XCOM EW Multiplayer: zig2101 vs dooderbuddy's chryssalids
1Chryssalids in XCOM EW, unlike in XCOM 2, are very overpriced (3000 points). For that amount of points you should just get a more versatile unit like a heavy floater or a sectoid commander. Chitin plating cuts melee damage in half so soldiers equipped with it are hard for chryssalids to take down. It remains one of my favorite items for that reason, the cost, and for the extra hit points it gives. Chryssalids can easily be taken out due to their low hit points and are useless against airborne units. They just don't have the multiplying power that they do that makes them more viable in XCOM 2. In XCOM 2, Chryssalids cost much less, they're a little harder to kill, and if you didn't bring a medic along, there's no way to remove chryssalid poison (a poisoned unit will slowly lose hit points every turn until it dies an agonizing death and becomes a cocoon for baby chryssalids). In Enemy Within, I've never seen anyone successfully make a new chryssalid in multiplayer.
One more word of advice: don't name your sniper GOTCHYABITCH!!
That's just tacky.
PS--It's so easy to forget not to move your units through an area where "rift" has been cast... geeze.
