Target: Psion Race: Cabal Psions are the smallest of the Cabal army, yet still deadly. When engaging Cabal forces you become used to seeing and looking for large targets. The Psion use this to their advantage. Chances are you might keep your camera angle up and the Psion are always ducking, unless moving. Like Hive Acolytes and Fallen Dregs, these guys will hide behind walls and objects, peeking out to locate or shoot their target. They are mildly weak and go down in with a good shot or two from weapons. Using melee attacks are a good way to handle them up close or flanking them as they hide. Be mindful as the Psion does check his backside on a regular basis and has a nasty melee counter attack. Psions use all varieties of the Cabal weapons, minus the mini-gun the Colossus uses. They are mid formation units that try to control points of entry by bottlenecking their targets or by flanking them. They will allow Legionary and Phalanx move up to the front and will cover their approach. While busy with the front line units Psions will move to better positions and try to flank the target. In other situations they will cause a holdout bottleneck in a hallway or up on a platform. Psions differ from other support mobs by a few measures. They know when they are in trouble and will move or fall back. This is typically to a better protected spot for cover or by other mobs. If they see their target moving in on them they will move first then shoot. Some will even help cover others falling back and draw fire. If closing in on melee they are not shy using their melee counter. This is a very hard hitting attack. Elites use it frequently and can nearly one shot targets. Also elite versions of the Psions are not afraid of front line fighting. They are able to take several shots and enjoy using their melee attack to push back targets. How to handle: Psions can become an issue if you let them, just like any other small mob. Your focus on these guys should be last unless in melee range. Take care of the frontline mobs and make sure you won't become surrounded when closing in on a Psion. This counts as long as there are no elite Psions running around. If an elite is present, he should be a top priority, or at least top three. Since elites enjoy being up close, this allows you to close the gap faster, but be mindful of the melee attack they have. Elites typically shoot faster and are more accurate. As far as their melee, it is a psychic flame that shoots across the ground in front of them. Range can reach ten meters is my guess. Typical weak spots are the head and body shots have a chance to knock them off balance. Grimoire: First Tier → 300 Kills, Second Tier → 750 Kills, Third Tier → 1500 kills
