Unfuckingbelievable. I guess it's a fitting end to the career of one of the most criminally underutilized soldiers this channel has ever seen. Man, and when you were FINALLY figuring out how powerful she could be. And the new guy, too, I guess.
agree on both points (her being underutilized and fitting end). she was brilliant - besides that close combat ability being bugged - both before AND after the re-do.
Well, that’s a gut punch. Easy to criticise but hindsight is 20/20 though I do understand the criticism about not trying to stun the legate. And thank you to everyone who had the thoughtfulness to leave a spoiler tag in their comment. It is appreciated.
Yeah, I thought to answer in here to also show appreciation for people leaving a spoiler tag. 😁 It's kind of a big part of my "viewer religion" and find it hard to digest when someone doesn't and I end up braking one of my own commandments! 🤣
Not to rub salt in the wound, but this isn't the first time you've canceled suppression with falling units in this campaign. Its happened to you in the last couple episodes, you've done it to enemies previously both canceling their suppression and cancelling your own on them. Sometimes you gotta learn the lesson the hard way.
I think we've seen this before this season, on a facility mission, IIRC. Falling meaning the unit has moved from the suppressed spot and therefore cancelling it. A rare enough occurrence that it can be hard to remember and so always sneaks up on you as a bad surprise. With a really devastating effect this time...
I wonder how many grenades Legate has. Perhaps its worth considering to use abilities that detonate his grenades on him, so he cannot use those against you.
Even if the suppression hadn't been cancelled, I think it still fires those two AOEs, so don't beat yourself up over it too much - the only way you could have prevented it (imo) would have been spreading Duchess and Whisper out more, but that Elite Lancer surviving as long as he did really gimped your initial plan
Yeah, he had disabling shot and the arc thrower available. With a bit of luck he could have stunned it for up to 5 actions, and forced a reload as the first action had it surviced long enough to even take an action.
@@SaturnusDK Wait, they can? I thought for sure stuns fell under "mental impairment" okay, yikes. I still personally can't blame Odd for reading that F1 text block and assuming mental impairment would prevent stuns, but I take the point
If the bot suppressed as well it'd be -150 aim tho, even a flanked shot was likely to miss. Looking at the damage, the Legate managed to deal precisely 22 dmg in that turn so if it didn't crit duchess would've lived.
@@ericbanks7375maybe none of us, but would suppression have done anything versus those aoe attacks? My read of the legate is the necessary tactics are stay away from it, stay away from the rest of the squad.
@@jwbaker No, I think that you would have had to stun the legate to avoid/minimize the AoE attacks. However, it may have given Duchess a chance on that final shot, which was a 100% to hit, 77% to crit, depending on how much aim reduction double suppression grants. Alternatively, run everyone back except 'zotz and let Pop sniper the thing until its HP less than 50%, then bring in the squad to finish it off.
So, restarting the season? I think that was said 20 episodes ago, "if Duchess dies I'll quit the campaign"? 😆 Also, can we pour one out for "Whispers"? You know, the OTHER person that died? Gone too soon, man!
*PERSONAL LOG #32 (Episode 134)* *Asa “Rapunzel” Brouwer* *Before Operation Bouncing Death* I saw the Skyranger land on the flightdeck. Something felt off though… screams… I could hear screams. Why? Was it that Altar in my head or something else? There was a mission that we just briefed for, so we barely had time to see who got off the ship. How does Firebrand do this? Flying in and fly off with barely enough time to refuel. At first, I thought things would be normal. People landing and high fiving each other for another mission well done. But when the ship landed, the people that stepped off looked… lost, like how I feel lately. Eyes staring at the ground as they don’t want to talk to anyone. Then I see why. Two… two body bags are carried out. Two. I didn’t know Whisper. A new guy that was another cannon user… another cannon user. Why is it always us? The other was someone I didn’t think could ever die. With all the psionic training she had gone through and all the secret things that happened behind closed doors. I was sure she was ready for anything. I don’t know what killed her, but her body… the acid burns, fire, and who knows what else. It was… is…. To much to bear. I will ask what happened later, but right now, another mission came up. Operation Bouncing Death. I hope that means we have a special bomb and not that the enemy will have that. There is no time to mourn or properly say goodbye. Not while we are being sent off again. So, I will just say this. I am sorry this war took you. I am sorry that I wasn’t there to cut down the armor. I am sorry that you met such a horrible fate. I am sorry that your story just… ends. No final farewells, not hugs and kisses, no… just… nothing. That is how it is. You have plans, you fall in love and then…. All is gone. No words, no thoughts, no… anything. Goodbye, Duchess. Goodbye and thank you. We will win this war and even without you here, know that you got us this far. Everyone that was lost helped us get here. You will be remembered, even if only in a journal. Even if we lose, we tried. Yes, we lost two, reader of my journal. How many more? If you are reading this, you know… don’t you? You know who was lost and while I can scream at the wind, you will never hear me. You never knew me. You never knew her. You never knew us… but for this journal. I hope you understand what we did. I hope you understand that we never gave up. Just remember that… *END LOG*
One of those moments watching a gamer be a gamer. Nearly flawless tactical execution for like 50 episodes. This is why I like XCOM though, it will make you regret a mistake.
Try using multiple elemental grenades on the legate at the same time. Incendiary to make him burn, acid bomb, and poison him all in the same turn since they tick ever action he takes.
Yeah, I felt that description talking about elemental damage ticking with each actions was quite an interesting clue on how to handle them. Maybe the way it was interpreted didn't make it sound like such, hopefully it'll come up in the next encounters with them!! 😁
Such a rugh one, but... Honestly, I pretty much love the pain this game brings, that's just X-Com, right? Many, many thanks for all the joy, fun, excitement and all the struggle this series shares with everyone!!! 😁 Now, I know I can't be the only one who really wanted to learn about how it is like living in Australia, who's with me? But with that tittle I imagined the comments weren't really going to focus primarily on that... Now I know for sure people will be focused on, let say, something else! Anyways, 133 episodes in and this is still such an Epic ride for me!!! Lots of thanks once again, for real!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Spoiler: . . . . Losing Duchess is painful. She was my favorite soldier for much of the campaign, and it was sad how little use she saw. I knew that blowing the roof would break the overwatch, which just made it terrible watching him contemplate it.
Worst part of living in Australia? The cost. If you visit be prepared - a week's food for one adult and child works out to about 15 hours of minimum wage work. Rent in my city is 25-30 hours. Utilities another 2-5. Parking for work 5 hours - public transport is relatively cheap but consumes 10 hours for commute but cars are 5 hours. It sure is beautiful, and the wildlife makes it worth it.
Wow, a second comment talking about this, that's awesome I was really interested when Odd mentioned it!!! Thought not many people would focus on that, so many thanks for sharing!!! Hope the cost of things gets better in the future, maybe with time. Even if it's unlikely, we can always hope, right? 😁 (I mean, I'm from Argentina, if we don't keep the hope up, there's no much point in anything, lol! 🤣).
Its amazing how strong the reaction of the viewers is. Last time I saw this, was when Ned Stark died. So your content is right up there with hollywoods finest 😅
I've evac'd twice after completing mission objective rather than face an unsuppressed legate. It's a a vicious beast - it critted a SuperHeavy MEC I controlled for 30 damage and snuffed it out in just one of its shots. Spoiler That first corrosion bomb alone did 7-10 damage AFTER it went through the armor of Whisper and Dutchess. They be no joke.
@@ericbanks7375 To be fair, he was a couple of turns away from ending it before the misplay. Not sure the suppression would have helped even if it wasn't removed. Duchess was too close to Karter and the whole AOE sequence might still have happened. I think moving in close to a legate is too dangerous because he'll blast you with that AOE.
*Spoiler* I've finally caught up with the campaign only to see my MVP die trying to get an up close selfie with a Legate. RIP Duchess. You will be remembered! o7 You definitely made up for your Season 8 turret woes. 😂 I think looking at the numbers if Duchess had kept the shield offhand she would have survived that onslaught. But I understand the desire for the utility PSI options bring.
Spoiler It's a shame Tribal Chief's bondmate Caerbannog wasn't available for this mission - he could have given him an AP to re-establish suppression and Duchess, at least, would have had a fighting chance on that last shot.
Hi back to finish the video now, after 2 days, cause what happened was really a shock 😢 Rip Duchess! You are great Commander, and i follow your videos since many Years Hi from Italia
Thinking about where it went wrong, I think putting the RAGE suit on 'Whisper' was the first mistake. The other uh.... problems kind of followed from that. No RAGE suit on 'Whisper', no close encounter with the lancer, no easy group target for the legate. Maybe just leave melee attacking to soldiers buit specifically for the job, not inheriting it from a piece of equipment. So it goes.
Hiya, Odd. Completely off topic, but I got to wondering if you watch the PWHL at all, and if you have a favorite team. I never had any interest in hockey but after watching just a couple of games I've become a huge Montréal Victoire fan. Oh, and uh, my condolences for that catastrophic loss of a great soldier. And that other guy.
I maintain that top tear requiem units are bs. That's still not the worst case. Worst case - you do a bad activation. One legate/mechapeade can squadwipe you. This game is made assuming you sometimes do a mistake. You shouldn't be punished this much for a tiny misstep.
Odd kinda believes putting a unit in full cover makes it near invulnerable. And he didn't even consider the legate could really easily remove that cover. That's what not reading unit abilities does to you.
You don’t need to kill things once you’ve destroyed the transmitter. You can just leave and still win the mission (you just don’t get corpse salvage) PS, how do you keep your game uncorrupted? The games I play (using exact same mods as yours) always get corrupted by the psi gate. I’ve done all the obvious things
Both love and hate how busted these classes have been this campaign, especially with some of the buggy interactions with some of the abilities. Even though I've kinda been switched off for awhile now because of it unfortunately, I'm still watching these, they are still good vids, I just don't really care for the classes anymore. Requiem does a good job making things spicy (Legates are scary asf), minus a couple of uh bugs like we just saw lol, but some of these soldiers man, idk, some of them almost trivialize a bunch of the missions. That's not to take away from the fact that Chris is an absolute beast at this game, I guess I just prefer the simpler times, with Proficiency classes. I wonder if we'll get a season 10, nice round number right? 200 episodes?!
I am not going to be harsh because Odd is way better than me so I won't criticize his gameplay. I will always watch his playthroughs though. As I learn from him and other youtubers I have noticed that Odd is more of a tactician than strategist. Hindsight is 20/20 but I wonder if he take notes? It seems like he forgets things from previous encounters. He could have used those notes to make better tactic decisions.
ADVENT Sentinel Z.Caron Senior Grade, Investigations Division 1830 Hrs, Slums District: Shadow Park Begin Recording Caron: If we didn’t lose the Legate, I may be inclined to support your belief that we took acceptable losses. However, we did lose the Legate, so therefore, you are wrong. … You complete and utter puppet. Legates are commanding officers in the Requiem Legion and this particular one was heading up counterinsurgency operations against XCOM. … The two operatives that got killed were overconfident and bunched up. The Legate took advantage of this and dealt with them. The remaining XCOM operatives were quick to avenge their comrades. … The only good news is that we managed to neutralise one of XCOM's psionically capable operatives. That will be one less thing to worry about. End Recording
I love XCom 2. None of it makes sense. The relay is in an abandoned area, is way to big for its use, and takes way too long to transmit. Whatever useless info it's sending must be a petabyte's worth and going to the moon. "We're from another star system but we haven't worked out wifi or proper curved roads" You could skin the game in Steampunk and it would make more sense.
Honestly, this was just a lazy mission but please recap what you can actually do to enemies before facing them. Legates can be stunned and you had multiple ways to do so. I'm frankly shocked at how poor this mission was executed. Thankfully, there were fatalities so the lesson might be learned.
Legates can be stunned! It's one of the most powerful counters to them. Crazy that you never at at least tried it against them.
I’m actually surprised - usually stuns fall under “mental impairment”
and he never freezes his ass
Yeah I really didn’t think they could be stunned lol. He might have literally saved everyone by just choosing the disabling shot that’s crazy.
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
Unfuckingbelievable. I guess it's a fitting end to the career of one of the most criminally underutilized soldiers this channel has ever seen. Man, and when you were FINALLY figuring out how powerful she could be.

OMG, the screams... so visceral... so much pain. That sounded like a horrible way to go. RIP Duchess. That was just intense.

it's absolutely happened before IN this campaign. i was screaming the whole time that it was going to drop the suppression.
I feel it should actually Trigger the suppressions fire reaction. they moved....not by their own violition, but they STILL MOVED!!! lol
@
i agree with this 100%.
"some people call this part of the game, the victory lap." why do you say such things!? RIp
what a bug... a stunned requiem unit shouldn't be allowed to react lol
Yes this totally sucks
I wonder how many grenades Legate has. Perhaps its worth considering to use abilities that detonate his grenades on him, so he cannot use those against you.
Wow, that might actually be a cool thought, they get damage faster from ticking effects, right? With each action they take or something like that.
This might've been the most insane loss of the season. This game is not painless

No. He could just have stunned the Legate. It would have to miss 2 actions and then reload. Just lazy from Odd this one.

The moment I saw Odd target legate with micro missiles I was sreaming "nooooooooooo it will remove the suppression !!!!"
What mod shows you what enemies your soldiers have vision of before you move them to a specific spot?
I think it's the '[WOTC] LOS Preview Ability' ??? might be misremembering though.

Caron: If we didn’t lose the Legate, I may be inclined to support your belief that we took acceptable losses. However, we did lose the Legate, so therefore, you are wrong.
…
You complete and utter puppet. Legates are commanding officers in the Requiem Legion and this particular one was heading up counterinsurgency operations against XCOM.
…
The two operatives that got killed were overconfident and bunched up. The Legate took advantage of this and dealt with them. The remaining XCOM operatives were quick to avenge their comrades.
…
The only good news is that we managed to neutralise one of XCOM's psionically capable operatives. That will be one less thing to worry about.

I think you are getting bored after you've solved all the puzzles of the mods. When you've played like this it is also getting hard to watch.
I feel like suppression getting removed like that is a bug in the game or base something. There's no way that should take away suppression
Suppression is on a single tile - when he falls, he is no longer on the tile - it isn't technically tied to a "unit" in that way.
I love XCom 2.
None of it makes sense.
The relay is in an abandoned area, is way to big for its use, and takes way too long to transmit. Whatever useless info it's sending must be a petabyte's worth and going to the moon.
"We're from another star system but we haven't worked out wifi or proper curved roads"
You could skin the game in Steampunk and it would make more sense.

Lego Masters Australia is another good show. First 4 seasons on Tubi
Honestly, this was just a lazy mission but please recap what you can actually do to enemies before facing them. Legates can be stunned and you had multiple ways to do so. I'm frankly shocked at how poor this mission was executed. Thankfully, there were fatalities so the lesson might be learned.
