	Because of their high intelligence, (capacity to remember your troop locations) and covered sniping tendencies, Sectoids should ideally never be fought at night. Explosives should be used to remove buildings which they can use as cover. Use of rockets or explosives against a single Sectoid also should not necessarily be considered a waste, because although they have low health, they present a small target which can be difficult for rookies with non-explosive weapons to hit. Use of rockets means that the Sectoid is likely to be killed within the blast radius, so a direct hit is not necessary.
