In this video I talk about the tactical skills you should be using in War of the Chosen, the best way to use the Reaper, the Templar and the Skirmisher. We talk about what upgrades you should prioritize, how you should face off against the lost, why ability points are important, the reason you should use sparks, how to manage the avatar project, think about the ways to tackle the Spectre, Priest and Purifier, give advice how to eliminate the field commander, think about the best way to use bonds, why sometimes it is best to let the Chosen steal knowledge, why you should engage alien rulers from out of line of sight, explore the power of chosen weapons and alien ruler armour and look at what are the best resistance orders in the game.
Please leave a like if you found it useful.

I decided to look up tips on a whim and found your video posted a day ago. That’s incredible timing and thanks for the advice. One resistance order I’m running right now is lost instant kill. It helps for some of the five health enemies while my guns are still low damage output.
Nice to hear! Yeah I like that resistance order! It makes those lost missions so much less tedious!
For the Resistance Orders, I'd add Infiltration (Reapers, timers don't start until you lose concealment) and Vultures (Skirmishers, enemies drop more loot) as really good ones.
Detail to Tactical Analysis: Some aliens behave differently now, so be prepared for that. For example, Spectres and Stun Lancers will often shoot immediately, as they can't reach you.
Sectopods, Gatekeepers and Archons in battlefrenzy have three actions, so they will still be able to move and attack.
(I know Feedback (Templars, enemies take damage when using psionics on your squad) isn't that good overall, but damn if it isn't hilarious to see a Codex one-shot itself.)
Amazing video, I can’t find a single view expressed that I disagree with. It is truly amazing how hard it starts but how rofl it becomes with end game gear and multiple training centre upgrades. Love it❤
Thanks mate! Yeah, have to say, I love how powerful you can get by the endgame. Glad you enjoyed the vid!
Need more tips like this for my play through, it's rough
Keep going. You will get there!
@@roguebrothers i actually lost but I'm trying again tomorrow
To add on to the lost point: I recommend saving explosives on a lost + alien mission, since they summon more lost and if you get overwhelmed with aliens you can pop two grenades and a lost swarm will show up, often distracting and sometimes dealing some damage to the aliens.
Yes this is a great tactic if you're in trouble - although on the negative side it does make the mission last so much longer!
I have had this ame in my library for many years and never completed it. I recently started to play it again. I will try not to rage quit this time, and actually finish the game. Thanks for the video! :D
Yeah, I feel you. Just start a new camapgn if things go south, especially on harder difficulty.. You will need the first 5 mission to go pretty much flaweless
Rulers also dont get a move if you give the overwatch order. So put all but one soldiers on overwatch and have the last one attack the ruler. When the ruler makes its move, all other soldiers will shoot without triggering any further ruler actions.
My first time playing xcom I accidentally started wotc. It was brutal
FINALLY!
Hola que tal, dejaré mi comentario en español.
Comencé un nuevo juego en ironman dificultad comandante, en la 2da misión perdí al equipo completo jajajaja, me voy recuperando poco a poco, creo que podré ganarle a los aliens, estoy jugando con mods(que no afectan al gameplay), jajaj me hace años no toco el juego y pro fin me dispongo a jugar en ironman mode, saludos🙌✌️
I just got roughed up pretty bad yesterday. I was about 6 hours into my first commander Ironman playthrough and, after a series of unfortunate events, had 2 squad wipes and I was left with only 6 pretty much rookies. Many lessons learned in this video and through my failure.
I would be seriously tempted to restart at that point - or you continue but it will be Ultra Hard Mode!
@roguebrothers I ended up restarting. New play through is going 10x better!
just bought all 3 dlc for £4 in a steam sale! LOADED UP A SAVE AND IT SAID I HADNT PLAYED SINCE 2015 LOL, SO I STARTEDD A NEW GAME, IVE NEVER TRIED THE DLC BEFORE
sorry caps
@@FrostFire1987Steam will remember prior games you played, even if you uninstalled them
Seems your caps-lock key got stuck. here's a tool to fix that, no charge! {UnCaps.exe}
During the assault of the chosen stronghold. All chosen behave differently when you confront them
Assassin vanish and hide somewhere nearby.
Warlock doesn't do anything when appear giving you chance to eliminate him before he use his ability.
Hunter grapple out of your range.
Put this in mind because chosens will do behave like this when they appear that means you can use battle scanner on a grenadier with salvo to a cloaked assassin. Shoot the everliving daylight at the warlock and JFK the hunter if you have more than one sharpshooters.
This is because after chosens death the sarcophagus became vulnerable in couple of turn (depends on the difficulty) and regular enemies appearing every turn so destroy the sarcophagus as fast as you can while dealing with enemies. If the sarcophagus was destroyed the chosens will appear one last time with health percent of the turn it got destroyed i recommend bring soldiers that can deal damage as much as possible to all enemies every chosen has special abilities so look for ways to counter them
Jeeeeses this game is advanced!
Will you do a video like this for xenonauts 2 and/or phoenix point?
I might do if people would like us to make one?
@@roguebrothers yeah I would
Top vid!
I can attest, exploit the lost as much as you can in the early game because there will always be maps where your troops will be at a massive disadvantage almost making a wipe a guarantee unless you over watch in a corridor where troops/aliens haft to go to you through the zombies, just keep clear of the wall in case they try to make an opening.
I hate the lost missions they are so creepy
I love the lost maps. Snipers are the best for The Lost because their pistol has unlimited ammo. Use the faction mod to one shot them 😈
make the passage of bad nords without skills and items
could you do a long war of the chosen guide? also, have you heard of UnderRail?
I have yet to play LWOTC. It's on my to do list. No never heard of UnderRail
@@roguebrothers underrail is a hard as balls post apocalyptic cyberpunkish crpg that takes place underground, there are about 15 types of weapons (if you include your fists which are viable if you make a psi monk) 4 psionic schools (aka sci-fi magic) a imersive yet memorable soundtrack, tons of mysteries, sick lore, amazing turn based combat system, imense amount of options in character creation and finally competent dialogue and characters that just gets even better after the dlc (expedition), and in the free updates that came after it from 2019 to 2021, also there's a new dlc coming november 1st, called heavy duty, it will add a new questline, companions, and 4 new weapons: grenade launchers, light machineguns and miniguns
I've started WOTC with hardest difficulty. I suffer, I'm lost and I have no hope to make the campain :D
I decided I know the game well enough to not eliminate the chosen. Got through waterworld easy enough, but I was quite lucky in a way because the first one to come at me had the detection capability and was the assassin, so my usual reaper tactics were good for the whole end mission. The hardest part was the fact that she appeared right in front of the second pack of aliens, which included a sectopod, 2 heavy MEC and some troops. Separated her from them with the templars invert ability and had the templar retreat to high cover. Team was close enough to easily kill the flanked assassin and too far for the sectopod to be a real danger. Last chosen in the avatar room was warlock who was as harmless as always. Appeared on the opposite side of the portal room. He just gave my death from above soldier 4 more zombies to shoot.
Thanks for sharing. I've never actually done the last mission with the Chosen but sounds like a fun challenge!
My greatest takeaway - I FORGOT I COULD GIVE THEM CIGARETTES
used to be absolutely convinced that the purfier wouldnt explode if you attacked it on the 180* angle that doesnt have its back gas canister.
shame its just a percent chance...
Yeah - purifier blowing up can sometimes be so annoying - especially if they happen to trigger an overwatch near an objective!
Priests can be hilarious, when they put stasis on one of your soldiers that is about to get killed.
If I add a weapon upgrade to say a sniper rifle.
Then I upgrade sniper weapons.
Does the weapon add on stay with new upgraded rifle. Or do i lose it ?
Yes I believe you keep the mods when you upgrade your weapons
@@roguebrothers okay I'm gonna upgrade them
You better be right
Causenthey are so rare !
@@Michaelkayslay If you're worried, save it and then test it out
@@roguebrothers okay babe. That's a good idea
Tip 1: save scum
IRON MAN BABY!!
I'm a save scummer and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
@@One.Zero.One101 I hate when autosave just doesn't work and I've forgotten to manually save, I have to accept the consequences of my actions or go really far back
I didnt know you could just give up a dazed teammate to the chosen. On the 5th mission the assassin showed up and wrecked my ass that caused a wipe. Ironically it was on the hunt commander mission where i wasted a turn killing the advent general.
Yeah this one is counter-intuitive because it feels stupid to leave your soldier dazed. I believe your soldier can also be captured by the Chosen, but this is also better than having a wipe, as you can go and free them later in the campaign. The hunt the commander mission is like that - it puts you under a sort of pressure that induces you to make painful decisons.
I have not found the hunt commander missions to be too difficult. I don’t know if they changed them, but the general doesn’t run until the shuttle has landed. Usually by then I am camped around the shuttle, and so when the commander runs for it I kill him easily.
I have had more difficulty with the protect the XCOM tower. It’s the one where you have an object that is being shot by enemies until you can get there and protect it. I find later in the game it gets blasted so quickly I don’t have a chance to get there in time.
@@OfficialPhdPepper It sounds to me like you are a meticulous player who takes their time rather than goes all guns blazing. It may be that your play style suits one mission over the other. My advice to protect the tower is to bring rangers, grenadiers and templars and go aggressive, rushing the early turns.
@@roguebrothers you might be right! Rangers are so good but I’m still a one pod at a time puller 😉
@@OfficialPhdPepper If you want to watch an alternative way of doing it, then watch my 'Close Combat' WOTC playthough.
Always save lol i only save twice thou if u die reload 😂
They made this game so annoyingly hard
TIP Nº22:
Be aggressive
B-e aggressive
B-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e
Templars not even worth it, I'll take a Skirmisher over them. I admit I thought they were better until I had them alongside my Skirmisher, I'll take a PSI over them
I love my Templars but it does lead to a very aggressive playstyle
They can be worth it, if they are at a minimum gifted/genius as well as landing blade storm and reaper😂. All those other awesome super end-game skills in their main tree also won’t matter if they can’t afford them on their own, since shared AP is often best reserved else-where(reapers…).
Can’t say I like skirmishers per say either, and if any turn up above average or standard too, I’d dismiss them just as easily, but rng keeps throwing me geniuses. And since they’re less rng dependant on their extra’s… gaining 4 out of only a possible 5 skills, I can almost always bet on tactical rigging and saturation fire, which isn’t spectacular, but still does much to fill out their swiss army knife like array of useful tools for every situation, even if their not broken OP.
I don't understand. All I have heard from this vid with the exception of soldier capture is just, common sense? Like yeah prioritize armour, can't use your new fancy plasma gun if you die before you can. At least the lost one I never considered before now but the rest? It was well put together but basically all I learned was the equivalent of "use your head and you'll be fine."
Only 3 tips needed.
1. Don't download the game
2. Don't install the game
3. Don't play the game
Aditional tip. Uninstall the game if you have missed the 3 tips.
Then you will be spared of a total failure and waste of time.
mad cuz bad
lol. WotC iz easily among my top 3 games evah, and its the one game i often comes back to, due to kick @ss Mods creation. Its Superb♡
Now stop whining nd start grinding!!
