The DR Shield (to the left of a unit's HP pips) is a grey shield that will appear if a unit has any % damage resistance (%DR). It will 'fill up' based on how much % DR the unit has.
 
As well, there is often a number on the shield which represents the %DR.

== Range Indicators ==
Close Combat Specialist, Close Encounters, Stun Rifle, Repair, Medikits, and Lone Wolf all have range indicators that appears as circles around either the unit or the targets of the ability. The range indicators may be centered on potential targets (e.g. Close Encounters) or the unit itself (e.g. Lone Wolf).
== Eyes ==
[[File:Eyeindicator.png]]
=== Small Eye ===
This eye might appear directly above units.
Each unit (both friendly and enemy) that can see the location of the cursor will be indicated by with a '''small green eye'''. This allows you to determine which units would be in vision after moving to the location of the cursor.
Above the small green eye will be a number which represents the number of tiles away each unit is from the position of the cursor.
If the cursor is in a position that the currently selected unit moved to and would flank a unit, there will be an "F" beside the number of tiles above the small eye.
The small green eye will turn into a red eye if only a unit with the squadsight perk would be able to see the unit from the location of the cursor.
=== Large Eye ===
This eye might appear above the cover shield of a unit.
Aliens will have a red eye icon if they are on overwatch.
For XCOM this eye will be teal if they are on overwatch.

== DR/Def Shield ==


'''The Active Unit:'''
The DR Shield (to the left of a unit's HP pips) is a grey shield. It will 'fill up' based on how much Defense the unit has and the number on the shield is how much % DR (Damage Reduction) the unit has.
Half filled grey shield: approximately 50% DR


No grey HP pips: ~0 base DR
So a unit with an ~70% full shield has ~70 defense and a unit with the number 52 on the shield has 52% DR.
8 green HP pips: turn is active, no combat readiness, 8 base HP
3 white HP pips: 3 armor HP


Full teal cover shield: full cover (50 def, 50% DR)
[[File:DRDefShield.png]]
No target icon on cover shield: no unit can currently fire a reaction shot at this unit where it is


2 teal AP pips (rectangular arrows): This unit is an ordinary unit, is not enraged, and has 2 action points remaining
== Eyes ==


Overall non-translucent appearance: This unit is currently selected
[[File:Eyeindicator.png]]


=== Small Eye (Vision) ===


[[File:Indicator.png]]
This eye might appear directly above units.


'''The Ally:'''
Each unit (both friendly and enemy) that can see the location of the cursor will be indicated by with a '''small green eye'''. This allows you to determine which units would be in vision after moving to the location of the cursor.
30% filled grey shield: approximately 30% DR


No grey HP pips: ~0 base DR
Above the small green eye will be a number which represents the number of tiles away each unit is from the position of the cursor.
11 green HP pips: turn is active, no combat readiness, 11 base HP
3 white HP pips: 3 armor HP


Half teal cover shield: half cover (30 def, 30% DR)
If the cursor is in a position that the currently selected unit moved to and would flank a unit, there will be an "F" beside the number of tiles above the small eye.
Target icon on cover shield: a unit can currently fire a reaction shot at this unit if it acts or moves


2 teal AP pips (rectangular arrows): This unit is an ordinary unit, is not enraged, and has 2 action points remaining
The small green eye will turn into a red eye if only a unit with the squadsight perk would be able to see the unit from the location of the cursor.


Small green eye above unit: this unit can be seen from the current cursor's position
=== Large Eye (Overwatch) ===
3 above small green eye: this unit is 3 tile from the current cursor's position


Overall translucent appearance: This unit is not currently selected
This eye might appear above the cover shield of a unit.


[[File:Indicator.png]]
Aliens will have a red eye icon if they are on overwatch.


'''The Outsider:'''
For XCOM this eye will be teal if they are on overwatch.
30% filled grey shield: approximately 30% DR

In General

Various indicators occur in Long War Rebalanced to help a player understand some of the underlying mechanics of the tactical gameplay.

F1 Panel

In this panel you will see various attributes on the unit you are selecting as described here:

You can select an enemy by aiming at them and then pressing F1, or one of your units by selecting them and pressing F1.

Below the attributes listed you will see various information on current perks, quirks, bonuses, and maluses that are effecting the unit.

Targets in Sight

The HUD icons for aliens in sight will now reveal who is overwatching the unit you have selected by displaying a target icon beside their alien head in the bottom right.

Alien Head Appearance Status
Yellow (Priority) Flanked Enemy
Red Landed Biologic
Blue Flying Biologic
Grey Landed Mechanical
Bluish Grey Flying Mechanical
Tall Head Alien Leader
Somewhat Transparent Squadsight (w Spotter)
Very Transparent Squadsight (w/o Spotter)

HUD Ability Icons

Ability icons on the Ability HUD in the tactical game will have different colors based on how many APs they consume upon use. They can be teal (2 AP), green (1 AP), purple (0 AP), faded out (out of ammo or charges), red (no use during XCOM scamper), and yellow (boosted).

HUD Ability Color Effect
Teal 2 AP
Green 1 AP possible
Purple 0 AP possible
Faded Out Out of Ammo/Charges or Cooling Down
Red XCOM Scamper (Unavailable)
Yellow Boosted

In the above example this soldier has the following abilities: Standard Shot (1 AP), Overwatch (Boosted), Alien Grenade (2 AP - 1 Charge), and Flight Mode (0 AP).

HP and Action Point Indicators

The Armor HP color of XCOM units is always white and the Base HP color of XCOM units are always colored:

XCOM Base HP Color Status
Green Turn Available
Pink Turn Complete
Grey Base Damage Resistance in multiples of 20
Black Hunkered Down

The Armor HP color of alien units is also always white and the Base HP color of alien units are always colored, but differ from XCOM:

Alien Base HP Color Status
Red Base HP
Purple Base HP of Leader Alien
Gold Base HP of Champion Alien
Grey Base Damage Resistance in multiples of 20
Black Hunkered Down

The Action Point (AP) indicators on XCOM characters are the 2 rectangular arrows below your soldier's HP. They do not appear on aliens.

AP Indicator Color Status
Orange (Priority) Danger of Triggering Reaction Fire
White (Priority) XCOM Scamper
Red (Priority) Enraged
Teal Regular Unit
Grey Robotic Unit
Green Genetically Modified Unit
Purple Psionic Unit
Yellow Officer Unit

Cover Shield

The cover shield (to the right of unit's HP pips) will vary between full (full cover), half filled (partial cover), and empty (no cover). It will also vary between teal (XCOM no flank), red (enemy no flank), and yellow (flanked).

Shield Type Cover Status
Full Full Cover (+50 Defense, +50% DR)
Half Full Partial Cover (+30 Defense, +30% DR)
Flying (+30 Defense)
Absent No Cover
Shield Color Cover Status
Teal XCOM Not Flanked
Red Enemy Not Flanked
Yellow Flanked

DR/Def Shield

The DR Shield (to the left of a unit's HP pips) is a grey shield. It will 'fill up' based on how much Defense the unit has and the number on the shield is how much % DR (Damage Reduction) the unit has.

So a unit with an ~70% full shield has ~70 defense and a unit with the number 52 on the shield has 52% DR.

Eyes

Small Eye (Vision)

This eye might appear directly above units.

Each unit (both friendly and enemy) that can see the location of the cursor will be indicated by with a small green eye. This allows you to determine which units would be in vision after moving to the location of the cursor.

Above the small green eye will be a number which represents the number of tiles away each unit is from the position of the cursor.

If the cursor is in a position that the currently selected unit moved to and would flank a unit, there will be an "F" beside the number of tiles above the small eye.

The small green eye will turn into a red eye if only a unit with the squadsight perk would be able to see the unit from the location of the cursor.

Large Eye (Overwatch)

This eye might appear above the cover shield of a unit.

Aliens will have a red eye icon if they are on overwatch.

For XCOM this eye will be teal if they are on overwatch.

Range Indicators

Close Encounters, Close Combat Specialist/Pistolero (on enemies), Lone Wolf, Repair, Medikit and Stun Rifle all have range indicators that appears as circles around either the unit or the targets of the ability. The range indicators may be centered on potential targets (e.g. Close Encounters) or the unit itself (e.g. Lone Wolf).
