Do you thinks this is fair?

This… The always mind control your best or strongest unit. When a sniper or heavy with the HellCannon gets MC’d you are basically screwed to kill the Sciren. By the time the remainder of your team have dropped it, they are so beat up by your own soldier there is not much left.

I don’t carry pistols on missions anymore, instead I carry basic ares assault rifles with no extra ammo just to deal with mindfrages and worms. With pistol you can’t kill mindfrager in one turn and there if risk of return fire. Worms are hard to hit with pistol. Sometimes I have to fire pistol 3-4 times to hit it and with assault rifle it is usually instant kill with only 2 AP.

For the sirens you just have to disable its head and next turn it will lose control. For that you need only two sniper shots. I found that here on forum.

If you disable the Siren’s head she loses all her willlpower. Therefore, once it’s her turn to play, she loses control over your soldier since it costs 2 WP I think.
I tried it in a mission. I paralzed a Siren, but she had mincontrolled one of my soldiers. So I exploded her head and I had my soldier back for next turn.

Paralyzed siren still keeps mind control though.
