ADVENT Stun Lancer (LWOTC)

Although the ADVENT Stun Lancer was initially developed by ADVENT to serve as less then lethal crowd control, that has changed. In the face of the increasing XCOM threat, these soldiers have been re-tasked as brutal, close-quarters melee fighters.

Their high mobility, dangerous charge and the ability to stun or knock soldiers unconscious makes them an important unit to lock down. Stun Lances have an innate +10 Aim bonus, and their stun effect is dependant on a stat check, the Stun Lancer's Strength vs the Target's Will.

Tips

Stun Lancers are very aggressive units and will always attempt to close in in order to attack. Combined with their stun lance, they are able to perform a dash melee attack that is fairly accurate in order to do damage and a chance to inflict negative mental effects. This makes their lance very dangerous and best to disable or avoid it in some way such as being outside their movement range or disorienting them.
Stun Lancers can be somewhat unpredictable with their targeting but they will tend to target relatively healthy targets. Do not rely on this if you are trying to bait attacks onto a more desirable target as they are still fairly unpredictable.
