i don't know man
imo: use overwatch only when shoting is 40% or less
sometimes its better to waste 2nd move to run away to better cover

overwatch is only good against floaters or incoming thinman spawns that you know where they will spawn

@Tezz_La'Coil They never told you about that, tutorial explains only very basic mechanics. Many details of game were discovered by reading game code or via in-game experiments.

Anyway, I checked experimentally that if you play Enemy Within, you can move even TWO tiles in enemy's field of view without triggering reaction shot.

I was not aware that moving one tile at a time was a way to circumvent Overwatch. Either they never told me, or I glossed over it, but that's very interesting, and I can see how it might not be useful all the time; It's an interesting mechanic that could become useful in a small set of scenarios, however, and explains the 'two phase' movement that the game has, at least to some degree.

Really usefull when you start meeting Sectopods aswell since they always have one overwatch shot for free each turn.

Overwatch is one reason you should always have a lightning reflexes Assault so if needed you can force an overwatch shot pinning someone in a bad location.

Short & to the point - good guide, thanks!

This was very helpful thanks alot.

Ah yes i haven't tried it yet but i will thanks bro :)

Glad I could help! If you ever want to play multiplayer, shoot me a friend request. :)

Thanks for this, the difficulty spikes in this game are killing me on normal (my first strategy turn based game) so this can help me when being overwatched and I'll try to remember these facts
