whoever gets to be templar is honestly lucky because templars are by far the best unit in the game
that's not how you spell skirmisher
yeah sorry to break it to you but templars are the strongest class according to all xcom pros. skirmisher can't deal 15 damage in one hit and then block the next incoming attack, forcing the attack to rebound on the alien that used it dealing another 7 damage, and then next turn deal a total of 50 damage as they unleash an ionic storm which has a 10 square radius and deals 15 damage to each enemy inside it
