	While the Chosen can be slain in battle, they will ~~continually revive~~ and continue their efforts to recapture the Commander until XCOM can find and attack the strongholds which hold the equipment that lets them come back from the dead; this is accomplished through a chain of Covert Actions. Successfully assaulting a Chosen's stronghold to kill them for good will allow XCOM to use that Chosen's weapons, which possess an extra upgrade slot, are fully upgraded, and possess unique secondary abilities that make them superior to other weapons of their type.

Successfully assaulting a Chosen's stronghold to kill them for good will allow XCOM to use that Chosen's weapons, which possess an extra upgrade slot, are fully upgraded, and possess unique secondary abilities that make them superior to other weapons of their type. However, a stronghold assault cannot be attempted again if it fails.

			*Soldiers that are gravely injured have a chance to acquire negative traits. These traits can cause them to panic under certain circumstances or perform unwanted actions at inconvenient times (e.g. firing directly at an enemy when instructed to go on Overwatch, or reloading whenever their ammo isn't at maximum after a move action).
			*Panic is now called Battle Madness and manifests in one of four forms:
			**The original form of Panic remains as is, with the victim performing entirely random actions.
			**Shattered causes the victim to only perform defensive actions, such as Hunker Down.
			**Berserk forces the victim to perform offensive actions, albeit with boosted attack power.
			**Obsessed only appears in soldiers with negative traits pertaining to fear of a specific enemy type, and forces them to perform offensive actions directed at their feared enemy.
			*Will is reworked to act as a fatigue system. Soldiers lose Will over time when in battle and need to rest in between battles to recover it; while they can still be deployed as long as their Will is above 33% of its maximum, they are more likely to develop Battle Madness and are at greater risk of developing negative traits.

	While each of them is dangerous in battle and can show up on normal missions without warning, their true threat comes from their ability to Daze soldiers. Dazed soldiers are unable to act and can be interrogated or even kidnapped by the Chosen so they can gather enough information about XCOM to assault the Avenger.

When they get close enough to see him, he will attack them with rifle shots and his pistol, and will also try to Daze them with either a long-range attack or a grenade. He also carries a grappling hook to help him reposition.		The Hunter prefers to keep a long distance from XCOM, using his Tracking Shot to pick off soldiers from the opposite side of the map.

	The Warlock is second only to the Elders themselves in terms of psionic potential; as the Chosen are all immune to mental impairment effects, this makes him especially dangerous.

Among his abilities are a chain daze, teleporting allies, mind controlling multiple soldiers at once, and summoning spectral entities to fight for him.
