Long war or regular?

Nah, most times people have a hard time with the game when they're new to the series.

EU or EW?

But generally the best advice is: Fuck military tacticts.
It's not a tactics game. It's a braindead tactics game.
Just get heavy and use rocket. Mec and use grenade launcher.

The start is indeed a little difficult, but once you get laser weapons you start to steamroll everyone.

Yes

It's a difficult game so no

Just play on easy and enjoy yourself and if you like the game give the harder difficulties a try. Learn mechanics and shit

You may want to instruct your soldiers to exercise restraint when using explosives

How to I clear Portent without fucking up?

Git gud

I never understood her point.
Outside of three aliens, do you even need to interrorgate any of them?
test alient, then outsider then isn't it Etheral for story reasons?
Come back with Mecs and snipers

The point of holding back with explosives is that they fuck the corpses up so you can't bring them back as resources.
Also I'm pretty sure each alien should be interrogated once because they give you either new research or big buffs on future research.

Either that or something very important flew over your head.

You lose weapon frags as well.

Thread theme

Literally baby's first Kingdom Battle.

Get out

You don't need any of that.
Seriously mecs can take on around 90% of things with a SHIV or two for psi aliens.

It's one of the fucking easier games for tactics after the first month when you get your first MEC.

And besides, mutons won't get killed in one hit with 3 damage grenades

Yes

People don't usually talk about SHIV but they are adorable and effective with much less downtime compared to regular soldiers. Your squad can be entirely made up of SHIV until way late in the game.

I save scummed every single turn. Play smarter not harder.

I too, three campaigns even

Plus in EW they're OP with the upgrade that gives them a constant 2 health per turn. 3 shivs can easily take out missions on their own
