Can`t target enemies in the mist

Phoenix Point Bug Discussion

Before Cthulhu: If you stood next to enemies in the mist, you unrevealed them to attack them.
In Cthulhu: That is impossible.

So no strategy is possible against those enemies.

I think this is intended, mist should protect the pandorans. But Iā€™m not sure if it is wanted that they are completely invisible.

The solution I use for this ā€˜problemā€™ is pretty simple:

  • Grenades
  • Mist repeller modules as I have access to them

Yeah, but for this you need urgently Synedrion technology.

Yep, and before you have this: Grenades, Grenades, Grenades.
My building list at the beginning is always full of Grenades.

I also simply shoot on the red marker and mostly hit what ever there is.

Actually the way Louis said it it feels like this is more bug-like than anything else. Mist is a sight blocker for humans but the only other time I ever saw a sight blocker prevent adjacent units from seeing eachother was when one of them wound up inside the terrain.

Was it a Triton that cast Pain Chameleon after you hit it and went into the mist?

Sorry, don`t know, what you mean. It was a Triton casting mist.

Before and after Cthulhu you can usually spot enemies in the mist by standing next to them.

The one exception I know of (and it existed before Cthulhu) is when there is mist (whatever the source), and a Triton with the Pain Chameleon ability gets hit (you know, some Tritons when you hit them disappear and walk away somewhere, and you canā€™t see them until next turn) and disappears walking into the mist.

Thatā€™s why Iā€™m asking, if itā€™s that or something else.

The other possibility is if itā€™s a Triton with high stealth (some have up to 40% and your soldier had low perception).

Ah, ok, understood.
Now the Triton just started his mist, he wasn`t hit by me. Next round I walked next to him, but there only remained the ā€œlocatedā€ marker.

Tonight on 2 different missions I had Tritons cast mist. In the first one, the Triton remained visible in the mist even after casting it. The second time it moved and disappeared, but when next turn I approached the location marker (red ping) with a soldier the Triton was visible again.
