Psi Operative (XCOM2)

Nonnon: Add Stat Progression.

The '''Psi Operative''' utilizes their mental abilities to great effect to boost their allies and ''mess up their enemies{{Verify}}''.

Psionic Operatives level up by training in the [[Psi Lab (XCOM2)|Psi Lab]], not from battlefield experience. Operatives in training can still go on missions; barring wounds, they will resume training after the mission.

:'''Primary Weapon''': Assault Rifle
:'''Secondary Weapon''': Psionic Amplifier

The '''Psi''' stat is unique for Psi Operatives and is used to calculate their success chance with psionic attacks. The '''Will''' stat is used for psionic defense.

__TOC__

==== Abilities ====

Each training attempt allows a choice between three randomly selected abilities. It is possible to gain early access to abilities far down the tree. (Training time and/or cost increases in this case? {{Verify}}) Psionic Operatives are capable of learning all of the available psionic abilities, although this would requires considerable time and resources.
