	* Warlock~~'s Greatest Champion will usually~~ be ~~used on a target viable for skulljacking~~, ~~so it~~'s recommended to ~~bring one along~~.		* The Warlock is very unique to the other Chosen and are not very direct with their approach against XCOM but that does not mean they should be underestimated. While the Warlock themselves may not be dangerous, they are the most dangerous when in the presence of other allies that they can greatly empower while disrupting XCOM's ability to fight back. Thus it is recommended to attempt to deal with other groups of enemies before targeting the Warlock to limit the reach of their support.
	** Barring that, the ~~Psi Troopers' Soulfire attack~~ is ~~also very useful here, since it bypasses~~ the ~~ablative hit points bestowed~~ on the ~~target~~.		* The Warlock's ability to designate a champion is the core to their strength, granting them large stat bonuses while also reducing the damage taken. It is best to disable the champion or eliminate them quickly to remove the threat and to remove the damage reduction on the Warlock.
			* It is a bit difficult to approach the Warlock at close range due to their [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Close Combat Specialist\|Close Combat Specialist]] and grazing fire which makes their shots very likely to land some amount of damage and bypass lightning reflexes. The best way to get around this are ways to ignore reaction fire such as [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Shadowstep\|Shadowstep]] or to disable it such as [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Suppression\|Suppression]].

	* ~~By far~~ the ~~most irritating thing about him~~ is ~~his~~ Ready For Anything ~~ability,~~ which is ~~exacerbated by his very long sight~~ range and ~~exceedingly~~ high ~~aim and damage~~. ~~Thus it~~ is ~~highly recommended~~ to ~~bring soldiers~~ with ~~abilities that nullify~~ or ~~bypass overwatch,~~ such as ~~Interference, Combat Protocol,~~ Lightning Reflexes, Shadowstep, ~~or Phasewalk~~.		* The most threatening ability of the Hunter is [[Perk_List_(LWOTC)#Ready For Anything\|Ready For Anything]] which grants them an overwatch shot after firing their sniper. This is further emphasized with their extreme vision range and high accuracy. It is best to have solutions that can deal with overwatch at range or ignore them such as [[Perk_List_(LWOTC)#Lightning Reflexes\|Lightning Reflexes]] or [[Perk_List_(LWOTC)#Shadowstep\|Shadowstep]].
			* With the Hunter's extreme vision range, it is best to take advantage of the environment to limit the targets they can reach and possibly avoid some attacks.

Thus it is recommended to mainly bring soldiers decently capable of attacking her from outside her movement range.
	** If, however, she is not adjacent to a valid slash target during her turn or action, she will use it to move ~~towards the closest such~~ target~~; thus~~ it is ~~advisable~~ to ~~dust off the "Berserker pong" strategies you used in~~ the ~~first game~~.		** If, however, she is not adjacent to a valid slash target during her turn or action, she will use her actions in order to move closer to a target. With this, it is best to make sure units that are close by still have actions remaining to run away if she does get close to limit the amount of attacks.
	* ~~She has~~ both ~~Bladestorm ''and''~~ Close Combat Specialist (~~which will trigger even when she~~ is ~~targeted by ''someone else's'' CCS), so Assaults an Shinobis are~~ not ~~recommended~~.		* The assassin can gain both [[Perk_List_(LWOTC)#Close Combat Specialist\|Close Combat Specialist]] and [[Perk_List_(LWOTC)#Bladestorm\|Bladestorm]] thus it is best to fight at range or have ways to ignore reaction attacks. Lightning reflexes is not sufficient as she will always guarantee a hit with her katana and the shotgun at close range will still have a chance to hit.
