How long does Domination/Mind Control effect last?
I'm currently on my final mission (Commander/Ironman) and I've just triggered the pod (2 codexes, 2 gatekeepers) before the last hall. I've dominated one of the gatekeepers with my Commander Avatar and have a chance to dominate either a codex or another gatekeeper.
However, I'm not sure about the mechanics. Many threads say the domination lasts forever which is untrue. I can tell that from my personal experience playing Veteran/Ironman 3 weeks ago (pretty painful when mind control of a gatekeeper was lost on the final mission). My questions are:
- Are there any differences in the effect comparing Psi Op and Commander Avatar (other that the former can be used once per mission)?
- What would you dominate with a Pri Op in my situation? A codex or the second gatekeeper? Or, keep the charge for later turns?
