Mind Controlled aliens should be kept a fair distance from a player's soldiers, so they won't cause too much trouble when they break free again.
They can also Bull Rush aliens in cover to expose them, so the soldiers may move in to finish off the uncovered unit. Muton Berserkers are also valuable if tougher targets for Mind Control, as they are quite capable of defeating the other Mutons that normally accompany them while absorbing significant damage.Additionally, they carry Alien Grenades, and can effectively be used as suicide bombers in order to weaken/kill themselves before Mind Control expires. Mutons, Heavy Floaters and Muton Elites make good targets for Mind Control, as they have low Will and can do considerable damage against their comrades.Use Mind Controlled aliens to scout ahead, allowing them to draw fire from other aliens.Fleeing is also viable tactic when dealing with a Mind Controlled soldier.Killing the Mind Controlled soldier is an option but will result in that unit's permanent death unless they have the Secondary Heart gene mod.All methods can also be countered by grenades, provided that a soldier has one, and rockets for a heavy.) (Suppressed soldiers can still hit lucky shots, and if they move you end up shooting your own soldier as well as risking a shot from them. Using a Sniper's Disabling Shot, a Heavy's Suppression, or a Support's Rifle Suppression on a Mind Controlled soldier can give players extra time to deal with the Sectoid Commander or Ethereal threat.The safest and quickest method is to kill or stun the Mind Controller.There are a number of ways to neutralize a Mind Controlled soldier: When the turns elapse or the Mind Controller in question is killed, any Mind Controlled unit will return back to the original owner's control.Ī soldier that becomes Mind Controlled by a Sectoid Commander or an Ethereal will retain all abilities they had before being possessed and should be considered a severe threat to the remaining squad members in the field. The first "turn" is counted when the Mind Control takes place and the enemy unit isn't allowed to act, making for only three actual turns in which the Mind Controller can make the enemy unit perform actions. If successfully initiated, Mind Control allows the psionic unit to gain temporary control of non- robotic enemies for four turns. Towards the end of the game, consider putting on Mind Shields and Psi Armor to increase your soldier's psionic defense and offense. So the lower the target's Will (or the higher your unit's), the higher the chance will be to successfully control the target. Mind Control's success rate is, like all psi powers, only reliant on the Will of the target and the psionic, and completely ignores physical cover, distance, and elevation, provided that Line of Sight is maintained.
