Psi Power
The Psi Power is one of your special ability among other Tactical Technologies in the Evolution: Battle for Utopia game.
Description
The PSI Strike Deals a psionic strike to the enemy and will heal you if it kills the enemy.
You can unlock the research for this ability at the last hack within the Elysium Cargo Ship location.
After researching this skill you get an extra button at the bottom right corner over your main weapon, allowing you to perform the PSI Attack. The attack will be enabled after a 15 second. But to get it to deal its full damage it has to be charged by either killing enemies (slow) or getting damage (fast). One kill gives about 5% charge. The charge level is indicated by an orange overlay of the button. The damage dealt is from 10% to 100% of the skills level damage.
You will only be healed when the PSI Strike kills your target. The amount of healing also depends on the hit points left before the kill. So if you dealt almost the max. amount of which your level of the skill is capable of, you get almost the full healing. The lesser hit points your target had when it died, the lesser the healing will be.
Each activation of the skill costs Crystallite, starting with 25 for the base level and is increased by 4 for each level (except 10th and 11th levels).
Upgrades
After you get the base Psi Power ability, you can upgrade it at the Research Center. Currently level 11 is the highest level you can obtain.
On the 11th level of the Psi Power you will be able to deal up to 5000 damage and steal up to 1650 health points. Each PSI Strike will need 65 to perform.

The difference between the amount of crystallite you save if you do the cost reduction and the amount of crystallite spent on the cost reduction, is not worth.
If you are at level 5 and want to research level 6, you need to do 20 psy kills. 20*45 = 900 units of crystallite to have 300 units of reduction! Maybe it doesn’t worth the cost reduction! The hypothetical advantage might be in the CDs and magmatite that you don’t spend in the 20 psy kills which are 8 CDs and 300 magmatite…???? Kinda smells to me like it doesn’t worth it!
That’s an issue if you’re specifically doing psy strikes to get the research discount. If you’re just playing the game normally, you’ll be doing strikes as needed, so later on the discount is welcome.
Another detail about Psy Strikes. I think Psy Strikes do not inflicts always the same damage. If enemy is a shielded enemy of if he’s crouching behind the shield, the damage inflicted is lower than what is announced in the table above!
Correct me if I’m wrong!|
Psi strike must be fully charged to make a full damage. It not depends of the shield.
For sure? I think I’ve seen fully charged Psy Strike not to take the full amount of damage it was supposed to but I’ll try to check it out!
to do the cost discount in later levels… do the cost discount in special ops… lyk in terminator operation… u have to do 20 psy strikes… do it… that way you will do both the psy strikes together… of course it isnt useful in earlier levels…
That’s a good idea 😀
Just wanted to share a little bit of tips on doing Psi Strikes on Earlier Levels.
On early level is the time building up stockpile of Grenades & Medpacks. I always max upgrade my Frisky up to my level.
So the best enemy to take Psi Strikes on are those Shield Bearer guys, because he is armored AND have lots of HP so my near maxed Acid Pistol + Reconnaisance Research Lv.2 didn’t kills him too quickly.
One notch higher level than this is those Ripper MG guys, similiarly he is armored & have lots of hp.
О, выкидывает только на русской версии сайта. А пожалиться хотел на давнее неудобство – в бою для использования пси кажет расход кристаллита, а не мощь психи. Через годик зашел подраться и … не знаю, на что пойдут 49 кристаллитов при пси-ударе. А меня Братец-Торец встречает. Некомфортно, однако.
