Always prioritize cover: Use cover effectively to protect your soldiers from enemy fire. Half cover provides some protection, but full cover is much more effective. Try to position your soldiers behind full cover whenever possible.
Flank your enemies: Look for opportunities to flank the enemy. Flanking provides a significant aim bonus and increases your chances of landing critical hits. Move your soldiers strategically to get behind enemy positions and take them out.
Use Overwatch: Overwatch is a valuable ability that allows your soldiers to take shots at enemy units that move within their line of sight. Use Overwatch to set up ambushes and catch the enemy off guard.
Research and develop new technologies: Invest in research and development to unlock new technologies and upgrades. This will give your soldiers an edge in battle and help you stay ahead of the enemy's advances.
Train your soldiers: Use the training facilities to level up your soldiers and unlock new abilities. Specialize your soldiers based on their strengths and play to their abilities in combat.
Manage your resources wisely: Balancing your resources is crucial. Allocate your funds to build facilities, recruit new soldiers, and upgrade your equipment. Keep an eye on your budget and make strategic decisions to maximize your effectiveness.
Expand satellite coverage: Satellites provide valuable bonuses and help you detect UFO activity. Expand your satellite coverage to different regions to gain more resources and reduce panic levels.
Manage panic levels: Keep an eye on panic levels around the world and prioritize missions in regions with high panic. Reducing panic levels will help you maintain the support of various nations and secure their funding.
Use explosives strategically: Explosives can be a powerful tool in destroying cover and dealing damage to multiple enemies. Use them strategically to weaken enemy positions or remove cover when flanking is not an option.
Adapt to the enemy: Different enemy types have unique strengths and weaknesses. Adapt your tactics and loadouts to counter the specific threats you encounter. Experiment with different strategies to find what works best against each enemy type.
