1. Heat management. I know unspent MP helps rebuild heat tolerance. I've read AP unspent does too, but can't seem to find it explained like the MP equation. 2. Kill count. Do enemy that die from non-Templar attacks count? For instance, when crushed by a gate, or those that automatically pop, like outside Tundeer, or at the end of a level?

1. Just MP 2. Direct kills only 1. By not using AP though I don't increase heat... Like not having a soldier engage OW, or the Capt. using buffs. So are you saying it won't help heat drop? And am I correct in not using those AP to keep heat from rising at the very least? 2. Sentry turrets or Napalm fields killing Xeno included? Thanks!

1. I think it would be accurate to say spending AP generally increases Heat, so by the inverse law not spending AP does reduce heat.
2. Direct kills only.

Since AP always dings MP, using AP reduces MP which reduces the amount you will cool. So using AP both creates heat and, as long as you have MP remaining before using AP, it also diminishes the amount of heat you will lose.

It is important to note that any MP lost to a -MP buff will be reserved for Heat dissipation.

I don't think he has, but it would be a pretty interesting enemy! Especially considering the Templars' fast assault combat doctrine.

There aren't any crippling attacks from enemies that steal MP yet.
I will work on that.

I'm beginning to suspect you've been fooling with FTL communication, fallen. Nevertheless, my Knights will not bow before your Narvidian Over Lords and their genetic tampering. My Sniper looks forward to this new foe!
