XCOM 2: Ranking Every Class From Worst To Best

Given the fact that NEO: The World Ends With You was just announced recently, it's only a given that more and more people would have the incentive to play what is easily one of the most unique and memorable titles on the Swit


The Disgaea series has been a stalwart strategy JRPG series for quite some time, and Disgaea 5 pushes the franchise to new heights with massive quality-0f-life changes, along with the tightening of gameplay mechanics to allow for some truly nail-biting combat scenarios ind


This SLG Game news, as it says in the beginning of the demo, is not messing around. Like Square Enix’s Bravely Default II demos, they too were cranked up in difficulty in the hopes of showing off the battle system at its fullest. It would seem then that based on the intro dialogue to this game, difficulty settings will be implanted in the final product. It’s sadly not a given though as many games still don’t offer these options for myriad reasons like Dark So


This isn't to say they can't have some great offensive builds, particularly if you enjoy using their Hacking abilities and want to make any robot opponent's day a nightmare. Just because they have versatility, though, doesn't mean you'll be as overwhelmed by their abilities like your offensive clas


Few games can get as intense as an ironman run of XCOM . This turn-based strategy game is all about fighting aliens with personalized soldiers in strategic combat. Unique classes exist that grant unique abilities to even the o


There is no function to skip conversations entirely though which is a feature that usually is in games. One may want to skip scenes for myriad of reasons like playing the same story twice, or someone more interested in the RPG gameplay rather than the st


Or at least, that's what you'd hope for. The Psy-Operatives cost a huge amount of your resources, and very few of their abilities end up working against certain opponents. If you can take the time building it up, it'll often be quite helpful and will definitely appear as an all-star, but for the most part these classes aren't exactly vital necessities for your t


Many of these abilities are also far more reliable than the Psy-Operative suite early on, and this can make them far more worthwhile to train and invest in. Psy-Operatives were often considered overpowered in the original XCOM 2, but new and old players can save tons of time by just filling that role with a Templar inst

_Updated March 8th, 2021 by Gene Cole: While this list originally gave a very detailed list of the best and worst classes for higher-level players, many new players might find that the best strategies are too complicated and difficult to use. In a game like XCOM 2, the strongest characters can often be the simplest, here's a little refresh to help both new and expert players of XCOM 2 make an overpowered strike tea


The Nintendo Switch is home to some truly amazing JRPGs, and one need only look at the latest addition to its lineup to understand why this is the case. By all accounts, Project Triangle Strategy looks absolutely brilliant and worth any person's time who loves the 2.5D art style that has come up recently and wants to see more games in the same vein. Of course, the fact that this is a strategy JRPG is bound to entice some people as w


While Xenoblade Chronicles 2 could've also been included on this list, nothing beats the quality of the original Xenogears — a convenient situation, since most people should ideally start off with this title its


Unlike most other classes, Skirmishers thrive off of mobility thanks to their close weapons and grappling hook. The problem, though, is that very few levels let you utilize this skill early in the game, and with the constant restarts that come with an XCOM 2 run, this means it'll be mostly useless for a lot of your ga


Most maps will have a hacking opportunity. If players can do so safely, they should attempt to take advantage of these opportunities as they will often reward players with supplies, intel, or even combat advanta


While the Dragon Quest series had long since established itself as a great JRPG series in its own right, one has to admit that the series hadn't really taken off in the west. Dragon Quest VIII was perhaps the last game in the series that had witnessed some level of success in the West, with the fanfare of later entries being rather muted in compari


Many would consider Specialists to be lackluster, considering they have few damaging abilities to match the likes of Rangers of Sharpshooters. However, they exist to provide support for your team through healing effects and stat buffs, something that you'll almost always need despite being slightly unexcit


Most games with a lot of text based dialogue usually have the option to let scenes play out automatically. Persona 5 Strikers is a good example that does this well. This game does not have that feature meaning one has to manually skip through text boxes as conversations wrap up. It’s not a huge grievance but it would be nice to see upgra
