Description:

Overwatch Exclusions
The following instant-movement abilities no longer draw Overwatch fire:

• Grapple
• Wrath
• Tongue Pull
• Icarus Jump

Suppression
Both XCOM and the aliens suffer a -50 aim penalty from being suppressed.
It was previously -35 aim for XCOM and -50 aim for the aliens.

ADVENT Priest Changes
The Priest’s Stasis no longer ends the turn, making it equivalent to XCOM’s version.
Holy Warrior will also no longer be removed when an ADVENT Priest is put into Stasis.
As a result, you’ll be still be able to kill both linked units after Sustain ends on a Holy Warrior Priest.

Fortress: Frost Immunity
Fortress and Bastion now provide immunity to frost damage, preventing the unit from being frozen.

Flamethrower Damage
The Purifier’s Flamethrower and the Cryo Priest’s Cryolator now deal 1-3 damage with 1 crit.
This makes it fairer in comparison to XCOM’s damage-dealing Flamethrower.

Damage Type Swap
Blazing Pinions, Devastate, and the Blaster Launcher now all deal explosive damage.
The Sectopod’s Wrath Cannon also now deals projectile damage instead of explosive damage.

Equivalent Damage Output
The Viper King’s Bolt Caster now deals as much damage as XCOM’s Bolt Caster.
The Avatar also now deals as much damage with psionic attacks as the Commander’s Avatar.

Bolt Caster Bonuses
The Viper King’s Bolt Caster and the Neonate Viper’s Bolt Caster now grant the shooter +15 aim, +20 stun chance, and cannot be dodged, just like XCOM’s Bolt Caster.

Robotic XCOM Units
The SPARK and XCOM Turret now have an actual tech defense and hack rewards.
This leaves them vulnerable to hacking abilities (although ADVENT has none).

This mod works both mid-campaign and mid-tactical.
