not activate passive packs
  • No teleporting

Abduction/UFOs/Alien Base Missions

  • Moving/Static packs
  • Active aliens will not activate passive packs
  • Teleporting

Terror Missions

  • Moving/Static packs
  • Active aliens can activate passive packs
  • Teleporting

Squad Roles

There are 3 squad roles that each soldier can assume during a fight to achieve its tactical objectives, regardless of their class and/or abilities. They are:

  • Maneuver - the capacity for the squad to move and reach favorable positions during your turn;
    • Move/Dash - usual game actions;
    • This role involves detecting the enemy (scouting), retreating and/or outflanking it;
    • It also involves dislodging enemies from their own positions during your turn.
  • Fire - to weaken and/or eliminate enemy targets during your turn;
  • Fire/Throw - usual game actions.
    • This role also involves removing enemy cover or boosting up a soldier's Aim/Critical Chance stats.
  • Security - to prevent enemy actions during your and their turns.
    • Cover/Overwatch/Suppress/Hunker Down - usual game actions;
    • Security also involves healing wounds since they prevent KIAs.

The 3 roles are tightly interlinked together. A soldier moving to outflank an alien will increase squad security since it may force it to withdrawal from its position.

General vs Specialized Soldiers

Some soldiers are more inclined for specific squad roles than others due to their stats, class/abilities and equipment carried. The trade-off when selecting a soldier is between generality (for instance, a Rookie) and specialization (i.e. a Colonel). The more specialization, the better a soldier will be able to perform that specific role but if it is absent due to injury or incapacitated/killed, then your game play may be affected. In contrast, a more generic soldier will not be as effective in a specific role but it can more easily be replaced.

The choice between both types of soldier also reflects itself on the choice of class abilities at each rank. Each class is designed to favor 1 or more roles and the individual abilities reflect that design. Some abilities may also apply to two roles.
