Brainrot has taken hold
Well, it's been a hot minute since I last posted here. In the time between now and my last post, I have become obsessed with XCOM, particularly Chimera Squad and all the juicy info it gave us on the aliens. Hell, I even went and got every achievement in the game. In the process of playing through the games, I have grown particularly fond of the vipers because they are Very Gender. (Also, Torque is the best character in Chimera Squad, I will fight anyone who says otherwise.) My brainrot managed to reach critical mass unlike any of my previous brainrots. I've been writing a fanfic set in the XCOM universe, which is unlike anything I've ever done. Fan content is something I usually consume, not create! But here I am, writing despite how unusual it is for me. On the off chance anyone reading this has any interest in the fanfic, here's a link to it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52199773/chapters/132035278

XCOM: Chimera Squad is a half-baked game that is thoroughly copaganda, but it also has a hot snake lady in it so it's impossible to say if it's bad or good.

it is an ironic turn of things that xcom, the series that has been the hallmark for HFY stuff, has made new strides and evolution into becoming one of the biggest "aliens are actually legit and humans should not think themselves as better than them and actually work together".
with chimera squad showing humanity starts to help free the aliens and live alongside them showing the true villains aren't aliens but a top class that pins everyone against each other so they don't rise up and topple them and they can continue exploiting for their own benefit in stealing DNA, lands, and changing others against their will.
hell, they even got the point in showing humans to be horny for aliens as well instead of the usual "kill all xenos" that most sci-fi writers go for. showing that aliens are people too.
when you compare to halo who try to do the "the only way to survive and succeed is together and to believe one race is superior is corruptive and horrible" yet they still have humanity being space GI JOE and are treated as the best race ever despite all the horrific shit they do.

Hunter in Chimera Squad (3)
⚠️WARNING
It's just an idea of alternating reality
About his behavior in the game.
Hunter has a fake identity in Shrink, and works as a free bounty hunter at the same time.
By the way, he really doesn’t care about what does Shrink aims to do. The only thing he cares about is the working ( to be honest killing) opportunities that Shrink can offer him.
Tumblr media
Player can find him in a special investigation mission . At that time, Whisper will enlighten the player that he might be a senior agent of Shrike.
“Capture him! Or we won’t have another chance!”
“He must know something about Nightingale’s death as one of central agents of Shrike.”
Of course you won’t catch him. He will escape at the last, and offer you a business card.
“Graaa! !You people really scared me. I thought you are the 31PD at the first time.”
“Has You XCOM become a kindergarten nowadays? It will become a great joke to mock him.”
“To be honest, whether you people believe it or not, I have a contract with someone to stay away from political assassination. So…”
“Here’s the business card ~ I’ll give you a family discount, don’t worry.”
Tumblr media
After that, you may encounter him in your base occasionally as an employable character with an extremely high cost, or in a random battle as a formidable enemy.
(*He’s a real bastard who will ask for the resources that you most need.)
Hunter must appear in each BOSS FIGHT , which means the player must defeat both Hunter and the boss.
Tumblr media
Hunter has a slack debuff when as ally, and two elementary armor when as enemy because of his Shrike suit.
When he acts as Chimera Squad’s ally, he will dress in only his casual clothes without any armor.(Because I really like to see him dressed like a college student, and his carefree attitude towards the danger.)
There’s a psionic bar under his health, because most of his abilities require it, and his psionic power is limited “borrowed” from...SOMEONE.
Plus, hunter will Evac instead of Dead when his health is empty, and he will leave a Smoke Grenade before leaving.
“Ouch!!! Have you ever received any education in tactics?! Or you’re intentionally?”
“This won’t get refund. And your strategies are also boring me. ”
“You XCOM still have some good old styles, while I admit I have made a mistake.”
“Ohhh~ I have waited for this for five years , Looking forward to see you next time, XCOM.”
“Closing time~ Help yourself~”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The sign lights on his mask is a reform of Hunter’s sign in XCOM2. And the laughing face is painted by himself with a fluorescent paint.
New Abilities and New Debuffs
Tumblr media
• Common abilities
Hunter has four basic skills as a sniper: Fire and Overwatch (by both Darklance and pistol), Grapple, and Squad View
*There’s a decline in aim and crit in short range with the Darklance, but the pistol is on the contrary.
Tumblr media
Tracking shot: Before the Hunter engage in the battle, he will aim at three target at the first from out of the map, and shot them in their next turn. Give the target a (medical) bleeding debuff when hit. You’d better find a good cover. (No need for psionic)
*“In case someone needs to hang a picture on their forehead, I’m passionate about helping to make a hole.”
Tumblr media
Tranq shot: Tranquilize one target with the pistol in two turns. Hit rate affected by the range. Three turns cooldown.(Need a few psionic)
Tumblr media
Shared squad view: Give the whole squad a one-turn squad sight. Has tree turns cooldown. (Need a lot of psionic)
Tumblr media
Darklance reload: Darklance has a permanent free reload, and shot without ending your turn.(No need for psionic)
•Ally abilities
Tumblr media
Blood sacrifice: Put a few of psionic power in a bullet, which will make the target bleeding when it is hit. One turn cooldown. Player can choose to shot immediately or reserve it, until each of your bullet is changed in to a psionic bullets. However, Darklance will prioritize using psionic bullets.(Need a few psionic)
*Hunter’s pistol is not the Darkclaw anymore, so it can’t use the bleeding bullets.
*Psionic bullets well disappear after reloading.
"Ops.."
Tumblr media
Limna’s touch: One use per mission. Consume almost all psionic energy to build an area around the Hunter, which can bring him an ability to shot any enemy into this area ignoring the cover. This area will exist eternally before Hunter moves. And of course you can chose to use your bleeding bullets with a shot range accuracy penalty.(Need a huge amount of psionic)
* "Eliminate all the hu… enemies ! "
•Enemy’s abilities
Tumblr media
Torture: Use the Darklance to shot at one agent. Cause a “medical bleeding” debuff when hit it. Give Hunter a recovery when the bleeding agent get damage.(Need a little bit psionic)
*May shot his ally if has a urgent need of recovery.
* "Nurse is coming~ is there anyone needs nursing care? "
Tumblr media
Asaru’s lance: One use per mission after it taking a damage, or it will has a three turn cooldown. Aim at one target with the Darklance, and shot in next turn. Ignore the cover ,and make a huge damage. You’d better find a good solution.
*"Cloth your eyes and count to seven."
•Debuffs
Medical bleeding: Three turns. Agents’ bleeding debuff is different from enemies’. It will take a damage when the bleeding unit is being treated instead of a sustained damage.(But can be dispeled by Second Wind)
Bleeding: Target will inflicts a little damage in each three turn, and get damage while they move.
*" You really paint well. Have you considered becoming a artist? Oh... sorry, you are gonna die."
*Targets may have chance to become panic when they are bleeding, no matter agents or enemy.
Slack: Only ally Hunter's debuff. Hunter will get a "Slack" when he engaging a battle as XCOM's ally, untill an agent is getting Bleeding out, or killed an enemy by his own hands. Decline his hit and crit rate.
*"How could you XCOM always cheer up by facing such a group of cowards."
•Specialities
Psionic thirst: Recover psionic power when any unit using a psionic skill.
Bloodhound: Each bleeding unit can increase the chance of dodging.
*"Uh...shuch a familiar smell."
Contract: Hunter will stable the agents who are Bleeding Out, when in a really dangerous situation. No matter which camp he is in.
*“(Tut(Tut(Tut…You are abandoned by your hypocritical friends. What a pathetic~”
“Someone will get angry if you were dead.”
*Hunter will shot your agent as a very low hit rate when the player spends to much time on thinking. No matter which camp he is in.
“Take your time. Let’s make this game more challenging.”
“One two three ~ counting sheep~who is the next?”

I also recently finished playing XCOM: Chimera Squad and now I am going to talk about what I do and do not like about it. Remember, there will be spoilers.
What I Liked:
Contrary to what some people have said, I personally like the less serious tone of this game.
I was super happy that this game doesn’t have any of the monotonous and boring base building that XCOM 2 has.
The missions are fun and are shorter than missions in XCOM 2 were.
What I Don’t Like:
The soldier and weapon customization are severely limited in comparison to XCOM 2.
As much as I like the less serious tone, the jokes between characters don’t always land.
You can’t use the robots in your squad as anything but extra, in case someone in the squad goes down.
You can’t have more than four people in a squad.
This game also suffers from the lack of mission variety that XCOM 2 suffers from.
This game also suffers from a countdown timer that also adds unnecessary stress like XCOM 2 does.
Overall, like XCOM 2, I did enjoy my time in this game but due to the lack of variety, I just don’t myself replaying this one over and over.
