He can also send enemies into his Neural Network which, in turn, provides him with increased stats such as accuracy, critical hit chance, and aim. In this guide, we will go over some of Verge’s best builds, abilities, and general tips to help you master him in XCOM: Chimera Squad.

Verge Tips and Tricks

Thanks to his telekinesis, Verge can control the field like no other. He cannot only trick enemies into attacking their own but also whip them out of cover to let your allies freely deal damage. However, one important thing to keep in mind is that Verge is on the squishier side of the agents. Therefore, if somebody gets a jump on him, he will most likely die.

Keeping this in mind, it is a good idea to have him protected with some sort of a tank – Cherub immediately comes to mind with his kinetic shield.
