Rushing the Meld canisters can be risky, one strategy is to get in sight of the Meld canister and then wait and see what kind of sound it's making. Mechtoid and Floater/Heavy Floater corpses also provide higher fractional Meld amounts. In addition to Meld canisters, Meld is gained at an automatic rate of 0.4 alien corpse brought home from a mission (rounded down). Meld becomes increasingly necessary in the late game.
Also, the better you are doing, the less Meld you receive, so don't worry about missing it. If not, don't waste a soldiers well-being on it. If it's in a good place to grab, then go for it by all means. It is not worth potentially losing valuable soldiers to recover Meld. It also lets you get out of deadlock situations where you are in a prolonged fire fight with alien opposition, without any opportunity to move forward. This is useful because it lets you breach buildings and other structures much more efficiently and sets you up for more flanking maneuvers. When you have both your squad upgrades, you can split your squad into fire teams of four people. Usually it is never a good idea to split your team into two, but on urban maps, there is some merit in doing this. Make one a Lieutenant with Stay Frosty, and you have a nice buffer for the expanded recovery mechanics of Long War. They now also have an ability called Field Surgeon that has a 75% chance (100% if you field 2 Medics with it) of reducing non-critically wounded injury recovery time. They may lack the killing power of the other classes, but when you get poisoned by a Thin Man or strangled by a Seeker, you'll be glad that you have them with you. Study the alien database well: the expanded abilities displayed by the aliens can catch even a veteran vanilla player unaware, such as Berserkers being able to jump from the get-go, or Thin Men squad leaders getting Squadsight.Ī Medic is one of the most useful classes to have around, they can keep your soldiers healthy during battle and they increase the survivability of friendly (and enemy) soldiers with their Smoke Grenades.
Opportunists with any multi-overwatch shot abilities would be good for Chryssalid and Zombie infested missions, and so on. Or soldiers that get Low Profile should be marked for Psionic Training. For example, someone with high move and Packmaster (+1 use to all items) would be good to give an Arc Thrower. Particularly with Training Roulette on, keep an eye out for any good ability combinations, and make note of who has them.
