Game gets way to difficult for me, what am I missing?

Thanks for reading

I have to update it to include all the changes in the last patch and to make a few corrections. Also, there is another chapter that is on a different thread (also pending update)

Classes and skills (part of the Comprehensive Guide)

This will be included in the Comprehensive Guide for playing Phoenix Point, once I reorganize the whole thing in some sensible way I had to break this down into two posts because I exceeded the character limit… I play on Legend with the following self-restrictions: no skills can be used more than once per turn per soldier, and squad wide skills like Rally the Troops and Electric Reinforcement only once per turn per squad, Adrenaline Rush can’t be cast after Rapid Clearance the Speed attribut…

It would be cool in the difficulty screen if you could just disable DDA or at least tune it

The DDA will probably be replaced by the Pandoran Research at some point, which, at least conceptually, looks really cool.

The DDA has been much maligned because it completely missed the mark with perfectionists and because it’s really hard for the players to actually know what is happening and why, so IMO it also became a scapegoat of sorts for the crazy stuff RNG throws on the map from time to time.

@etermes

I don’t understand DDA, as you can see

Yeah, you missed the great DDA Debates in January

That’s where my understanding of it, such as it is, comes from.
