Sectopods are heavily armored robotic units with devastating firepower. They possess multiple armor pips and can fire powerful cannon blasts or deploy an area-of-effect attack. Their high HP and armor make them resilient. Prioritize shredding their armor and using abilities that deal guaranteed damage or bypass armor.
Strategy:
- Shred Armor: Use Grenadiers with Shredder or Volatile Mix.
- Hack: Specialists can attempt to hack them for control or stun.
- Focus Fire: Concentrate all available firepower once armor is shredded.
- Explosives: Rockets and grenades deal reliable damage and destroy cover.
- Combat Protocol: Specialist's guaranteed damage is effective.
