Psi Inspiration is an ability that can be used by the Psionic Class in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Removes Mindfray and panic from all allies within 3 tiles, and strengthen their Will by +30 for 3 turns. 4 turn cooldown.

– In-Game Description, XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Notes[]

  • Psi Inspiration is especially useful in fights against either Sectoid Commanders or Ethereals, as both of these enemy types will likely attempt to Mind Control squad members.
  • Psi Inspiration increases the success rate of Mindfray, Psi Panic and Mind Control by 30%; each point of Will increase the success rate by 1%. This in particular is an aid for obtaining the "Xavier" achievement, in which a soldier must successfully Mind Control an Ethereal; a feat which is nearly impossible when using Mind Control on its own.
  • Has no effect on robotic units, including S.H.I.V.s.
  • The soldier that cast Psi Inspiration also receives the +30 Will boost.
