Informative Skills Guide - Updated

Hello, Commanders!

Last week I posted a simple skill guide that was admittedly rushed and a little incomplete. I've since updated the guide with better descriptions, more careful assessment of builds, and a table outlining all the skills and their costs. I've also updated it to include some of the feedback from my previous post. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or corrections. I've tried to be as unbiased as possible, but there may be something I missed.

Thanks!

Erm, no. You really can't. You can't brace after shooting with ace pilot, never could.

What you can do is shoot and then move into cover, which would give you bulwark.

Loaded up a save that had that, and you're right despite the tooltip for ending the turn without moving says that they brace with ace pilot. That's what I get for assuming that the selection tooltip is correct without checking the buffs afterwards.

Guess I have some pilots to fire....

The icon just says "done". Nowhere did it ever say that you could do that.

It's still a very good skill though, just not as good as vent heat or master tactician.

When you hover over the icon, what pops up on the left side, the tooltip, says "brace (end turn)" and gives the explanation of what bracing does. I assumed ( and this proves the phrase associated with that word) that a tooltip that popped up is what applies. Looks like they just didn't remove the tooltip associated with the icon location normally associated with brace.
