Could Someone Give me Advice on Tactical Strategies for XCOM 2?

[samzyan]

Hello there,

I have recently delved into XCOM 2 and find myself captivated by its deep tactical gameplay. Although; I am facing some challenges and would greatly appreciate your insights and advice.

What are your go-to strategies for surviving the initial missions? I often struggle with maintaining squad cohesion and managing scarce resources effectively.

How do you typically specialize your soldiers? I find myself torn between different abilities and unsure of the best combinations for different mission types.

What are some key priorities when upgrading the Avenger? Should I focus on expanding my facilities; researching new tech; or prioritizing resistance communications?

Any tips for dealing with specific enemy types; especially in challenging situations like timed missions or when facing multiple pods simultaneously?

Are there any must have mods or tweaks that significantly enhance the gameplay experience without altering the core mechanics too much?

Also; I have gone through this post: https://www.strategycore.co.uk/forums/topic/10858-enemy-unknown-strategy-sap-guide/ I am eager to learn from your experiences and strategies to improve my gameplay. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or also just starting out; I believe we can all benefit from sharing our tactics and approaches.

 

Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.
