The only way to put an end to The Chosen is to befriend the three factions that resist the ADVENT: the Reapers, Skirmishers, and Templars. They are the ones that can find the locations of the Citadel and destroy The Chosen once and for all.
Keep on reading this guide, if you can’t decide on which faction to choose, and learn what benefits they provide.
The Reaper Faction in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
Reapers use a special concealment ability called “Shadows” that allows them to stay undetected for as long as they don’t shoot from cover using a sniper rifle. But even then, there is only a 50% chance of them being detected (if your shots are precise) or not being detected at all (if you’re using special abilities).
You can also use the combination of powerful Claymore explosives and consecutive sniper shots to take enemies down. Just throw the Claymore at the enemy or a vehicle and shoot it from distance for a devastating blow. Surely, this kind of attack will reveal your position, but by that time, most of your enemies will be dead anyway.
If you like this kind of stealthy approach, then Reapers are the best choice for you. Below you will find Reaper abilities:
The Skirmisher Faction in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
The Skirmishers formed from a group of those who managed to escape the clutches of the ADVENT. These former agents are looking for ways to take revenge, and since they are being threatened by The Chosen as well, they will help you find and destroy them.
The Skirmishers consists of soldiers that utilize assault rifles and grappling gauntlets. The latter weapon not only helps them better move around shooting positions, but it also helps them pull themselves up to an enemy for tons of melee damage with the help of the Ripjack ability.
If you like shooting and moving around the map at a fast pace, then think about siding with the Skirmishers. Below you will find Skirmisher abilities:
The Templar Faction in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
The Templars are psionic soldiers from the Enemy Unknown era, and probably are the hardest allies to play with.
The Templars’ main weapons are swordblades. These are made from psionic energy and look cooler than anything you’ve seen in the series. This means that a Templar soldier will mainly fight in close melee combat that requires a lot of defensive features – and look awesome doing it.
In any case, whether you want to put more power into your damage stat or use soldiers with better defenses, you will need Focus – a resource that can be gained by killing enemies – that serves as an enhancement for all other Templar abilities.
Below you will find all the Templar abilities:
