High settings with FXAA. FPS on the y axis, time in seconds on the x axis.

How far in are you guys? My avatar countdown meter reached the final mark and I only had 24 hours to fix the situation. Now I’m down to 9 again and I’m progressing with the story. If it wasn’t for a stroke of luck it would have been an incredibly challenging story mission. First I managed to instakill/execute a Sectopod with overwatch and then I hacked my way into one of those red robotic enemies. The units that are left can’t deal with its heavy armor.

Whew, beating that mission wasn’t easy but at least I got a generous reward. Avatar progress dropped by 5!

#52

I think I’m on the final mission.

#53

What I assume is the final boss is definitely no joke. I’m pretty sure I will have to go back to a previous save because the computer is throwing more enemies at me than I can keep up with. Fortunately it seems like they spawn from predictable locations, so if I position my soldiers correctly then I will be more successful.

For my next run I need to be more careful with how I spend my resources. This time I didn’t spend much thought into the build order of facilities or how I prioritized research.

#54

Woo! Finally beat it. The final boss fight wasn’t fun.

Yeah I don’t think I can be bothered to beat that fight. Disappointing end to an otherwise great game.

#57

The key to success in my case was using the Mind Control and Hack abilities to recruit more soldiers to my side. I also got lucky with the first two Avatars. Apparently, they generate 5 health points per turn and I was lucky enough to kill each with a single turn. The last Avatar was hit by shrapnel and fled outside the boss area.

#58

I started a new run on Commander difficulty. My plan is to first build a Advanced Warfare Center for bonus abilities as early as possible, and then a Psi Lab so I can have at more mind controllers with me on the final mission. Last time I built the Psi Lab so late that I never got around to using any of my psionics.
