What armor is that?

>repeat till mission failure

this doesn't seem very balanced, the only times I've beaten her in other playthroughs is when she does retarded shit next to me and is flanked/exploded the next turn. Seems like if the AI actually works she's impossible to kill

Doom mod with the Templar helmet.

Does Bladestorm trigger once you do a melee attack?

Battle scanners (which I know may be hard to have before the first terror mission) are really good against her. They make the fight so much less difficult.

If you melee someone and they don't die, if on their turn they try to melee you, attack you, or run away you get a bladestorm attack, even if you did parry.

Welp she decided to walk right next to my reaper and got flank revealed. That was a bit easy.

>Seems like if the AI actually works she's impossible to kill
Yeah, once she does that she's impossible to counter since she's not affect by Overwatch or any kind of effects.

They don't counter that tactic.

So if you get Bladestorm and that ability that switched Momentum for invulnerability or something it means you get a free attack?

does anyone know if the console version got any kind of optimization with the DLC or is it the same or worse
